Overview

The 2011 Ford Crown Victoria sedan makes for an excellent contender in the fullsize sedan class. With just one trim on offer, the Ford Crown Victoria has a base MSRP of $29,255 competing directly with the Chevrolet Impala, the Chrysler 300, and the Toyota Avalon. Only a 4.6L V8 engine is offered, mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 239 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 7.6 seconds, the Crown Victoria maintains a combined fuel economy of 19 MPG. Ford offers the Crown Victoria in 7 stunning colors, with the Classic Red being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

The Ford Crown Victoria is one of the longest-standing sedan models ever produced by Ford. With just one trim on offer, it adds a decent amount of convenient features like cloth upholstery, leather steering wheel, wiper-activated headlamps, 4-speaker sound system, and a few other features.
