Ford Mustang Mach-E: Ford's brilliant electric car

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The Ford Mustang Mach-E might not be a Mustang in the traditional sense, but that shouldn't detract from the fact it's a truly excellent electric SUV. In this CarGurus UK review road tester and electric car expert Vicky Parrott puts the Mach-E through its paces and finds it to be a very strong performer in almost every area from practicality to performance. Could this be the car to convert you to electric motoring?
Read our full Ford Mustang Mach-E review:
www.cargurus.co.uk/Cars/2021-...
Pros
Very strong performance
Practical cabin
Impressive infotainment system
Cons
Not as much fun to drive as a Jaguar I-Pace
Firm ride
The interior could be better finished
The CarGurus verdict
The Ford Mustang Mach-E is a huge step forward for the brand, but more importantly it delivers a good balance of practicality, performance and sophistication, and all while sticking to Ford’s reputation for decent value. There are others that get closer to a true sporting experience, but the Mustang Mach-E still handles with enough engagement and agility that’ll make the long way home more than a little bit fun.
You might wish for a slightly plusher interior finish in parts, and better real-world efficiency (for a longer real-world range). But as an overall package, the Ford Mustang Mach-E is one of the most compelling and complete electric SUVs out there.

    I agree that £40k is WAY out of reach for the vast majority - but to say that 'all (EVs are) equally out of reach for standard families' is possibly not such a clear cut case. I'm not saying the following are ideal figures - merely a like-for-like type comparison... Most people now buy a new car on some form of PCP / lease finance package. Just as examples of potentially suitable family SUV transport - the Skoda Karoq 1.5 TSi DSG SEL SUV on 3 years / 5,000 miles per year / £2k deposit is about £215pm The Kia e-Niro SUV on 3 years / 5000 miles per year / £2,300 deposit is £260pm = a difference of £45pm. As 'typical school-run' cars, around town the Karoq does about 35mpg - over 5000 miles at roughly £5.30 unleaded = £63 petrol cost pm On top of that, Road Tax for the Karoq is £515 over the 3 years, whereas the e-Niro is £0. Finally, service charges are also considerably less for EVs, simply as there are so few 'consumables' to replace. So, on a monthly cost basis, EVs do stack up.

It's just when I hear £40k and £60k as good value, I scratch my head in wonder. Couldn't justify the cost of them, and wouldn't want to.

Going to like seeing these on the roads and I dare say will be seeing alot of them.

    Early models of the all-electric 2021 Mustang Mach-E have a battery issue that may leave owners struggling to start their vehicles despite its being fully charged, according to a technical service bulletin that Ford sent to federal regulators. ... The issue affects vehicles built on or before Feb. 3, Ford said. So far this Mustang Mach-E has been to the dealership for service to fix issues that the owners have found. Now the Ford dealer has told the owner that some of the problems are now “unfixable.” The Details Vehicles recalled: Roof: 13,544 Mustang Mach-E EVs built between Feb. 24, 2020, and July 18, 2021. Windshield: 17,692 Ford Mustang Mach-E EVs built between Feb. 24, 2020, and July 18, 2021. The problem: The panoramic glass roof panel and/or windshield may not have been properly installed, risking leaking and even detachment. The fix: Dealerships will apply additional urethane adhesive, then reinstall the roof panel or windshield. The repair will be done free of charge. Apr 9, 2021

    It would be very helpful if not only the maximum charging power is mentioned, but also which charging curve the car has. If you look at the results of other testers here, this is a big problem with the Mustang, the charging performance collapses very quickly and also falls very low, so that very little is left of the theoretical maximum range in everyday life. The rest is a matter of taste, I don't like it optically and you have to get used to the operation, as in every EV.

    £40K might seem 'cheap' vs i-Pace, EQC or E-tron but those cars are AWD and long range, so compare the long range AWD Mustang with them. At £60k the Mustang looks poor value compared with that competition as they are much more luxurious cars. Bottom line, Mustang is not an i-Pace/ECQ/E-tron competitor. In my opinion Mustang's competition is ID.4, Enyaq, Ioniq 5, Model Y and maybe E-niro / Kona.
