Mustang Mach-E Review : The New Breed of Mustang

Mustang Mach-E Review : The New Breed of Mustang

Posted on July 20, 2020

Since its introduction in 1964, the Ford Mustang has been synonymous with class, speed, and sport. Ford has once again upped the ante with a new Mustang that no one has ever seen--or imagined--before. The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E is a four-door electric crossover that still emphasizes performance and technology.

The Ford Mustang is known as a two-door, V8-powered muscle car, so it is hard to imagine a four-door electric SUV bearing the same name. However, the Mustang's past, present, and future combine into a contemporary, stylish, and cutting-edge design that might just be the epitome of what 2021 has to offer.

Pricing - How much does it cost?

The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E is available in five different model types: Select, Premium, California Route 1, First Edition, and GT Performance Edition. The Select begins at $50,495, is available in rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) and comes with a slew of standard safety features with Ford Co-Pilot360 technology.

While all the details on the Mach-E have not yet been released, it is estimated to get over 355km on a charge and accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than six seconds.

The Premium starts at $59,495, adding in premium technology, increased wheel size (to 19 inches), and extending driving range to over 475 km. The California Route 1 model starts at $64,995 and only comes in RWD with an extended driving range of over 475 km. The First Edition model starts at $71,995 and is a limited edition. It features an exclusive body colour, unique interior stitching, and red brake calipers. The most expensive Mach-E model is the GT Performance Edition, which starts at $82,995. However, it earns every inch of its GT badge with 459 horsepower and 612 lb-ft of torque, which sends this rocket from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than four seconds.

Finance a Ford Mustang Mach-E

Engine - What's under the Hood

The 2021 Mustang Mach-E can be configured in two different ways: with a standard-range 75.7 kWh battery or an extended-range 98.8 kWh pack. These batteries feed an electric motor mounted on the rear axles (for RWD) or both axles (for AWD). Depending on the configuration chosen, the Mach-E has an estimated range of between 355km and 475km. Every model also has fast charging capability.

Interior - What's inside?

Technology is at the forefront of the Mustang Mach-E, which features a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and 15.5-inch touchscreen infotainment display. In addition, the Mach-E comes standard with Ford's Sync infotainment software, a wireless phone charging pad, navigation system, and phone as a key capability. The Mach-E offers 821 litres of cargo volume behind the second row, as well as an additional 136 cubic feet of capacity in the "frunk" (front truck) under the hood.

There is a lot of intrigue around the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E in Canada, and it is for good reason. This unique crossover is not just an SUV version of the most popular sports car ever made, it is also a completely electric car focused on cutting-edge technology and power. There has never been anything like it.
