The refreshed 2025 Ford Explorer debuted this past February, and has since entered production at the Chicago Assembly plant, alongside its luxurious counterpart, the Lincoln Aviator. With deliveries of both of those updated models already underway, it was only a matter of time before the 2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility debuted as the law enforcement-focused version of the Explorer, and now, that’s precisely what has happened.
One thing that most will immediately notice is the fact that the 2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility doesn’t utilize the same revised front fascia as its civilian counterpart, an interesting tidbit that Ford Authority originally revealed back in July 2023. Rather, the Police Interceptor Utility soldiers on with the same headlights, grille, and bumper as the previous model, though it has received a few updates in other areas.
Unlike the regular Explorer, the 2025 Ford Police Interceptor is still available with the 3.3L V6 hybrid powertrain – in this case, as standard equipment, which – as Ford Authority reported earlier this month – is due to high demand for the electrified law enforcement version. Customers can also choose from a regular, non-hybrid version of the 3.3L V6, as well as the twin-turbo 3.0L V6 EcoBoost, each driving all four wheels.
Otherwise, there are a bevy of tech updates present in the 2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, including the standard Ford Pro Vehicle Integration System 2.0, Police Perimeter Alert that detects moving threats around the vehicle, Police Engine Idle – which allows officers to leave the engine running but also lock the vehicle and take the keys with them, Police Dark Car – which helps law enforcement remain discrete during stakeouts, Manual Police Pursuit Mode with a steering wheel activation button, and a new, standard 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
We’ll have more on the Ford Police Interceptor Utility soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for the latest Ford Explorer news and continuous Ford news coverage.
