Live Reveal Of Ford Mustang Mach E

Live Reveal Of Ford Mustang Mach E





There seems to be a lot of hate around calling the Mach E a Mustang. Not a while ago I remember reading a thread on this very same subreddit about a 4 door Mustang where the sentiment was very positive. Is this really that far removed from a sedan? This vehicle is faster, more fuel efficient, and looks better than any non sports car Ford as ever built, and has the practicality of a large hatch in the rear. I don't understand what we are losing. I think the borrowed aesthetics from the Mustang carries over really well - much more than I was expecting when I heard my favorite line of cars was adding an SUV to the mix. I also think it's a smart move of Ford's part, where the main point of naming this EV a Mustang is to carry the desirability of the brand to compete with Tesla. Even as much hate as Tesla gets from this sub, they are a desirable object and increasing the "cool factor" of a vehicle to compete with them is a no brainer. Combining that with the fact that it is an SUV, I think we will see a ton of these on the road. This is also the first real competitor to a model 3/Y and I'm excited to see how the MachE stacks up with those vehicles in the market.





How much does the Ford Mustang Mach-E cost? 5,000. That's the model with 300 miles of range. 2,700 on top of that. It has a range of 270 miles. 52,400. It's a RWD model with the extended-range battery pack, so it has the full range of 300 miles. 60,500. The Performance Edition of the GT, the extremely potent Mach-E that has MagneRide suspension and hits 60 mph in a scant 3.5 seconds, is not priced yet, but we know it will be higher. 7,500 federal tax credit, and, unlike some other EVs, they will be sold in all 50 states. How do you order a Ford Mustang Mach-E? 500 deposit, can be made at Ford鈥檚 website, where interested buyers can spec out their Mustang Mach-E just how they鈥檇 like it. And by now, Ford may even have final pricing up on its site. Will the world accept an electric Mustang SUV?





A good question. While this new Mustang EV came as a total surprise and may offend the Mustang faithful who feel a 4-door electric SUV is completely antithetical to an internal-combustion pony car, it鈥檚 a bold move not without precedent. Remember when Porsche first built the Cayenne SUV? Fans of the 911 sports car were livid, claiming that an SUV polluted the brand. Now, though, strong SUV sales keep 911s rolling out the doors in Germany. Let鈥檚 also remember that Ford鈥檚 new electric SUV is far from a ponderous SUV of old. In contrast, it鈥檚 quick and immediately responsive, with a low center of gravity that translates to minimal body roll while cornering. How do we know the Mustang Mach-E has minimal body roll? You鈥檙e right; we haven鈥檛 driven the Mach-E yet. But we did ride in a camouflaged pre-production version during a recent special event at the Jet Center in Hawthorne, California. In a brief 5-minute ride (on the street and through a slalom set up on an airport taxiway), we came away impressed with the new electric Mustang SUV.





As with most EVs, the power is immediate, and you get planted in your seat with more force than you initially expect. And the electric Mustang SUV also stayed almost unnaturally flat in the slalom. All the while, the Mach-E was quiet inside, even though Ford pipes in a sound through the stereo to let us know that some motive force is at work here. Ford says the simulated powertrain sound, strangely not unlike that of a well-muffled V8, can be switched off. It isn鈥檛 even used at all in Whisper, one of the Mach-E Mustang鈥檚 three standard drive modes that alter the steering and overall responsiveness of the vehicle. What are the Mustang Mach-E鈥檚 three drive modes? In Whisper, the Mach-E is super smooth, and the drive experience is characterized by effortless gliding or coasting when you lift off the accelerator pedal. Regenerative braking is minimal. In Engaged, the most common drive mode, the simulated powertrain noise coming through at a seemingly natural level. A bit of regenerative braking makes the Mach-E feel more like a conventional car in lift-throttle situations. In Unbridled, the high-performance mode, the powertrain sounds are the loudest, but not to an objectionable level.
