2005 Ford Five Hundred Complemented with Top Notch Parts for
Parts Train
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.
