EV Channels Review
The Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium AWD is revisited, addressing earlier pre-production concerns. The reviewer highlights its dual-motor AWD system, delivering 346 hp and 428 lb-ft of torque for a sub-5-second 0-60 time. While the "Whisper" drive mode offers impressive coasting, it presents a challenge at low speeds due to a lack of immediate deceleration, making the brakes feel "bitey" and jerky. The "Engage" and "Unbridled" modes, or one-pedal driving, are recommended solutions. The handling is praised for its sharpness and flatness in corners, offering a fun driving experience, though a GT trim offers more performance. The reviewer commends the "very good" autopilot system for its adeptness in complex construction zones. Interior highlights include comfortable, "squishy" seats, a well-integrated Bang & Olufsen sound system, and a functional, albeit Tesla-esque, large vertical touchscreen with always-accessible climate controls. Storage is practical, and the panoramic sunroof is a significant plus. Despite the "dumpster fire" of public charging infrastructure, the Mach-E is deemed a "fantastic way to spend 50 grand" for its overall driving dynamics and interior comfort.
