The Ford Five Hundred, a mid-size sedan produced from 2005 to 2007, was a significant departure from the traditional Ford sedan lineup. Built on the Ford D3 platform, shared with the Mercury Montego, it showcased a more modern and refined aesthetic. While retaining the robust build quality synonymous with Ford, the Five Hundred prioritized a comfortable and spacious interior, targeting families seeking a practical and stylish vehicle. Its cabin featured ample headroom and legroom, thanks to a tall and wide design. The interior boasted upscale materials and a user-friendly layout, incorporating features like leather upholstery, dual-zone climate control, and a power sunroof, depending on trim level. The Five Hundred aimed to provide a refined and pleasant driving experience, focusing on a smooth ride and a composed handling demeanor, a departure from the sportier focus of some previous Ford sedans.
Under the hood, the Five Hundred offered a choice of two engines: a 3.0-liter Duratec V6 producing 203 horsepower or a 3.0-liter Duratec V6 with variable valve timing, pushing out 221 horsepower. Both engines were paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, offering a smooth and efficient power delivery. The Five Hundred was available in a variety of trim levels, including the SE, SEL, and Limited, catering to diverse needs and preferences. While its sales figures didn't reach the heights of some of Ford's other popular models, the Five Hundred successfully established a new identity for the brand, showcasing a more upscale and refined approach. It ultimately paved the way for the arrival of the Ford Fusion, which further refined the formula and found greater success in the midsize sedan segment.
