Wagoneer Goes From Family Hauler to Police Cruiser

Wagoneer COV

Back in the day, the Jeep Wagoneer was the quintessential American family SUV, and recently, it made a strong comeback. Now, Jeep is taking things up a notch with the Wagoneer Command Operations Vehicle (COV), transforming the familiar three-row SUV into a versatile tool for law enforcement and VIP transportation. This adaptation aims to compete with the likes of the Ford Police Interceptor Utility, offering a similar blend of power and practicality but in a more luxurious package.

Low-Profile Design

The Wagoneer COV looks almost identical to its standard sibling, keeping a low profile that’s perfect for stealth operations. The modifications are subtle yet effective; for instance, specialized red and blue lights are cleverly integrated into the grille and rear windows, only revealing their true function when needed.

  • Advanced lighting and electrical systems
  • Grille and side lighting
  • Rear upper window lightbar
  • Siren with multifunction capabilities

With these features, the Wagoneer COV is equipped to switch from a discrete ride to an active pursuit vehicle at a moment’s notice.

Power and Performance

Power is crucial in any emergency scenario, and the Wagoneer COV doesn’t disappoint. It’s powered by a robust 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged Hurricane inline-six engine, cranking out 420 horsepower. For context, this is 20 hp more than what the Ford Police Interceptor Utility’s EcoBoost engine can deliver. Despite its size and the extra equipment, it manages a 0-60 mph time in just 6.3 seconds, and it has a towing capacity of up to 10,000 pounds.

Additional features include a Quadra-Lift air suspension that automatically levels the rear load, enhancing both comfort and performance. Users can choose between different wheelbase options to suit various operational needs.

Interior and Safety

Inside, the Wagoneer COV is all about luxury and space. With room for eight, leather upholstery, and three-zone climate control, it ensures comfort during demanding missions. Best-in-class legroom in the back and cargo space up to 130 cubic feet mean there’s no skimping on utility.

Safety is paramount, and this vehicle features over 130 security and driver-assistance systems. Among these, features like a head-up display, night vision, and a surround-view camera system stand out. Tech such as automatic braking, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assist provides peace of mind, especially important when driving at high speeds.

The Wagoneer COV is set to be a significant player in the world of law enforcement and VIP transportation. With its rugged yet refined design, it fits well into Stellantis’s lineup alongside other law enforcement vehicles like the Dodge Durango Pursuit. Expect to see more of these on the road as they gain popularity with government agencies across the country.
