FORD MUSTANG MACH-E FIRST DRIVE BY ELECTREK

EV Channels Review

Electrek's first drive of the Ford Mustang Mach-E highlights its aggressive styling and powerful performance, particularly the GT dual-motor version boasting 480 horsepower. The reviewer praises the vehicle's SUV-like higher driving position and spacious interior, complemented by a panoramic glass roof. Key features discussed include the extensive use of a central touchscreen for controls, Ford's first implementation of over-the-air software updates, and a unique physical volume dial. While acknowledging the range options (230-300 miles) and a significant battery buffer, the reviewer notes it's less efficient than comparable EVs like the Model Y. The driving experience is described as peppy and fun, with a low center of gravity contributing to a sporty feel despite its SUV form factor. A standout positive is the exceptionally smooth one-pedal driving system, which the reviewer considers the best experienced to date. The review concludes by promising a more in-depth analysis in a future full review.
