2007 Five Hundred
It’s more than just comfortable, confident and convenient. It’s
safe. Quite honestly, it’s one of the safest cars in America. And
for good reason. Ford Five Hundred’s innovative vehicle structure
earned it the highest crash test safety ratings — 5 Stars in all
4 categories — from the government’s National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA). Only a select number of cars can
lay claim to that distinction. Even more impressive, that 5-Star
status for Five Hundred was achieved without front-seat side
airbags, which are available if you so choose. How much does
5-Star safety mean to you, your family and your friends? Think
about it the next time you see someone run a red. Then feel
that much better knowing you, and those close to you, are
well-fortified in Ford Five Hundred.
It’s the best

Five Hundred Limited in Black, decked out in the all-new Chrome Package option — with chrome-mesh grille and chrome-clad wheels
A commanding presence
Sitting behind the wheel of Five Hundred means you’re not only
part of the action, you’re emphatically in control of it: Command
Seating TM provides you with extraordinary visibility all around. In
the Limited, you’re treated to the luxury of a leather-trimmed,
8-way power, heated driver’s seat with 2-user memory — settings
can be recalled for the heated sideview mirrors, as well. Leather
trim extends to the shifter and steering wheel, which includes
a second set of major audio controls placed right at your
fingertips. With Dual-zone Electronic Automatic Temperature
Control, you and your front passenger (who’s also treated to
a power seat with 2 built-in heat modes) can choose settings
independently; the system maintains temperatures automatically.
Even the guests in Five Hundred’s roomiest-in-class rear seat are
pampered with an exclusive set of adjustable climate vents.
Uncommon courtesy abounds.
Navigate Nationwide.
Use the available DVD Navigation System (shown
left in center console). Its generous 6.5" color LCD illuminates sharp color graphics
and step-by-step, touch-screen prompts. More than 20 different functions – audible
and visual – are readily accessible.

At a
touch, fully retract the optional power

Leave nothing behind
It appears there are 2 categories of large cars: Ford Five Hundred,
and all the rest . Interior volume measures a phenomenal, bestin-class 129.5 cu. ft. And when you flatten the split-folding rear
seatback and fold-down front-passenger seat, Five Hundred suddenly
asserts its sensational versatility — giving you the ability to carry
items up to 9' in length. However, you may not have to use that
elongated space very often; the trunk’s low liftover height and
big-time cargo capacity make way for up to 8 full-sized golf bags.
Stow smaller-scale items within each door’s integrated holder,
the locking glove compartment, the center console, or a covered
storage bin that’s cleverly integrated atop the instrument panel.
8 beverage holders are also part and parcel of Five Hundred.
Always Have a Backup Plan.
An optional Reverse Sensing System
helps when you’re slowly backing up or parallel parking. The system senses objects
up to 6' behind your car, beeping more rapidly the closer you get.

Smooth is the word for it
Attached to Five Hundred’s exceptionally stiff chassis is a 4-wheel,
fully independent suspension designed to absorb road irregularities
with no effect on the opposite wheel — whether it’s the front or
Confidence With an Emphasis on Comfort.
Five Hundred’s multilink independent rear suspension puts a
formidable 24 tuned bushings (30 bushings on AWD models) into
action to cushion forces. Its MacPherson strut front suspension –
with a rearward-facing L-arm – employs an entirely different set
of bushings. Quite the contingent for comfort: lean is minimized
and road imperfections are shrugged off.
rear taking the bump. Specifically tuned spring rates help achieve
superb ride and precise handling characteristics. A 6-speed
automatic transmission makes maximum use of torque to bring
the front-wheel-drive Five Hundred rapidly up to speed. When
less torque is required, 2 overdrive gears greatly benefit fuel
economy. Smart 6-speed technology actually “learns” your driving
habits over time and adjusts shift points accordingly. The proven
3.0L Duratec 30 DOHC V6 engine enlists sound-dampening magnesium
cam covers and response-infused, drive-by-wire Electronic Throttle
Control for quiet, optimal performance. 203 hp and 207 lb.-ft. of
torque have never felt this good.
Terrific Fuel Economy, Plus.
EPA-estimated fuel economy for
Five Hundred with front-wheel drive (FWD) is 21 mpg city/29 hwy.; for All-Wheel
Drive (AWD) it’s a best-in-class 19 mpg city/25 hwy. In addition, the Duratec 30
V6 doesn’t require a tune-up until 100,000 miles, has a
150,000-mile drive belt, and its gaskets and seals are
rated for 15 years of use. The 6-speed transmission fluid
should perform for 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever
comes first. And the CVT is maintenance-free for its first
60,000 miles. That’s ease of ownership.

On any road. In any weather. During any maneuver. If anything
compromises traction, nothing performs like optional All-Wheel

Awd at the Ready, Even When
the Going Gets Dry. If you buy into the
misconception that AWD only benefits you on slippery
roads, you’ll miss the whole point. Over varying
surfaces, during rapid acceleration and while cornering
quickly, AWD seamlessly distributes power between
the front and rear wheels to give you increased control
and performance. You probably won’t be aware it’s
working – you’ll just savor the rush.
in front-wheel-drive mode. But as soon as a hint of wheel slip is
detected, the class-exclusive HALDEX® AWD system immediately
goes into action. Within milliseconds, power is passed to the
wheels with the most traction. Traction Control works in concert
with AWD, distributing up to 100% of the engine’s available
torque to a single wheel with the best grip. It’s all about keeping
you going where you want to go.

As the editors of automotive.com can testify:
Seamless-as-CVT Response.
Unlike standard transmissions, the
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) – that comes with AWD models – has
no gears. An intricate steel-link belt (shown left) connects 2 variable-size, high-strength
steel-alloy pulleys. One pulley handles input from the engine while the other sends
it to the drive wheels. The ratio of the 2 pulleys is continuously varied to keep your
engine in its most efficient range, and your drive smooth and velvet-like.
“... we did take time to try an All-Wheel-Drive
Five Hundred on a dirt hill in a rock quarry.
While another All-Wheel-Drive vehicle spun
its wheels and struggled mightily to climb the
slippery hill, the All-Wheel-Drive Five Hundred
sedan went right up and over.”

You heard it once, but it doesn’t hurt to hear it again: Ford Five Hundred
is among a select few cars in the Large Car class to earn the highest
crash test safety ratings* — 5 Stars in every category — from the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. As if that wasn’t
sterling enough, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety
evaluated front, side and rear crashworthiness** for Five Hundred
as Good — the best rating possible. Talk about a safe bet.

Before the 3rd-Party Exams, It First Had to Excel
With Ford. Ford Engineering utilized a Total Vehicle Geometry process
for Five Hundred, which resulted in some of the best-quality prototypes in Ford
Motor Company history. That intense development was bolstered by more than
4.5 million miles of durability testing.
