The New Leader of the Pack: What Makes the Ford Mustang Mach-E So Unique

You know a vehicle has some high expectations to live up to when it has the name “Mustang” attached to it. For many, the Ford Mustang is more than just a name; it is a pedigree, a legacy, and a term synonymous with the golden age of the muscle car. A vehicle that led the way in innovation, it’s only fitting that the Ford Mustang Mach-E continues this tradition in the age of the electric vehicle (EV).

The age of the all-electric vehicle has ushered in many contenders who all desire to wear the crown and be the leader of the pack. Ford has already proven itself on the cutting edge of this vehicle class, beating both Chevy and RAM to the punch with the introduction of the all-electric F-150 Lightning. The Mustang Mach-E takes the all-electric SUV to new heights of performance and sustainability and surpasses the expectations of drivers looking to go electric. If you’ve been considering a Ford Mustang Mach-E for sale, now is a great time to take advantage of this innovative EV. Strap yourselves in because we’re charging things up and feeling the surge of electricity like it’s never been felt before.

Bringing the Fastback Look Into the Future

Since its inception, the Mustang has brandished a unique look that allows it to stand out from the crowd and forge its distinctive identity. In an age where all SUVs are beginning to look identical to one another, the Mustang Mach-E honors its past by taking strong cues from its predecessors and repurposing them in such a way that pays homage to the world’s first pony car.

With its exterior design that harkens back to the days of the Mustang Mach I, complete with its racing stripes that were a step of the muscle car, the Mustang Mach-E brings that classic aesthetic into the modern age and embraces its lineage. Even the vehicle’s interior, with its classic logo embedded on the steering wheel, is a touch that salutes the glory days of the Mustang.

Exceptional Performance

Some people have a common misconception about EVs: while they allow drivers to circumvent unpredictable fuel costs, they need more speed and high performance than their gasoline-fueled counterparts. If history has taught us anything, Mustang and high performance are the perfect match for one another.

The GT trims of the Mustang Mach-E with AWD benefit from two electric motors providing power to all four wheels at once. This results in a powertrain with 480 hp and the capacity to generate 650 lb-ft of torque. Testing conducted by Car & Driver Magazine attested to this potency as the GT traveled from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 3.7 seconds, a feat that some V8 engines struggle with.

Juiced Up to Go the Distance

Having a vehicle with high performance is immensely enjoyable. If you’ve ever driven a car with a high-performance engine, then you know these experiences can be limited depending on how much gas you have in the tank. For those looking to take full advantage of the high performance of the Mustang Mach-E, you’ll be pleased to know that the range aspects are nothing short of impressive.

The Mustang Mach-E’s range varies depending on which battery pack you opt for. The Much-E has two different setups, a 72.0 kWh and a 91.0 kWh extended range setup. Selecting a Mach-E with RWD and the standard battery pack allows for 247 miles on a full charge, while the extended-range edition increases this number to an impressive 310 miles. Having AWD with an extended range setup allows for 290 miles, and even the potent GT trim allows for 270 miles of travel.

The estimates made by the EPA have been more than favorable regarding how much you have the potential to save. Over the course of five years, you can save anywhere from $4,500 to $5,250 compared to the average vehicle on the road. There’s also the potential to get an income tax rebate for choosing electric.

Technology for the Modern Driver

There’s no doubt that EVs are the future of the automotive market. Much more than just offering long ranges and the potential to safeguard the environment, many have technological attributes that many drivers gravitate toward. Like many other popular SUV designs, an infotainment system anchors the interior, and the Mach-E has one that’s truly remarkable.

Every Mach-E is equipped with a 15.5-inch infotainment screen that stands vertically and provides access to all the features that make any commute enjoyable. As is par for the course, compatibility with both Apple and Android devices is included, as is a mobile hotspot to maintain a stable connection, no matter where your travels might take you. The latest edition of Ford’s Sync software is included, and it also receives over-the-air updates to ensure that you always have the newest edition. If that weren’t enough, multiple profiles can be set, giving each driver in your household a unique and user-friendly experience. Available upgrades include a high-end stereo system from Bang & Olufsen and navigation.

Ford’s technology equipped the Mustang Mach-E with many standard and available safety features to enhance the experience behind the wheel and provide valuable oversight. Every Mach-E comes with Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, both essential for maximizing reaction during a potential collision. A Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Alert is also standard and provides oversight when it comes to backing out of crowded areas and ensuring that zones are clear during travel.

For drivers who want to further enrich the technological advances available in the modern era, Adaptive Cruise Control and Ford’s semi-autonomous driving program, Blue Cruise, are both available upgrades that further demonstrate the brand’s knack for innovation.
