Vehicle Highlights

Ford's big rear-wheel-drive sedan is a close cousin of the Mercury Grand Marquis. Crown Victoria offers Standard and LX models with a front bench seat and an LX Sport with front buckets and center console. A 4-speed automatic transmission mates to a 4.6-liter V8 with 224 hp in base form, 239 in LX Sport or with the Handling and Performance Package available for LX. ABS is standard for all, traction control optional. Curtain side airbags aren't offered, but front side airbags are available for LX and LX Sport, which now come with a trip computer. New for '06 is an in-glass radio antenna to replace an exterior mast-type.
