Crown Victoria Comeback in 2026—or Just Rumors?
Social media and some automotive websites have recently circulated news suggesting the potential return of the Ford Crown Victoria to the Saudi car market by 2026, sparking widespread debate among fans of this classic American icon. However, are these reports based on official information? Or are they merely rumors propagated by enthusiasts longing for this formidable vehicle?
The roots of this rumor trace back to tweets published at the end of 2024, discussing the imminent return of the 2026 Crown Victoria with an updated design that meets the demands of modern cars in terms of hybrid engines, safety systems, and even full support for smart systems. This caught the attention of popular online accounts, contributing to the spread of the news.
The significant interest in the return of the Ford Crown Victoria stems not only from its being a powerful and reliable car but also from its long history and special presence, especially in the Arab world, particularly Saudi Arabia, where it was equipped with its strong rear-wheel drive engine with 8 cylinders and a capacity of 4.6 liters, making it an unforgettable icon on the streets at that time.
Even after its production ceased in 2012, this car continued to win people’s hearts, as the Saudi car market witnessed a remarkable increase in its prices, reaching an increase of nearly 45% compared to its usual price, solely due to its rarity and high reliability.
Is the Return of the 2026 Crown Victoria a Fact or a Rumor?
Ford has not issued any official statement confirming or denying its intention to reintroduce the Crown Victoria, as Ford’s official website and its trusted media sources are entirely devoid of any information regarding the revival of this classic model, neither in 2026 nor in any upcoming year.
What we see today in rumors about its return in the 2026 edition is simply attempts by car enthusiasts to push the company toward considering a relaunch, especially with the return of classic names like the Ford Bronco and Hummer. Despite the passion of citizens in Saudi Arabia for the powerful and sturdy Crown Victoria model, the news of its return in 2026 remains mere unverified rumors.
A social media activist published a video on the X platform explaining that the American Ford company has not issued any official announcement regarding the return of the Crown Victoria model, noting that most American car manufacturers have halted the production of sedans in general. He also confirmed that the rumor of the Crown Victoria’s return recurs every year or two, but it is not based on any real information, merely circulated news without official foundation.
In conclusion, the significant interest in the car is due to its long history and reliability, particularly in the Saudi market, which has seen a rise in its prices after production stopped in 2012. With this rumor repeating every year or two, it remains mere unverified claims to this day.
