THE 2021 FORD MUSTANG MACH-E GT IS AN ELECTRIC MUSCLE CAR

EV Channels Review

Doug DeMuro reviews the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT, positioning it as an electric muscle car. He highlights its significant performance upgrade over the standard Mach-E, boasting 480 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds (or 3.5 seconds with the optional Performance Package). While acknowledging its strong acceleration and impressive handling that rivals sports cars, DeMuro notes that the GT trim's exterior differentiation from the standard model is subtle. He praises the interior's sport seats and the useful gauge cluster screen, a key advantage over Tesla's Model 3/Y. However, he finds the GT's range (270 miles, dropping to 260 with the Performance Package) and 0-60 time slightly inferior to its closest competitor, the Tesla Model Y Performance. Despite these minor drawbacks, DeMuro concludes that the Mach-E GT offers a more engaging driving experience and better handling than the Model Y Performance, making it a compelling, albeit slightly less practical, choice for driving enthusiasts. He ultimately awards it a DougScore of 68/100, tying the Model Y Performance, and calls it one of the best all-around electric cars available.
