The Rundown
Ford continues its foray into the electric market, with the Mustang Mach-E. Many gas forward gearheads were offended by the addition of Mach-E to the pony name. However you feel about the new Mustang Mach-E, it really does not care, it’s here to look good and be fast, all with an electric battery. The Mustang Mach-E went into production in 2021 and since then it has been closing out its orders just like all of Ford’s recent electric vehicles. The Mach-E continually increases its range year after year and has some of the best acceleration in its class. While it may or may not yet live up to the Mustang name, the Mach-E handles just as nicely. The Mustang Mach-E is attractive on the road and has a good amount of range. This is one of the best EVs on the market, and the Mach E delivers at every turn.
What’s New in 2023?
The Mach E continues to improve on its range, and on the Premium the driving range has increased to 290 miles. On the Premium and GT trims, there is a new package that has been added for this year’s lineup, the Nite Pony. The Nite Pony package features different cosmetic changes for each of the Premium and GT trims. Two new colors have been added, Carbonized Gray Metallic and Vapor Blue Metallic. There is also now a panoramic glass roof that comes standard on various trim levels.
What Is the Range, Power and Handling?
The Mach-E has two power configurations, the first electric motor is a standard range battery pack with 70.0 kWh and the more powerful version has 91 kWh. The Mach-E comes with either AWD or RWD. The AWD version gets 480 horsepower and the RWD versions have either 266 or 346 horsepower. The suspension also has adaptive properties and can change the ride to have different firmness depending on traction. The range depends on which battery pack is selected, and whether you select AWD or RWD. The ranges, well, range from 224 to 312 miles. Each model has speed charging capabilities, and the Ford Charging station can be ordered online and installed by a professional electrician.
What Is the Interior of the Mach-E like?
The Mustang Mach-E might look like the traditional Mustang in maybe a couple ways on the exterior, just a couple, but the exterior is where the comparison ends for these two Mustangs. The interior of the Mach-E is much more oriented toward comfort and class. The technology cluster is sleek, and understated with only a few nobs because most controls are found in the massive screen in the center of the dash. This screen features some of Ford’s technology but with specific features for the Mustang EV. The dashboard has refined lines and the materials feel upscale, and with the Ford brand name, they are more likely to last longer than other unnamed EV manufacturers. The models that we have seen feature great contrast between the colors of the seats and the accents around the cabin.
Summary
The Mustang Mach-E is the EV of 2023, and Ford, the truck manufacturer of America, has begun to produce the premier electric vehicles and is setting standards across the industry. The Mustang Mach-E is quite possibly the best American made EV on the market, and its visible in its design, its palpable in the power of the electric motor. The Mustang Mach-E is your new EV in 2023.
