Armed with the 365-hp** EcoBoost V63 and standard AWD, it out-accelerates the competition’s V8-equipped utility (and all base V6-powered sedans too).* In the most recent official tests by the Michigan State Police and Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, this Police Interceptor clocked the quickest 0-60-mph and 0-100-mph acceleration times, the fastest quarter-mile time, the best top speed in the quarter mile, and the fastest average lap time compared to all utility vehicles.* Dominant is the word for it.
An intimidating presence, offering commanding views and more. Front seats feature slim, uniquely shaped bolsters that enable officers to quickly get in, get going and get out. Those minimized bolsters supply ample room for a holstered pistol (left- or right-hand). To allow for a finessed fit, the 6-way power driver’s seat is standard. Reconfigure the rear 60/40 split-fold bench as desired, or fold it fully out of the way for 85.1 cu. ft. of load space and a 1,630-lb. standard payload capacity. Devices and dogs can be kept cooler with the auxiliary air conditioning.*** The liftgate release switch in the overhead console is not only handy, but helps provide added security by relocking the mechanism after 45 seconds if unopened. A rear view camera with washer is standard – the camera display in the 4" center-stack LCD screen is standard too, or choose to have that display in the rearview mirror as a no-charge option.
It’s purpose-built in the U.S.A.**** – engineered in Dearborn and assembled in Chicago. As a cost-control measure, a number of components on the Utility are identical to the Sedan. The standard 3.7L V6 and available 3.5L EcoBoost V6 share many parts for simplified service. This holds true for the front seats and brakes. Furthermore, the Police Interceptor key doesn’t contain a microchip, meaning cost is minimal for copies and the entire fleet can run with one common design.
*Based on Michigan State Police and Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department test results for 2016 models.
**Horsepower and torque ratings achieved with 93-octane fuel.
***Available feature.
****Assembled in the U.S.A. with domestic and foreign parts.
