The 2001 Crown Victoria is an important vehicle to Ford for the sedan market segment. The S is a member of a series of four trim levels for the Crown Victoria which include LX, Police Interceptor, S, and Base. The four-door car with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Ford. There is strong competition from vehicles from Honda.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $24,370 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $23,005. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 4-door Sedan.
