2021 FORD MUSTANG MACH-E GT PERFORMANCE EDITION - POV REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition is presented as a compelling, albeit pricey, performance EV. The reviewer highlights its luxurious and well-built interior, superior to many EV rivals, with premium materials and a user-friendly Sync 4A infotainment system. Driving dynamics are praised for their quick acceleration up to around 70-80 mph and impressive braking performance, with the MagneRide dampers offering a surprisingly soft yet capable ride. The reviewer notes the improved smoothness of the one-pedal driving and the effectiveness of the BlueCruise hands-free driving system. However, a significant drawback is the noticeable power drop-off at highway speeds, which diminishes the 'GT' performance feel compared to the standard GT. The reviewer also points out the car's considerable weight and the intervention of stability systems at the limit, suggesting it feels like the systems are fighting the mass. While enjoyable and a strong contender against rivals like the Tesla Model Y Performance, the $70,000 price point (before tax credits) is considered steep for the incremental performance gains over lesser Mach-E trims.
