WAS I WRONG ABOUT THE FORD MUSTANG MACH-E? FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The reviewer revisits the Ford Mustang Mach-e a year and a half after its initial release, admitting to being initially underwhelmed due to expectations of a V8-powered muscle car. This time, focusing on its merits as a practical family electric SUV, the reviewer finds the Mach-e to be a compelling proposition. Key positives include its striking styling, practical interior with decent boot space (401 liters plus a useful frunk with a drainage plug), and engaging driving dynamics, particularly the firm steering that provides good driver connection. Acceleration is highlighted as a strong point across all trims, with the GT model being exceptionally rapid. While charging speeds are considered 'lukewarm' for the standard range model (110 kW max), it can still add 56 miles in 10 minutes. Criticisms include the premium pricing (starting under £51,000), shared interior components with standard Fords, and a central console that intrudes on rear middle-seat legroom. Ultimately, the reviewer concludes that the Mach-e is a fun, practical, and competitive family electric SUV, regretting that Ford's initial marketing may have set the wrong expectations.
