Ford has been blessed with many award-winning designs, including the Ford Crown Victoria of 2005. There are six trim levels to the Crown Victoria, including Base, LX, Police Interceptor, Special Edition, and LX Sport. The S version is one of the more popular options. Like in 2004 the popular 4.6 liter has made this a popular choice for sedan buyers around the world.

Engine Performance

The restyled Crown Victoria S is equipped with a Ford 4.6-liter 8-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 16 valves. The engine is paired with a Ford 4-speed transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Ford.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $24,430 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $22,926. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Sedan.
