Israel Police is preparing to replace its fleet of senior sedan patrol cars, according to documents distributed to suppliers. The police currently use sedan models for general patrol, such as the Toyota Corolla, and higher-end models for traffic police, including the Toyota Camry and Skoda Superb. The new procurement will exclusively involve four-door sedans, not SUVs currently in use.
Approximately 250 new patrol cars are expected to be acquired next year. These vehicles will have an annual mileage of around 70,000 kilometers, roughly five times that of a private passenger car. The selection criteria will include driving experience, assessed by police testers evaluating comfort and noise, and warranty duration.
Despite the availability of electric vehicles, the police have specified that the new cars must be powered by gasoline or diesel engines. The engines must have at least 200 horsepower, and the vehicles will be classified in license groups 5 or 6, indicating they will be high-end sedans similar to those used by the national traffic police.
Performance requirements include a minimum top speed of 220 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in under 7.5 seconds. The patrol cars will be delivered in white or black and equipped with active safety systems, such as adaptive cruise control.
