The second generation Crown Victoria was introduced in 1998 with revised exterior styling, rear suspension and ignition system. The 1998-02 models featured revised 4 link rear suspension with a Watts linkage improving the cars road holding.

 

As with the previous generation many were sold to Police Departments. The previous cars entitled P71 which was changed to Police Interceptor for the second generation. These came with black front grille and black rear fascia on the boot lid. The 1999 and 2000 versions have a blacked out version of the standard chrome grille, While the 2001 on models have a black honeycomb type grille. They also have several heavy duty mechanical upgrades.

 

The 2004–2011 Police Interceptor is rated for 186.5 kW (254 PS; 250 hp) mostly due to the addition of a new better flowing air intake system. This system includes a new airbox that is similar to the Mercury Marauder airbox with an integrated 80 mm (3.1 in) mass airflow (MAF) sensor that is part of the airbox lid (but can be serviced individually). This allows for much more precise flow calibration and reduces the chances of air leakage Standard on the 2006 is a redesigned instrument cluster, which now sports an analog speedometer, tachometer, digital odometer with hour meter and trip meter features, and cross-compatibility with the civilian version's. plus . Kevlar-lined front doors, which might be useful as protective barriers during gunfights, are optional Also introduced in 2006, for P70/P72 Commercial Heavy Duty models and P71 Police Interceptor models is a 17" steel wheel, replacing the previous 16" wheels, plus new flat grey wheel covers rather than chromed wheel covers as in previous years.

 

For 2008, the Crown Victoria is restricted to fleet-only sales, and all Panther-platform cars are now flex-fuel cars. The CVPI receives some new options, such as the ability to have keyless entry. Presumably, this feature was added because the Chevrolet Impala Police Sedan has had keyless entry as an option since its inception.
