Ford's New Police Interceptor to Debut at Chicago Auto Show

WESTLAND, Mich. – With any auto show comes the anticipation of new vehicle debuts. While we all may be a bit biased towards the Detroit Auto Show since it takes place right here at home, we must not forget that automakers use various other auto shows as the stage for new model debuts as well. And that's what Ford Motor Company is doing! According to a teaser tweet the automaker sent out, Ford's New Police Interceptor will debut at the Chicago Auto Show next weekend!

Ford is being quite reserved with this one, giving us only the slightest bit of information to peak our interest. The tweet, sent out via Ford Motor Company's Twitter account is pretty much the only insight we have into the new Police Interceptor's debut set for February 12th. But from the looks of it, one might guess that the new utility vehicle is based off the civilian 2016 Ford Explorer that was revealed at the LA Auto Show. Since the current utility Police Interceptor is based off of the Explorer, it's not unrealistic to think the new Ford Police Interceptor debuting at the Chicago Auto Show will be too!

Press days for the auto show in Chicago kick off on February 12th, with the show opening to the public on February 14th. So in just over a week, we'll have complete details on which new Ford police vehicle we can expect to begin seeing on the roads!

Whether you're looking to upgrade your law enforcement agency's fleet or your personal lineup, the Ford Explorer is built to exceed your every expectation and need. Stop by to take one for a test drive to see what this SUV is made of!

Ford EcoBoost® Police Interceptor Vehicle Dominates Competitors

WESTLAND, Mich - For the third year in a row, Los Angeles Sheriff Department tests the EcoBoost-all wheel-drive-equipped Ford Police Interceptor sedan and utility vehicles at the Fontana raceway in California. Both were the fastest in 0-100 mph acceleration testing and average lap times. The New Ford EcoBoost Police Interceptor dominates competitors, with the utility vehicle accelerating faster than all other base V6 sedans.

Not only is the third annual win a point of pride, but the results of the utility vehicle are remarkable for both the automotive industry and Ford. Police Interceptor utility represents a 60 percent increase of Ford police vehicle sales. With the performance levels achieved by the Police Interceptor sedan and utility vehicle, Ford is leading two major shifts in police vehicles since the newest introduction last year of the all-new Police Interceptor family. Since the launch, Ford Police Interceptor sedan sales increased by 34 percent in the 2013 calendar year. The utility sales are up a massive 142 percent.

The Ford Police Interceptor utility vehicle is only available with all-wheel drive and 88 percent of the sedan's volume is all-wheel drive. LASD tests show police agencies will not need to sacrifice performance for the added space and versatility the utility vehicle provides. The LASD and Michigan State Police tests earlier this year have shown that Ford's all-wheel drive improves handling, most importantly when in chase situations.

Ford Police Interceptor vehicles are getting the attention of agencies nationwide with the attractive ability to save law enforcement's money without compromising speed. The transition from traditional V8-equipped police vehicles to a powerful, more efficient Ford EcoBoost V6 vehicle makes this possible. Ford is continuing to offer law enforcement agencies alternative vehicle choices with the announcement in September of a new non-pursuit-rated, fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost-equipped Special Service Police Sedan. Did we mention it gets 30 mph highway? Ford is continuing to work hard so that their EcoBoost Police Interceptor Vehicles dominate competitors today and in the future.
