2024 MUSTANG MACH E GT | FIRST DRIVE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT receives a series of thoughtful updates aimed at enhancing its performance and appeal. The reviewer highlights that many features previously part of an optional performance package, such as upgraded brakes and seats, are now standard on the GT trim. A notable upgrade is the option to increase torque to 700 lb-ft via a software update, promising a 0-60 mph time of 3.3 seconds. The reviewer praises the vehicle's engaging driving dynamics, improved handling thanks to the standard MagnaRide suspension, and the sport-oriented seats. Practicality is also a strong point, with ample cargo space and comfortable rear seating. However, the lack of a heat pump is noted as a significant drawback for those in colder climates. While the interior design remains largely unchanged, the new bronze appearance package adds a distinctive touch. The reviewer concludes that the Mach-E GT offers a compelling balance of performance, practicality, and style, making it a strong contender in the electric SUV market, though its price competitiveness is impacted by the absence of the federal tax credit.
