The Ford Five Hundred, also known as the Ford 500, was a mid-size sedan produced by Ford Motor Company from 2005 to 2007. It was part of a new generation of Ford vehicles that aimed to challenge the dominance of Japanese and Korean rivals in the segment. The Five Hundred was designed with a focus on comfort, spaciousness, and technology, offering a blend of car-like handling and SUV-like interior room. It was positioned above the Ford Taurus in Ford's lineup and shared its platform with the Mercury Montego.
The Five Hundred's design was a departure from the traditional Ford sedan styling. It featured a distinctive, rounded shape with a prominent grille and large headlights. The interior was also modern and spacious, offering ample legroom and headroom for both front and rear passengers. The car was available with a range of features, including leather seats, power windows and locks, a premium sound system, a sunroof, and a navigation system. Under the hood, the Five Hundred was powered by a 3.0L V6 engine with 203 horsepower or a 3.5L V6 engine with 240 horsepower, paired with either a four-speed or five-speed automatic transmission. However, the Five Hundred faced criticism for its fuel economy, handling, and lack of driving excitement, leading to disappointing sales compared to its competitors. Despite its short lifespan, the Ford Five Hundred represented a shift in Ford's design language and reflected the company's efforts to regain market share in the fiercely competitive American automobile market.
