THE 2024 FORD MUSTANG MACH E GT IS A WILDLY UPGRADED GREEN PERFORMANCE SUV

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT receives a significant performance upgrade, primarily due to a new in-house developed rear electric motor borrowed from the F-150 Lightning. This enhancement addresses the previous model's power limitations, particularly the 'prison bars' that restricted acceleration. The GT now boasts 480 horsepower and up to 700 lb-ft of torque with the performance upgrade package, enabling 0-60 mph times as low as 3.3 seconds (though testing yielded closer to 3.7-3.8 seconds). The reviewer highlights the improved acceleration, the standard inclusion of MagneRide dampers and Brembo brakes on GT models, and the refined one-pedal driving experience. While the styling remains a strong point, the interior, though premium, lacks ventilated seats. Range is improved, with the GT achieving an estimated 280 miles. Overall, the reviewer concludes that Ford has finally made the Mach-E GT worthy of its performance badge, offering a compelling, albeit still not class-leading, electric performance SUV.
