2019 Ford Police Responder Hybrid

The 2019 Ford Police Responder Hybrid is a specialized vehicle tailored for law enforcement, particularly aimed at enhancing efficiency during local patrol operations. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter hybrid powertrain and features front-wheel drive, generating 188 horsepower. The vehicle stands out for its exceptional fuel efficiency, boasting an EPA-estimated combined rating of 38 mpg while significantly reducing fuel consumption by utilizing its lithium-ion battery to power police equipment during idle times. Designed specifically for police work, it incorporates heavy-duty suspension components, rugged police-purposed wheels and tires, and a police-tuned regenerative braking system. The interior includes police-specific cloth front seats that accommodate duty belts for practicality. Durability is a key focus, as the vehicle has undergone extensive testing, although it does not meet the 75-mph rear-impact crash test standards set for Ford Police Interceptors, underscoring its unique role in the law enforcement vehicle lineup.
