Last year, the 2025 Ford Explorer dropped last year with fresh styling and a redesigned interior to match. Later on, the Explorer’s law enforcement-ready cousin, the 2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility, also debuted sporting some upgrades of its own. That includes a unique interior display, and below, Ford Authority outlines what that screen looks like – and what set it apart from the “regular” Explorer’s setup.
The 2025 Police Interceptor features an eight-inch color “smart display” affixed to the center stack. It offers a picture-in-picture rear camera display, which expands rear visibility when the rearview camera is in use. There’s also an optional 1/4 picture-in-picture rear camera display. That screen is paired with a 12.3-inch police instrument cluster display, which includes a calibrated digital speedometer. It supports the addition of an auxiliary display or laptop setup.
Beyond that eight-inch display, there’s also an available 12.1-inch integrated computer screen, which eliminates the need for a secondary laptop.
For comparison, the civilian 2025 Ford Explorer is fitted with a standard 13.2-inch display. That screen runs Ford Digital Experience – something that’s not offered on the 2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility.
Interestingly, while it does feature an overhauled interior, the 2025 Ford Police Interceptor does not boast the same revised front fascia as its civilian counterpart, an interesting tidbit that Ford Authority originally revealed back in July 2023. Instead, the vehicle features the same front end as the pre-refresh model. It’s also still offered with the 3.3L V6 hybrid powertrain as standard, thanks 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.
Ford Pro Vehicle Integration System 2.0 is standard fare, along with Police Perimeter Alert, which keeps a watchful eye on threats in the vehicle’s immediate vicinity. Other tech features include Police Engine Idle, which allows officers to leave the engine running but also lock the vehicle and take the keys with them, and Police Dark Car mode that is designed to help law enforcement remain discrete during stakeouts.
