Israel Police Tenders 250 New High-Performance Sedans for Fleet

The Israel Police is preparing to replace its senior sedan patrol fleet, as outlined in tender documents distributed to suppliers. The force currently operates both standard patrol sedans like the Toyota Corolla and senior models used by traffic police, such as the Toyota Camry and Skoda Superb. The new procurement focuses exclusively on four-door sedans, excluding SUVs.

According to police data, the current tender phase involves acquiring approximately 250 vehicles next year. These units are projected to cover an annual mileage of around 70,000 kilometers—roughly five times that of a privately owned passenger car. Vehicles will be evaluated based on criteria including driving experience, assessed by police test drivers for comfort and cabin noise, and warranty duration.

Despite the proliferation of electric vehicles on the market, the Israel Police emphasizes that the new cruisers will be powered exclusively by internal combustion engines running on gasoline or diesel. Engine output must be at least 200 horsepower, fitting into licensing groups 5 or 6, designating senior sedans. Performance requirements mandate a top speed of at least 220 km/h and an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in under 7.5 seconds.

The patrol vehicles will be supplied in white or black and must be equipped with active safety systems, including adaptive cruise control. This fleet renewal aims to maintain high operational capabilities for traffic enforcement and rapid response duties across the country.
