The LX Sport model has a monochromatic exterior. Body-color grille, bumpers, decklid applique and taillamp trim are standard with the Dark Toreador Red, Silver Birch, Tungsten and Black exterior colors.
The LX Sport interior includes front bucket seats with leather trim and a leather-wrapped h and le on the gear selector located in the center console. The console includes large and small storage bins, a padded armrest and concealed power point. The console and rear armrest both offer dual cup holders.
Powertrain
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.
The optional H and ling and Performance package, standard on the LX Sport, has a dual exhaust system that increases the engine’s performance to 239 horsepower at 4,900 rpm and 287 pound-feet of torque at 4,100 rpm. It also includes an uprated torque converter, monotube shocks, a rear stabilizer bar and rear air suspension.
Crown Victoria uses an electronically controlled four-speed automatic overdrive transmission.
Safety and Security
Since 1996, Crown Victoria has earned the U.S. government’s highest crash test rating – five-star – for driver and passenger frontal crash. 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, LATCH, SmartLock and a glow-in-the-dark internal trunk release h and le.
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.
