MACH-E GT DRIVING REVIEW! BIG IMPROVEMENTS SINCE LAUNCH BUT STILL ONLY 5 SECONDS OF FUN

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Non-Performance receives significant praise for its around-town driving improvements, particularly in one-pedal driving and brake pedal responsiveness, thanks to recent software updates. The reviewer finds these updates make the vehicle much more pleasant and less annoying for daily use, to the point of recommending it for everyday driving. However, the core disappointment lies in its performance capabilities. Despite its GT badging, the powertrain is identified as a major limitation, suffering from a severe five-second power cut and significant thermal throttling during spirited driving, even on a cool day. This drastically reduces acceleration and overall performance, making it feel no different from a standard all-wheel-drive Mach-E during extended hard driving. The reviewer strongly recommends the GT Performance trim over the standard GT for its superior suspension, brakes, wheels, and seats, suggesting the standard GT offers little advantage over the Extended Range AWD model for those not solely focused on initial 0-60 sprints.
