Ford Motor Co. (F) will end production of the Flex crossover, citing its plan to focus on faster-growing segments.

Flex production is winding down at the Oakville Assembly Complex in Ontario. Oakville also built the Lincoln MKT, which ended production earlier this month, Ford said.

In a statement discussing the history of the Flex, the company said "it had both crossover and minivan elements in a hip, trendy package that stood out from what was becoming a really boring minivan segment." Ford said more than 296,000 were sold during an 11-year run.
