Back in September, Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/) announced a non-pursuit version of its Police Interceptor Sedan (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ford+police+interceptor/), which swaps out a choice of two V6 engines for a fuel-efficient 2.0-liter EcoBoost (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ecoboost/) inline four-cylinder. This Special Service Police Sedan (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/09/18/ford-announces-first-non-pursuit-rated-police-car-ever/) will be marketed to law enforcement agencies looking to cut fuel costs and don't need the extra power.
For college campuses, detectives and the like, this new police car has now been certified with EPA fuel economy estimates of 20 miles per gallon in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and a combined rating of 24 mpg. These figures represent a decrease of two mpg in city and combined ratings compared to the civilian-spec 2014 Taurus (http://www.autoblog.com/ford/taurus/). These police cars still offer active grille shutters for better aerodynamics, although we're guessing agencies upfitting their cars with light bars and push bumpers aren't exactly concerted with aerodynamics. The true benefit of the SSP version is when it's compared against other police sedan options like the Dodge Charger (http://www.autoblog.com/dodge/charger/), Chevy Impala (http://www.autoblog.com/chevrolet/impala/), Chevy Caprice (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/chevrolet+caprice+ppv/) and even the V6 Police Interceptor Sedan.
Ford claims the new Police Interceptor Sedan SSP is the most fuel-efficient current option for police departments, saying that this car can save $1,720 per car over three years and almost $260,000 over the same span of time for fleets with 150 vehicles. There is an official press release posted below (http://www.mnfords.com/2013/11/26/ford-police-interceptor-2l-ecoboost-most-fuel-efficient/#continued), and also check out the gallery of images from Ford collected from various police agencies across the US (although none show the 2.0-liter SSP model). Head on over to Ford's Police Interceptor mini-site (http://www.ford.com/fordpoliceinterceptor/interceptorsonduty/) for even more pictures of the Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility.Continue reading Ford Police Interceptor with 2.0L EcoBoost rated most fuel-efficient police sedan (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/11/26/ford-police-interceptor-2l-ecoboost-most-fuel-efficient/)
