Does the Ford Flex have a turbo?
No, the Ford Flex does not have a turbocharger. The Ford Flex is a full-size crossover SUV that has been in production since 2008, and it has never been offered with a turbocharged engine option.
Detailed Overview of the Ford Flex Engine Options
The Ford Flex has been available with two main engine choices over the years:
- 3.5L V6 engine (standard on all models)
- 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine (optional on higher trims)
The standard 3.5L V6 engine produces 287 horsepower and 254 lb-ft of torque. It is a naturally aspirated engine, meaning it does not use a turbocharger or supercharger to boost power.
The optional 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine, on the other hand, is a turbocharged engine that produces 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. This provides a significant power boost over the standard V6 engine. However, the EcoBoost engine is not available on the base Ford Flex model - it is only offered as an optional upgrade on higher trim levels.
So in summary, while the Ford Flex can be equipped with a more powerful turbocharged engine, the base model does not come with a turbocharger. The standard 3.5L V6 engine is naturally aspirated.
