Ford Explorer police car to get hybrid drive, more features

U.S. car manufacturer Ford has revealed some details concerning the next generation of police cars based on the Explorer SUV. The series will ship with a more comprehensive feature list and a choice of three engines, including a hybrid one.

More specifically, the upcoming ford Explorer police car will get a 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine, a 3.3L naturally-aspirated one, and a hybrid one with regenerative brake support. Their respective performance data aren’t being discussed yet. All three will work in conjunction with 10-speed automatic transmissions.

Aside from the above, the police vehicle will get new electronic driver aids: a rear view camera, a telemetry system, an automatic door lock, and a perimeter guard that scans a 270° area around the car for potential risk factors.
