THE NEW 2022 FORD MUSTANG MACH-E GT IS THE ALL ELECTRIC SPORTS CAR YOU DIDN'T KNOW EXISTS

EV Channels Review

The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT is presented as an electric sports car, though its "Mustang" designation remains a point of contention for the reviewers due to its distinct styling and crossover form factor. The GT trim, while not the absolute top-tier, is highlighted as the performance variant. Positives include its quick 0-60 time (achieving 4.71 seconds with three adults onboard, despite Ford's claimed 3.8 seconds), a generally good choice of interior materials, functional heated seats and steering wheel, and a useful volume knob. The sequential turn signals and the clever frunk design with a drain and can holder are also noted. However, significant drawbacks are raised: the ride quality is described as harsh and bumpy, especially on rough roads, even in "whisper" mode, and it's considered less comfortable than competitors like the Model Y. The infotainment system is criticized for being overly complex and unintuitive, particularly for climate controls and station selection, requiring too many steps and causing distraction while driving. Rear-seat space is deemed a bit claustrophobic. The reviewer also points out perceived cost-cutting in areas like the rear plastic cut lines. Despite its performance, the high price point for the GT AWD model ($64,000) and the ride/infotainment issues lead to a "Lease It" recommendation, advising against buying yesterday's tech due to rapid battery advancements and current vehicle availability challenges.
