The Ford Five Hundred (code name D258) was a full-size sedan. The 2007 Ford Five Hundred remained basically unchanged. There were no substantial styling changes and no new powertrain options, but the SE model was discontinued. There is a new Chrome Package available, which includes 18-inch eight-spoke chrome wheels and a chrome mesh grille. Also new for Ford Five Hundred 2007 is a 5-year / 60,000–mile powertrain warranty, and arriving late 2007 are standard front-seat-mounted side air bags, as well as Ford’s innovative Safety Canopy side air curtain system. Available powertrains consist of a 3.0 L Duratec 30 V6 engine, and the choice of a continuously variable transmission or six-speed automatic transmission. Ford Five Hundred models were equipped with either Continental 17″ tires in the SE and SEL trims; the Limited trim featured 18″ Pirelli sports tires. The AWD system is taken from the Volvo XC90. It is not a full time system; when as power is needed in the rear the AWD system activates.
