2022 FORD MUSTANG MACH-E GT PERFORMANCE EDITION REVIEW WITH BLUECRUISE TEST

EV Channels Review

The 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition is lauded for its surprising handling capabilities and engaging driving dynamics, which extend beyond mere straight-line speed. The reviewer highlights its sticky road-holding, attributed to Pirelli P0 tires and adaptive dampers, making it a joy on winding roads. While acknowledging its premium price point, the review positions it as a compelling alternative to much more expensive performance EVs like the Porsche Taycan, offering similar acceleration for significantly less cost. The "Unbridled" drive mode is praised for transforming the vehicle into a "monster" with tightened steering and an immersive cabin sound. However, the Mach-E GT Performance Edition falls short in terms of charging speed, with DC fast charging maxing out at 150 kW, significantly slower than competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6. Range is also a concern, with the reviewer experiencing around 370 km instead of the claimed 418 km. Additionally, the lack of certain features like ventilated front seats and heated rear seats in a vehicle of this price is noted as a disappointment, as is the reliance on a touchscreen for most controls. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer concludes that the Mach-E GT Performance Edition successfully delivers on its Mustang GT name, offering a unique blend of performance and everyday usability, particularly for those prioritizing driving engagement over maximum range.
