What are the Exclusive Features of Armored Limos?

Basically, armored limousines are exotic vehicles that are fabricated with the CEN ballistic protection standards (CEN B4, CEN B6, CEN B7) to ensure greater safety to passengers from armor piercing bullets, IED attacks, fragmentation and blast mitigation threats. Their door and window apertures are fitted with ballistic glass and the body panels are incorporated with layers of steel armor plate to provide ultimate protection to the occupants during ballistic incidents. The armored limousines have semi-rigid armor plates mounted inside the vehicle to create a protective boundary for unseen dangers on the road. They look like standard limos but are finely armored to survive the bomb blasts, hand grenade attacks and multiple gunshots.

The USA president’s armored car is the best example of all exclusive features that come included with armored limos. From armor plated doors and fuel tank to sophisticated communication devices, many useful and invaluable features are built in the armored limousines to provide protection and comfort to diplomats, royals, business tycoons, celebrities and other high-profile individuals and their families.

Whether you are seeking armored limousines or armored SUVs, there are many expert coach builders in the market to cover you with a wide range of features that can offer more confidence and safety. A finely-built, custom armored limo can make a big difference when it comes to passenger safety. So, we have discussed below about a few exclusive features that custom limo builders can incorporate to make your ride safe in armored vehicles.  

1.    Ballistic glass
The curved ballistic glass made of soft and hard types of glass is used in the window screen, rear bulkhead, rear quarter panel and passenger doors for ensuring the best level of protection. This glass can survive even when hit with a forcefully coming bullet or a weapon like a hand grenade instead of getting delaminated or distorted.

2.    Bullet proof armor
All armored limousines have their roof, doors, fire wall and side walls protected with bullet proof armor. These premium quality and heavy duty steel armor plates make armored vehicles safe from serious dangers on the road that would severely damage the doors or the undercarriage of the limo.

3.    Protective fuel tanks
The non-exploding, shrapnel protected and Aramid fibre material coated fuel tanks are used in armored limos. These fuel tanks are available with the best level of of ballistic protection to avoid the risk of fuel leakage, fire breakouts and explosions in armored limousines.

4.    Bead Locks and runflat systems
The tires of limos are the most susceptible part which can be a prime target for terrorists or attackers looking to make the vehicle immobilized To help the limousine passengers escape at great speed or arrive at a safe place even with one or more flat tires,  custom builders include bead lock protection and systems. Runflat tire inserts are made mostly bullet proof, provide added protection to the limo and its occupants, sustain mobility over any difficult terrain and run at high speeds.

Few executive vehicles have been in performance over 4 generations. Many Cadillac Escalade users see it as a mark of elegance and success; others consider it as an image of superiority. In executive Escalade’s third generation model (2007-2014) Cadillac tried to revise the product line by providing a smaller 472ci V8 engine and a hybrid model of the executive SUV. However, the 4th generation Escalade model gets a re-designed platform, a bigger and better 6.2-liter V8 engine, new interior and exterior styling, and a bold, and unapologetic attitude. The standard rear wheel drive models of Cadillac Escalade begins at $72,690 which may cost extra and can even go up to $86,790 for the Escalade ESV’s premium collection of 4-wheel drive models, with additional cost options and destination charges.

Believe it or not the Cadillac Escalade ESV has been popular in the executive community for its bold, meaningful design, its big size, its deluxe interior and its strong V8 engine.

Every seat and instrument panel is made of the finest class leather and many more things such as improved taillights and headlights, and moderately sized storage compartments are included for giving the Cadillac Escalade an aesthetic touch. Just like its earlier models, the most recent model of Escalade is based on the platform of Chevy Tahoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon.

The interior of this sports utility vehicle was also substantially modernized last year. Not only is the interior given a revised look, but also equipped with a range of new equipments, both optional and standard and optional. Though the 6.2-liter V8 engine is still there but it now produces 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque.
