Press Release
Body = The Five Hundred will become Ford's flagship sedan. It has
higher seating, increased interior space, and optional all-wheel
drive. The Five
Hundred has considerably more interior space than the full-size
Crown Victoria, even though it's only 25 centimeters shorter
"While
the industry tries to make car-based crossovers, the Ford Five Hundred
stands alone as the first crossover-based car" said Ford vice
president Phil Martens.
It's a 4-door
sedan with SUV and crossover advantages, including cargo capability,
versatility, "command" seating and available all-wheel
drive.
The Five Hundred's
3.0-litre Duratec V6 engine makes 200 horsepower while two transmissions
will be offered: a six-speed automatic and a CVT (continuously variable
transmission).
The front seat
H (hip) point is four inches higher than that in a typical midsize
sedan, and the rear seats are higher still. Legroom is best-in-class
front and rear,
while the trunk is biggest in class. An appealing truck/SUV attribute
of the Ford 500 is high seating that helps drivers see over-or at
least eye-to-eye with-other vehicles for a feeling of security.
Standard features
include 17-inch wheels (upgraded to 18-in. on SEL and Limited),
entry keypad and one-touch "up" front power windows. Options
include AWD, leather seating with power adjustments (including power
recliner for the driver), fold-flat
front passenger seat, reverse parking assist and a moon roof, but
not yet a navigation system.
The Five Hundred
is a front-wheel-drive car with available all-wheel drive. It uses
an electronically controlled, electro-hydraulic Haldex limited-slip
viscous coupling just ahead of the rear differential to transfer
torque to the rear wheels whenever the fronts begin to slip. Electronic
controls gather information from the anti-lock brakes and other
sensors to enable it to react within 50 milliseconds, much faster
than competitive viscous devices.
Ford 500 Safety
feature boasts structural advances such as "Space Architecture"
cross-car beams, which won four top five-star safety ratings from
the National
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), including for front and side
impacts. It was the only 2005 model tested to win top marks for
those two crash tests without the optional side air bags.
