2021 FORD MUSTANG MACH E – LIVE DRIVE!

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium Extended Range AWD is reviewed as a competent electric crossover that, despite its sporty name, doesn't quite capture the Mustang's essence. Reviewers praise its comfortable ride, quiet cabin, and attractive styling, particularly the red paint and black accents. However, they criticize the rear design for looking like a "squished weird Mustang hybrid crossover." Practicality is decent, with good rear passenger room, but the high load floor and non-folding rear seats are noted drawbacks compared to competitors like the Tesla Model Y. The infotainment system, with its large vertical screen, is found to be less intuitive and more cumbersome than Tesla's horizontal display, requiring excessive scrolling. While the "Unbridled" driving mode offers spirited performance, the car is described as feeling heavy and less efficient than its rivals, with a noticeable delay in throttle response. The reviewer ultimately prefers the Tesla Model Y for its more refined EV experience, superior charging network, and overall efficiency, stating they would recommend the Mach-E to many but wouldn't personally choose it over competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, even at a normal price.
