LIVING WITH THE 2021 FORD MUSTANG MACH-E | WHAT'S THE EV MUSTANG LIKE?

EV Channels Review

The reviewer spent a week with the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium AWD Extended Range, offering a unique perspective as a Mustang performance owner. The vehicle is described as a "pure electric crossover Mustang," a concept that elicits polarized reactions from the public, ranging from admiration to strong disapproval. Key highlights include the striking exterior styling, particularly the front end and Mustang-inspired tail lights, and a well-appointed interior featuring a large vertical touchscreen and a digital driver display. The reviewer found the practicality to be a significant plus, easily fitting a 5-foot ladder in the cargo area after folding the rear seats, deeming it the "most practical Mustang ever made." While acknowledging it's not the top-tier GT model, the all-wheel-drive performance is noted as "very smooth and still pretty quick." Real-world range appears to be slightly less than the EPA rating (229 miles observed on a full charge versus an estimated 270 miles for the AWD Extended Range), a discrepancy attributed to driving style and typical EV range variability. The reviewer ultimately concludes that the Mach-E is a "great EV" and an "absolutely" enjoyable daily driver, despite the controversial nature of an electric Mustang crossover.
