Several things can be said about the Ford Crown Victoria series: including the polarizing reactions most buyers have towards their car. The eight-cylinder engine is at the heart of the strong emotions, it is powerful for its class and delivers a large amount of torque.

Ford Crown Victoria Engine Specs

The restyled Crown Victoria LX Sport is equipped with a 4.6-liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The engine is mated to a Ford four-speed transmission. This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 2003 version.

The fuel system for the 2004 Crown Victoria is a SFI system, running on CNG . The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The 19.00-gallon tank provides the fuel storage for longer trips.

The Crown Victoria uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

Vehicle Statistics

The dimensions of the Crown Victoria LX Sport are 78.20 inches wide by 212.00 inches long. It sits 58.30 inches off the ground. It seats a standard six passengers, with 4 doors. The wheelbase of 114.70 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.

The listed retail price in 2004 (MSRP) was $24,085, with a dealer invoice cost of $22,559. This price is on target the industry average price for a four-door Sedan.

The standard warranty period for the Crown Victoria is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the sedan market.

Fuel Efficiency

The 2004 Crown Victoria gets 25 miles/gallon on the highway and only 17 in the city. This is subpar for a sedan car.

We Think...

The 2004 model year was telling year for the Ford Crown Victoria. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the LX Sport version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.
