2023 MUSTANG MACH-E CALIFORNIA ROUTE 1 REVIEW - THE ONE TO GET FOR RANGE!

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E California Route 1 is highlighted as the range champion among Mach-E trims, offering an impressive 312 miles of estimated range. This extended range is primarily attributed to its smaller, aero-covered 18-inch wheels, a key differentiator from other models. While it sacrifices some premium features found in the Premium and GT trims, such as the B&O sound system, upgraded seats, and a powered liftgate, the California Route 1 offers significant value. The reviewer praises its comfortable ride, excellent HVAC system, and the standard glass roof. The updated BlueCruise 1.2 system, with features like in-lane repositioning and auto lane changes, is also a major plus, though not exclusive to this trim. The manual passenger seat and rear liftgate are noted as minor drawbacks that contribute to its more accessible price point. Ultimately, the California Route 1 is positioned as the best bang for your buck for those prioritizing maximum range and AWD capability.
