Executive SUVs

The use of civilian armored vehicles for executive protection has become a strategic necessity due to increasing global instability, urban crime, and targeted threats against executives. Armored SUVs are now considered a “must-have” for executives and high-net-worth individuals, especially those in high-risk and volatile regions.

Popular armored SUVs for executives include the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, the Land Rover Range Rover, and the Lincoln Navigator. Private security companies often use these bulletproof SUVs to chauffeur executives and VIPs due to their blend of luxury, spaciousness, and advanced features tailored for professional and high-profile use.

Ultra-high-risk areas, such as conflict zones and regions with political instability, require armored SUVs for extreme security.

Should You Buy New or Used?

When considering the purchase of an armored SUV, one must consider the pros and cons of buying a new armored vehicle versus a pre-owned one. Both options are a wise investment when it comes to personal security, but there are several key considerations to keep in mind, including budget and price, customization options, level of technology, warranties, maintenance costs, and availability.

Why Choose New SUV Builds?

A new armored SUV is a significant investment in peace of mind and financially. When reliability, modern tech, and features are a priority, buying a new armored vehicle is recommended. New SUVs come with the latest technology and advanced safety features, manufacturer factory warranties and armoring warranties, and increased reliability. Plus, you have your choice of specific makes and models, as well as color and trim levels.

Alpine Armoring offers complete customization options when choosing a new build, including the desired armoring protection level, as well as optional advanced communication and electronic systems, such as sirens, LED lights, camera systems, and more.

It is important to keep in mind that when purchasing a new armored SUV, it can take anywhere from four to six months, depending on the chassis and the complexity of the armoring. Alpine Armoring helps mitigate the time factor by offering a large selection of in-stock, newly armored SUVs for sale, available for immediate delivery.

Are Used SUVs Worth Considering?

If a higher-end model at a lower price is a priority, consider purchasing a pre-owned armored SUV. A pre-owned armored vehicle can save you anywhere from 20% to 40% off the cost of a brand-new one, and it will be available immediately. Typically, armored vehicles aren’t driven that much, so they usually have very low mileage, even after several years of use.

While used armored SUV for sale offer lower-cost alternatives, the main disadvantage of purchasing a pre-owned armored SUV is outdated technology, older safety features, and expired warranties, both manufacturer and ballistic armoring. There are also risks, including an unknown maintenance history and modifications made since the original armoring. It is also recommended to have the SUV inspected by a certified mechanic who understands the complexities associated with an armored vehicle.

What Makes Alpine's SUV Protection Special?

Alpine Armoring leads the industry in providing clients with the highest level of protection and sophistication without compromising our core values of protection, quality, and reliability. Our commitment to quality and service sets the standard for others to follow. Unlike others in the industry, Alpine frequently conducts both third-party and in-house live-fire NIJ certification testing on opaque and transparent ballistic materials using various firearms to determine the number of rounds, at what angles, and the grain/weight of the round it takes before penetration occurs.

How Strong Is the Protection?

Using the latest innovations in engineering and manufacturing, Alpine Armoring integrates certified opaque and transparent ballistic materials to meet specific lifestyle and security needs. The standard armoring package includes hardened ballistic steel surrounding the passenger cabin area. All vertical areas, sides, and roof are lined with certified ballistic steel to protect against threats from any angle. Doors are lined with lighter ballistic composite armoring material and include Alpine’s door overlap system.

Alpine’s multi-layered approach to provide 360-degree protection also includes ballistic steel lining the firewall, fuel tanks, and battery & computer module compartments. All original glass has been replaced with certified, tested, multi-layered ballistic glass that can range in thickness from 1.5” to 3”, depending on the requested protection level. Additional standard features include a reinforced suspension and a high-grade run-flat tire system.

What Comfort Features Are Included?

Alpine’s armored SUVs offer protection without sacrificing comfort or style, ensuring both safety and sophistication. Our armoring process preserves all original family-centric features, ensuring that child seat integration, rear-seat infotainment systems, and other amenities remain functional, while adding heavy-duty actuators that allow windows to roll down almost entirely on specific SUV models.

What Security Options Are Available?

Aside from the physical protection, Alpine Armoring’s SUVs incorporate cutting-edge technology and upgrades such as real-time GPS trackers, 360° surveillance cameras, emergency communication systems, LED strobe lights, anti-sabotage exhaust protection, electric door shock systems, even smoke screens and loud alarms.

Can Alpine Deliver Worldwide?

Alpine Armoring proudly offers worldwide delivery. Using vetted freight forwarders, Alpine has shipped armored vehicles worldwide, including South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Most vehicles are shipped via ocean freight in 20ft and 40ft containers, keeping your newly armored SUV secure and protected from the elements.

Depending on the final destination, ocean freight delivery times can range from 30 to 90 days, barring any unforeseen global interruptions. For faster international shipments, air cargo is recommended, with delivery times ranging from one to three weeks. For more detailed information about our shipping options, visit our shipping and logistics page.

How Does International Shipping Work?

The export of certain armored vehicles is subject to United States Export Guidelines, including those from the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. State Department. Alpine Armoring reviews information about our customers planning to export armored SUVs by cross-checking with the "Consolidated Screening List" accessed via the BIS website to confirm and validate that the customer/end-user is not:

• In a Restricted Country (i.e., on the Nonproliferation Sanction list)
• On the Denied list
• On the Debarred List (i.e., not allowed to order defense articles)
• On the Specially Designated Nationals List

Alpine’s logistics team provides the customer with the final Bill of Lading (BOL) from the freight carrier and all other necessary vehicle paperwork before the vehicle arrives at the final destination port. The BOL has been professionally prepared by our expert freight forwarders, ensuring that the proper codes for your armored vehicle have been applied. Customs laws and regulations vary for each country, so we suggest our customers handle the import; however, we are happy to help and guide you through the process of importing your vehicle.

How Can You Finance Your Armored SUV?

Although Alpine Armoring does not offer direct financing, it can help connect you with banks, lenders, and credit unions of your choice. If you are interested in purchasing one of our in-stock SUVs for sale, please note that full payment must be made via wire transfer before you can take ownership. This way, we can ensure that payment is quick and secure for SUVs that are available right away.

Traditional Financing

Due to the bespoke nature and higher costs than a standard SUV, financing through a specialty bank or credit union allows you to purchase your new armored SUV with fixed monthly payments. There are stricter credit requirements, with higher interest rates that can range from 5% to 10%, depending on the total loan amount and the age of the vehicle.

Traditional financing is best suited for high-profile buyers. Alpine Armoring's lender network streamlines approval processes while securing favorable terms for qualified buyers through comprehensive payment plans.

Alpine Payment Plans

The payment plan at Alpine Armoring requires a 50% deposit at the time of order placement, with the remaining balance due before shipping. Separate payments help manage cash flow for custom armoring projects that require extended timelines.

In some cases, Alpine’s trade-in program allows for offsetting the value of an existing vehicle against new armoring costs. These specialized payment arrangements are best for families and organizational buyers with complex financial structures.
