The overview

The Crown Victoria is among the last big, full-frame American cars with a V8 and rear-wheel drive. A thrashy 4.6-liter engine provides good acceleration with substantial trailer-towing capability. It offers an absorbent but jiggly ride. An available performance-and-handling package provides improved handling and ride control. The Crown Victoria also boasts three-across seating front and rear, as well as a huge trunk. Still, the rear seat isn't as roomy as one might expect. This model was restyled for 1998 and also received a number of suspension refinements. 2003 models had a revised suspension and steering system. Handling, though, still felt ungainly

Behind the data

Latest source update: September 11, 2026

Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.

Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
