Vehicle Highlights

Ford's full-size, rear-wheel-drive V8 sedan shares its design with Mercury's Grand Marquis, though Crown Vic has no counterpart to the high-performance Mercury Marauder. Crown Vic offers standard, LX, and LX Sport models. Standard and LX have a front bench seat; the LX Sport has buckets with a center console. Automatic transmission is standard. The sole engine is a 4.6-liter V8 with 224 hp in base form, 239 in the LX Sport or with the optional Handling and Performance Package. ABS is standard; front side airbags are optional on LX and LX Sport, traction control is optional on all. A new option on LX and LX Sport for 2004 is laminated side-window glass. Ford says it reduces wind noise, is less prone to breakage in a collision, and improves security against "smash-and-grab" thefts.
