Fuel Economy

You can find the ordering guide on the official Ford’s website. However, that guide does not include some performance and fuel economy numbers. However, Blue Oval did say the hybrid engine will be standard and it will show 40 percent of improvement over the current Interceptor Utility model. The current model provides 24 mpg combined so those figures will be over 30 mpg on the new model.

The utility model will offer more equipment than the consumer variant. The 2020 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor SUV offers a new $2,000 package that will add more standard equipment. That includes Ford’s new built-in modem, Bluetooth pass-through voice commands, and a rear view camera. From the outside, Explorer will gain LED headlights and more chrome materials. The interior will look very modern and the comfort is great as always before.
