Year to Year Changes


1993 Ford Crown Victoria: Crown Vic got a new grille. The Touring Sedan departed, but the handling/performance package remained an option. Sedans wore a new applique between taillamps, and cupholders now were built into the dashboard.
1994 Ford Crown Victoria: Dual airbags became standard for '94.
1995 Ford Crown Victoria: Quite a few revisions were evident, led by a revised grille and taillamps, new bumper fascias, new trunk (with wider, lower opening), and color-keyed bodyside moldings. Dashboards wore new woodgrain trim and displayed outside temperature and "gallons to empty," door switches gained backlighting, and the front seat got more rearward travel.
1996 Ford Crown Victoria: A new color-keyed steering wheel had a central horn pad, instead of the former spoke-mounted buttons. Standard variable-assist power steering was revised to deliver more feel.
1997 Ford Crown Victoria: To improve handling, the power steering system was revised to provide more precision and on-center feel.
1998 Ford Crown Victoria: Crown Vic again gets new front and rear styling and a revised rear suspension. Also, horsepower is up by ten on the base engine; five with dual exhausts.
1999 Ford Crown Victoria: After the 1998 redesign, Crown Vic was a virtual rerun for '99.
2000 Ford Crown Victoria: Several safety features were installed for 2000, including an emergency trunk lid release inside the trunk, three child seat upper anchorages for the rear seat, and a chime that sounds to indicate an unbuckled seatbelt. Torque output on both engines increased by 10 pound-feet.
2001 Ford Crown Victoria: Changes for 2001 included adjustable pedals, front airbags that adjust deployment based on crash severity, and headlights that turn on automatically with the wipers. The 4.6-liter V8 engine also gained 20 horsepower this year.
2002 Ford Crown Victoria: New standard features included a power driver seat and heated mirrors on base models, and automatic climate control and power-adjustable brake and accelerator pedals for LX and LX Sport.
2003 Ford Crown Victoria: Revamped underpinnings and optional front side airbags highlighted the mid-2002 introduction of the 2003 Crown Victoria. Frame and suspension were redesigned to improve handling and ride and steering changed from recirculating-ball to rack-and-pinion.
2004 Ford Crown Victoria: No significant changes were made in 2004.
2005 Ford Crown Victoria: Crown Vic carried over into 2005 with no significant changes.
2006 Ford Crown Victoria: New for '06 is an in-glass radio antenna to replace an exterior mast-type.
2007 Ford Crown Victoria: Crown Victoria is virtually unchanged for 2007.
