MUSTANG MACH-E 2021 REVIEW - AN EV THAT YOU ACTUALLY WANT!

EV Channels Review

The Ford Mustang Mach-E 2021 is presented as a stylish and premium electric SUV that aims to leverage the Mustang heritage. The reviewer praises its exterior design, particularly the coupe-like rear and Mustang-inspired front, and finds the interior quality to be superior to competitors like the VW ID.4, highlighting good materials and an interesting design with a large, responsive central screen. Rear passenger space is noted as exceptionally generous due to the long wheelbase and flat floor. However, the review points out several drawbacks: the standard 18-inch wheels look small, the boot space is less than rivals, and there are five "annoying features" including a hidden physical de-mist button, stiff interior door pulls, and an over-lubricated boot release. On the driving front, while acceleration is instant and handling is competent with minimal body lean, the steering feels slightly rubbery, and the ride can be firm and bouncy. The brakes also have an unnatural transition between regenerative and friction systems. Real-world range achieved was 247 miles from the 88kWh battery, significantly short of the claimed 379 miles. The verdict is to shortlist the Mach-E, acknowledging its premium feel and good looks but cautioning about its ride, handling, and range discrepancies.
