The Dubai Police have presented to the public its latest addition to its luxury patrol fleet in order to keep the streets in the emirate safe.
In a report on the National, the new unit is the 2021 model Genesis GV80, part of Hyundai’s premium brand of vehicles. The vehicle packs plenty of power and will improve the police patrol in Dubai.
The unit has a standard turbocharged four-cylinder or twin-turbo 3.5 litre V6 engine. This would help policemen to easily keep up with law violators.

“The force aimed to secure the most efficient, flexible and up-to-date models of vehicles to assist in protecting the public,” Brig Mohammad Al Razooqi, director of transport and rescue at Dubai Police said.
“We are constantly looking for ways to connect with the public. The increase of high-powered supercars to the department’s fleet is due to the positive feedback from citizens and the media,” he added.
