100% THOROUGHBRED? FORD MUSTANG MACH E GT PERFORMANCE, BLUECRUISE AND MORE!

EV Channels Review

The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance is presented as a "100% Thoroughbred" electric SUV, but the review suggests a nuanced verdict. While the GT Performance boasts impressive acceleration (3.5-second 0-60 mph) and exceptional handling on an autocross track, its "stiff" and "unyielding" ride on regular, bumpy roads makes it less suitable for everyday driving. The reviewer found the GT Performance "too troublesome" for normal roads, contrasting it with the regular GT, which offered a "better combination of power and refinement" and was deemed more suitable for most drivers. The Magneride suspension on the GT Performance is highlighted as a sophisticated technology, but its aggressive tuning is best suited for track use. The review also covers the BlueCruise hands-free driving system, which is described as "remarkable" and "very good" for reducing stress on long journeys, though it requires mapped roads, unlike some competitors. Ultimately, the GT Performance is positioned as a more extreme, track-focused variant, akin to a Model Y Performance, while the standard GT is recommended for a better balance of performance and comfort for the average consumer.
