Crown Victoria is powered by a 4.6-liter V8 that produces 224 horsepower. The base Crown Victoria ($23,620) comes standard with air conditioning, ABS, power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, and an AM/FM stereo/cassette sound system.
The LX ($26,645) adds AM/FM stereo with a single-CD player, eight-way power passenger seat, power adjustable pedals, an overhead console, and remote keyless entry. A Premier Group option ($1,205) for the LX adds electronic climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and climate controls, power passenger lumbar support, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
The LX Sport package ($2,945) upgrades the driving experience with a dual exhaust system that boosts the output to 239 horsepower, firmer suspension tuning, beefy P235/55HR17 tires on special five-spoke alloy wheels, a lower-ratio rear axle for quicker acceleration, and dual exhausts for more power. Sport models get all the features in the Premier Group package plus leather-trimmed front bucket seats with a floor-mounted gear selector (also leather-trimmed), an armrest/central storage compartment with twin cup holders, a mini-storage bin below the center of the dash, and a monochrome exterior. The Handling Package ($615) is also offered as a stand-alone option on Crown Victoria and Crown Victoria LX.
Laminated door glass ($295) is available on 2004 Crown Victoria LX and LX Sport to provide extra security against 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 fading of the interior.
Other stand-alone options include front side-impact airbags ($300), all-speed traction control with electronic brake force distribution ($235), six-disc CD changer ($165), heated rearview mirrors ($35), electronic instrumentation ($235), power adjustable pedals for the base model ($120), a full-size spare ($115), and a trunk organizer ($190).
