City spends $157K on two gas-guzzling SUVs to escort Mayor Adams, other top officials

The city paid big bucks for two posh, gas-guzzling new SUVs to escort Mayor Eric Adams and other top officials around town — even though the bike-boosting pol once vowed to pedal to work “all the time.”

City Hall added a gleaming black Lincoln Navigator with tricked-out rims and a Chevrolet Suburban High Country with 420 horsepower to its fleet of department cars, for a  combined total of at least $157,000, The Post has learned.

Adams’ gets carted around daily in the High Country, which has an abysmal gas mileage of just 14 mpg in the city.

The pollution-spewing Navigator — which the biggest and most luxurious model made by Ford — meanwhile tallies 16 mpg.

Adams’ road-hogging new whip flies in the face of a campaign promise he made to frequently bicycle to work to help improve street safety.

“If elected, you’re going to see me on my bike all the time riding to and from City Hall in a real way,” Adams told reporters in October 2021 — after earning an endorsement from the safe streets group StreetsPAC.

“I think if people start seeing their mayor on a bike, they’d be more encouraged to know that the streets are safe to ride their bikes,” he added.

Reporters, however, haven’t seen Adams on a two-wheeler near City Hall at all in recent months.

A 2023 Lincoln Navigator has a starting price of $79,725 before taxes and fees while the Chevrolet Suburban High Country costs at least $77,400.

But massive monochromatic rims on the city’s Lincoln Navigator are typically reserved for an optional upscale package — bringing the suggested manufacturer’s price tag to as high as $95,325 before taxes and dealer fees.

By contrast, former Mayor Bill de Blasio was escorted around in a $45,000 on Chrysler Pacifica van, which gets 18 miles per gallon, during the last two years of his administration.

De Blasio came under fire for trips to the YMCA gym in Park Slope, which required a motorcade of gas-guzzling SUVs to shuttle him between boroughs.

City Hall didn’t immediately return a request for comment Wednesday.
