FORD MUSTANG MACH-E 2024 REVIEW: SELECT | LONG-TERM ELECTRIC CAR TEST OF KIA EV6 FAMILY SUV RIVAL

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E Select, after a three-month test, proves to be a compelling, characterful electric SUV that, despite its base trim, offers significant value and an engaging driving experience. While not a direct successor to the muscle car's spirit, it excels as a comfortable, quiet, and surprisingly fun-to-drive vehicle, particularly noted for its well-tuned steering and ride balance, striking a perfect compromise between performance and comfort. The reviewer highlights its spacious and comfortable interior, impressive real-world range (achieving close to its 470km WLTP claim), and laid-back safety systems as major positives. However, criticisms include the glossy exterior trim's tendency to get dirty, the sometimes laggy infotainment system, a lack of a three-pin power outlet, and a slightly smaller boot than some rivals. Ultimately, the Mach-E Select is praised for its unique character and driving dynamics, making it a preferred choice over competitors like the Kia EV6 for the reviewer, despite not being the most versatile or budget-friendly option in its segment.
