2019 Ford Mustang Mach-E Electric SUV Earns The Right To Be A Mustang

The machine I sat in, which was formally introduced to the public Sunday night with much fanfare, was born in a moment of corporate soul-searching. The Mach-E is a small SUV, about the size of the Ford compact Escape, but it offers considerably more passenger space, thanks to an efficient architecture Ford developed to underpin a family of upcoming electric vehicles. The battery fits beneath the floor, pretty much filling the space between the axles. It鈥檒l have one or two electric motors, depending on whether you want rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. Each motor is mounted in the middle of the axle it powers, so there鈥檚 no engine under the hood. Combine that with an under-floor battery replacing the gas tank and no need for a center tunnel to connect the rear wheels and you have a surprisingly roomy passenger compartment for a sleek and sporty looking SUV. There鈥檚 plenty of headroom in the rear seat, thanks to a designers鈥?trick of the eye: Painting the roof black creates the impression of a fast-falling, coupe-like roofline and rear window without sacrificing rear headroom and luggage space. The flat floor contributes to plentiful rear legroom.

There鈥檚 29 cubic feet of storage behind the rear seats and 4.8 more - enough for a standard carry-on bag - under the hood. The total is a bit less than an Escape offers. In the front seat, I had more head and knee room than I ever expected in a Mustang. The controls include a big tablet-style touch screen for climate, audio, navigation and other features. A dial mounted low in the screen looks likely to control volume and several other functions. There鈥檚 no tuning dial. Ford promises this latest version of its Sync operating system will be the easiest to use, with better speech recognition, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and easy access to apps on your phone. The gauge cluster is a thin rectangle in front of the driver with largely digital displays. There are no round gauges, though it鈥檇 be easy enough to program the screen to provide them.
