Those classic American police-camera-action" car chase shows are about to get a lot moreeconomical. Because Ford"s just revealed its new Police Interceptor Utility, and the headline isn"t the weight of its battering ram or the quantity of Krispy Kremes that can be stuffed into every interior orifice. It"s the green-ness. Yep, Ford"s new law-enforcing Interceptor now has a standard hybrid drivetrain, in place of the 2017 version"s 3.7-litre petrol V6. As a result, the projected Environmental Protection Agency fuel rating is 24 US-spec miles per gallon a forty per cent improvement versus the non-hybrid version. To us Limeys, that"s around 29mpg. Defending the neighbourhood has never been so eco-friendly. Ford proudly says "the all-new Ford Police Interceptor Utility hybrid responds to calls from law enforcement agencies for improved performance with lower operating costs to help make the lives of law enforcement officers easier with improved pursuit performance [yeah we get it guys, you already said that] and standard all-wheel drive."
