====Second generation==== [[File:2020 Ford Explorer Hybrid Interceptor spec front NYIAS 2019.jpg|thumb|Second generation Ford Police Interceptor Utility at the 2019 [[New York International Auto Show]]]] In 2019, for the 2020 model year, Ford released a second-generation Police Interceptor Utility, derived from the sixth-generation Explorer.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a21289331/this-is-the-new-2020-ford-explorerin-cop-car-form/ |title=This Is the New 2020 Ford Explorer—in Cop-Car Form |work=Car and Driver |date=January 4, 2019}}</ref> Offered exclusively in a permanent all-wheel drive configuration, it now rides on Ford's all-new rear-wheel drive based CD6 platform. The second generation FPIU does not have a sedan counterpart; the Ford Police Interceptor Sedan was discontinued in 2019. Many of the same Utility-specific standard features were carried over from the first-generation version. For the first time, the FPIU was offered in a hybrid drive-train configuration. Bluetooth is now standard as is a 250 amp alternator, Ford Telematics, and dual-zone front temperature control. A 12.1-inch center stack display is now optional, and the optional perimeter alarm has been advanced. The second generation FPIU gains cargo space (even with hybrid batteries on board) over its predecessor.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Ford Police Interceptor Utility|url= https://www.ford.com/police-vehicles/hybrid-utility/ |access-date=February 26, 2022 |work=Ford Motor Company}}</ref> The second generation FPIU was offered with three all-new engine choices: a twin-turbocharged 3.0L EcoBoost V6 making {{cvt|400|hp|kW PS}} and {{cvt|415|lbft|Nm}} of torque, a 3.3L Hybrid V6 making {{cvt|318|hp|kW PS}} and {{cvt|332|lbft|Nm}} of torque, and a naturally aspirated 3.3 L V6 engine making {{cvt|285|hp|kW PS}} and {{cvt|260|lbft|Nm}} of torque, the latter of which is unavailable on the retail Ford Explorer. All iterations of the second-generation FPIU use a 10-speed automatic transmission. Notably, the 3.0 L EcoBoost V6 Utility was the quickest police vehicle available in Michigan State Police testing with a {{cvt|0 to 60|mph}} time of 5.5 seconds and a top speed of {{cvt|148|mph|km/h}}.<ref>{{cite web|last=Irwin |first=Austin |date=October 14, 2021 |title=Ford Explorer Remains Quickest Police Car Sold Today, for Now |url= https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a37952485/ford-explorer-quickest-police-car-sold-today/ |access-date=February 26, 2022 |work=Car and Driver}}</ref> The new hybrid system is based on Ford's fourth-generation modular hybrid system, which shares up to 90% of its parts with the Escape Hybrid and F-150 Hybrid. It is estimated that the hybrid drive-train will save departments between $3,500 and $5,700 a year per vehicle in fuel costs.<ref>{{cite web|date=May 17, 2019 |title=2020 Ford Explorer Police Interceptor Hybrid Review |url= https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/2020-ford-explorer-hybrid-police-interceptor-review/ |access-date=February 26, 2022 |work=MotorTrend}}</ref> In total, the hybrid system increased the combined fuel economy of the Utility from {{cvt|19|mpgus}} to {{cvt|24|mpgus}}, a 26% increase.
