2019 Ford Mustang Mach-E Paint And Interior Colors

The Ford Mustang Mach-E officially arrived on the scene last night, and the configurator is already up and running. It鈥檚 a relatively robust builder on Ford鈥檚 site now, though there are no selectable options yet. Still, it gives us the opportunity to see the differences between the five available trims, exterior colors and interior upholstery options in photos. The gallery below shows the seven exterior paint colors on the base Select trim. 400). All of those colors can be had on the Select, Premium, California RT.1 Edition and GT trims. Grabber Blue Metallic (color option number eight) is available on the First Edition trim, and while it鈥檚 not listed in the configurator, Ford rolled out a Grabber Blue GT Performance Edition on the stage last night. The 鈥淧erformance Edition鈥?ramps performance up even higher than the base GT, but we don鈥檛 know its full color palette for the time being.

It is great to see that Grabber Blue will be available on more than just the limited-production First Edition. Another comparison we can make concerns the differences in appearance between the trims. All five trims can be seen in the optional red paint in the gallery below. The trims show up in this order in the gallery: Select, Premium, California RT.1 Edition, First Edition and GT. The most obvious differences here are the wheels. Each trim has a different aluminum wheel design as standard 鈥?the only wheel that鈥檚 used twice is on the First Edition, which shares its 19-inch wheels with the Premium trim. It鈥檚 also worth noting that the 18-inch wheels on the California RT.1 Edition are covered by aero inserts to maximize range. We imagine different wheel options may pop up on the configurator eventually, but this is what we get for the time being. There isn鈥檛 a major difference in appearances amongst the trims when it comes to body design, except when we get to the GT.

When it comes to the interior, there鈥檚 even less choice. The base Select trim is only available in Black Onyx ActiveX seats. The only other color available necessitates a step up to the Premium trim, making Light Space Gray Perforated ActiveX seats an option. It looks like a light gray/black two-tone interior in photos. Only the Premium trim is available in this two-tone interior option. There are a few more slightly interesting interiors available, as well. The GT comes with the Black Onyx seats, including what it calls 鈥淢iko inserts鈥?in the seats. It鈥檚 essentially cloth with a suede-like feel to it for better grip. Adding a bit more pizazz, the GT also comes with Copper Metallic stitching as standard. The last couple interiors are the only ones available on the First Edition. Ford combines the Black Onyx interior with either red ST-Line stitching or Grabber Blue stitching. As of today, we鈥檙e still a long ways out from seeing the Mustang Mach-E on the road in production guise.

7,500 federal tax credit is taken advantage of. 7,500 tax credit with that car anymore. The Model Y is on track to be a fair bit more expensive than the Model 3, making the Mach-E even more enticing. If you want more than 210 miles of range, you鈥檒l have to pay for it. All of these trims are still cheaper than the Audi, Jaguar and Polestar, making it a relative performance bargain. The interior isn鈥檛 as nice as the luxury cars鈥?interiors, but it still looks like a fresh and modern place to be in. It鈥檒l be up to folks shopping to choose what their priorities are in an electric crossover. From a performance perspective, the Ford is either on-par or better than many of the more expensive luxury crossovers. There鈥檚 no doubt the Audi, Jaguar and Polestar have nicer interiors than the Ford in terms of materials used and quality, but the Ford has the utility. It鈥檚 a tough fight, truthfully. Go ahead and hate the Mustang crossover for its name or its styling. But it鈥檚 impossible to take anything away from the car鈥檚 performance chops as an electric crossover. We鈥檙e excited to slide behind the wheel to see if it鈥檚 able to do the Mustang name proud.

The 1970 Cougar Eliminator may not have been as popular as its Mach One Mustang cousin, but it was just as muscular. One of the most unique automotive markets of the 1960s was the pony car segment. Named for the first of the breed, Ford鈥檚 1964 陆 Mustang, the cars competing for consumer attention all had the same 鈥渓ong hood/short deck鈥?profile established by the Mustang. At the height of the market, the pony car segment accounted for almost 10 percent of automotive sales. It was an important and lucrative part of Detroit鈥檚 product lineup. Consequently, every carmaker, except Cadillac and Lincoln, had fielded a pony car by the late 1960s. Aside from the Plymouth Barracuda, Ford owned the market until 1967 when Chevrolet and Pontiac launched Camaro and Firebird. It wasn鈥檛 only arch rival GM that entered the pony car wars in 鈥?7, Ford management decided that corporate cousin Mercury should get a piece of the action as well. That decision launched the Mercury Cougar - an upscale version of the Mustang that came standard with hidden headlamps and sequential tail lamps, more luxurious interior appointments and styling. Overall, Cougar shared virtually nothing with the Mustang.
