2007 Ford Crown Victoria: Overview

Vehicle Highlights

Virtually unchanged for 2007, Ford's only 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. A Sport Handling and Performance Package for LX includes front buckets and a center console. A 4-speed automatic transmission mates to a 4.6-liter V8 with 224 hp in base form, 239 with either of two performance packages. ABS is standard for all, traction control optional. Curtain side airbags aren't offered, but front side airbags are available for LX. Note: Ford says that 2007 will be the last year Crown Victoria will be available for retail sale.
