Overview

For 2007, Crown Victoria is offered in Standard and LX trim levels. New standard equipment includes an AM/FM audio system with a single-disc CD player, and remote keyless entry with SmartLock. A new Premium Sport Handling and Performance Package is available on LX models. Customers can also choose from an exterior color palette that has been freshened by the addition of two colors in the 2007 model year.

Crown Victoria is one of only a few large, rear-wheel-drive, V-8-powered passenger cars. It offers 106.4 cubic feet of passenger volume, and the trunk has 20.6 cubic feet of space. Besides generous helpings of power and space, the car provides an exemplary ride and notable passenger compartment isolation, thanks to its body-on-frame architecture.

Crown Victoria is built in St. Thomas, Ontario.

Design and Equipment

The Crown Victoria’s clean styling features wide door openings, large glass areas for good visibility, wraparound aerodynamic headlamps and standard remote-control power outside mirrors. The color-keyed bodyside moldings help protect against parking lot dings.

The new LX Premium Sport Handling and Performance Package includes revised springs, monotube shocks, a rear stabilizer bar, rear air suspension and a stainless steel dual exhaust. The package also has 17-inch, five-spoke aluminum wheels and a body-colored grille. Inside, the new LX Premium Sport Handling and Performance Package features a leather-covered floor shifter lever, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and driver-passenger bucket seats with adjustable lumbar.

Powertrain and Chassis

Crown Victoria is powered by a 4.6-liter, single-overhead-cam V-8 engine that develops 224 horsepower at 4,800 rpm and 272 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm.

On the LX Premium Sport Handling and Performance Package, the free-flowing dual exhaust system increases engine output to 239 horsepower at 4,900 rpm and 287 pound-feet of torque at 4,100 rpm.

All Crown Victoria models use an electronically controlled four-speed automatic overdrive transmission and electronic throttle control.

Safety and Security

Since 1996, Crown Victoria has earned the U.S. government’s highest, five-star crash-test rating for driver and passenger frontal crashes. Major contributors to Crown Victoria’s safety performance are a robust frame design, a large crumple zone and Ford Motor Company’s Personal Safety System®.

Seat-mounted side air bags for the front outboard seats are an available option.

Other safety features include Beltminder™, child safety locks on the rear doors, Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH), SmartLock and a glow-in-the-dark internal trunk release handle.

Laminated front side glass is available to provide extra security against smash-and-grab break-ins and thefts. It also reduces road and wind noise, improves protection from flying glass in a collision and filters out most of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays, thus reducing heat buildup and interior fading.

News - Crash Test Results:

Frontal Driver: * * * * *

Frontal Passenger: * * * * *

Side Driver: * * * * *

Side Rear Passenger: * * * * *

Crash Test Note: Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and airbags.

NHTSA Rollover Rating: * * * * *

Rollover Note: The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating utilizes a "fishhook" maneuver which is a series of abrupt turns at varying speeds to see how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars).
