FORD MUSTANG MACH-E REVIEW - THERE'S THE MACH-E PART AND THEN THE MUSTANG PART...

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium AWD Extended Range is presented as Ford's first full EV, aiming to blend family SUV practicality with a sporty image. Reviewers acknowledge the controversial Mustang badge on an electric SUV but find the vehicle to be a competent family hauler. The extended range battery offers a claimed 270 miles, though real-world testing suggests closer to 256 miles. Performance is described as lively due to instant electric torque, with 0-60 mph achieved in under 5 seconds, though the nearly 5000lb curb weight and eco-focused tires lead to understeer when pushed hard. The interior is praised for its comfortable seats and quiet cabin, outperforming the Tesla Model Y in noise levels. However, the large central touchscreen, occasional connectivity issues (CarPlay, wireless charging), and a cheap-feeling gear selector are noted as drawbacks. Despite the name controversy and some performance limitations due to weight, the Mach-E is considered a strong first effort from Ford, garnering significant public attention and interest.
