Great review. I drive hwy 17 in the Santa Cruz mountains and my premium Mach-e handles great! I love the way it drives. It handles almost as well as my 2012 Mazda Miata. I’m surprised you didn’t mention the different drive settings on the Mach-e . I stick with “engage”

The Mach E is inspired heavily by the Ford Evos concept model that was displayed around 2010. Ford used a lot of styling cues from that concept in recent years, but the Mach E is the closest thing you’ll see.

@@BUNKERPT I rarely put the effort in to slamming idiots, but you hit me on a bad day. First, get over your caps lock ego and try actually listening to the review and not what you think you know. Like the fact that this is the North American -- specifically US release. 1. None of the US based reviewers have been able to get the ID4 onboard route planner to filter for charging rates. None. 2. VW's Travel Assist (Semi-Automated Driving Assistance) is not autonomous driving. Its Lane Keep Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control, Ford does that, everyone offers that these days. The Ford System that he clearly said isn't available yet, is like GM's SuperCruise which allows hands off driving on mapped roads. He clearly pointed that out and you chose to ignore it. Directly from VW's US Press Kit, "Travel Assist enables Level 2 partially-automated hands-on driving from 0 to 95 mph." 3. The VW ID4 as currently available in the US does NOT have auto brake hold. VW says it will come later. They said it will be in a software update. Again, this is a US based reviewer, doing a review with a North America/US model. Several reviewers have actually taken video of the grayed-out/unavailable auto-brake hold button on the screen. 4. The VW ID4 sold in the United States does NOT have a heat pump. VW installed resistive heating to get the price down. Canadian models have a heat pump, and maybe VW will offer it as an option in the US for colder climates, but the US models do NOT have a heat pump. 5. Of course the ID4 comes with an EVSE, it comes with a US-standard 110 volt EVSE while the Ford comes with one that can do either 110 volt or 220 volt. That is what he mentioned at the end, if you wanted to have an EVSE in the car that supported 220 volt, you'd need to buy one. Your statement really made it obvious that you aren't in the US. 6. The VW ID4 supports over-the-air updates; but a lot of the press cars don't have the most current software installed which supports it. Apparently the US software release 2.1, build 0792 is required to support over-the-air updates; however none have been pushed out. Reviewers can only state what they know, based on the vehicles they've been supplied by the manufacturer. Calling Alex on Autos biased has got to be the funniest, most inane, thing I've ever heard. Alex and his team do a thousand times the research before making these videos that anybody out there except perhaps Engineering Explained- who focuses, almost to the detriment of the rest of the review, on the mechanics of the vehicle. Alex has now purchased 3 vehicles for long term review, the first was a base Tesla Model 3, then a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, and now the Mustang Mach-E. He'll compare the Mach-E to just about every 'similar' vehicle out there while he owns it because it is on hand. But to say he's biased towards it? Certainly not. The ID4, as it was delivered in the US, is not quite there. Maybe people the US expect more from their new cars?

In BC Canada here. Our version comes with a heat pump! Also a heated windshield. ID 4 all the way!

Lack if ID 4 frunk is because VW moved all the HVAC components out of the cabin area . Giving more interior space

I tested a Mach-e Premium last weekend from my local Ford dealer. I called the salesman ahead to schedule it. He was working from home. My son and I arrived, I talked to the receptionist, she handed me the keys and pointed to the car. Did not even check my DL,credit, or send a salesman with me. They did not limit my time. We took it for an hour. It probably helped that I bought my Ford Edge from them 5 years ago (my first Ford). We have an excellent local Ford dealer (Anderson Ford). The nearest Tesla dealer is an hour away. My son owns a brand new Tesla Y performance edition which we arrived in and parked in front of the showroom. so i test drove both cars the same day. I am conflicted. I have a reservation in for a GT right now. I like many things better on the Tesla. Build quality on my son's Tesla is excellent but he waited for that to improve and took delivery on Dec 31st 2020. I'll probably go with the Mach-e GT at this point. But when Tesla gets the tax credit back, I might reconsider. Sorry for not being specific with details but I would have to write a full review to cover all the different things i like best on each car and don't have time while reading this at work.

thanks Alex for the honest review. Questions for you... looking at the rwd mach e... I live in a congestion traffic place where sometimes I might need to dart out in inclement weather. One concern I have is if I will be fish tailing with the mach e. I know on the review you said you thought mache e was a little less stable or loose. Have you had any problems darting out in snow or rain in your driving experience with either of these vehicles? Also curious how well the quick stopping is in that weather as well. I own a Chevy volt and a couple of times it has engaged the break stopping program in snow when I wasn't even sliding way too quickly and almost ended up in accidents. I find that a flaw in my volt. How was the mach e or the id.4 with that?

Gotta agree with some of the other posts here. That's an EXCELLENT review.

Alex Great Comparison! But I would really like is if you could get a video comparison of what it would cost maintenance wise ? Ev to Ev and EV to Combustion engine?

Thanks for the comparison. I would like to know about the lower back support in both of these cars, my wife has a lower back issue and good support is a must, also I would like to know about the headlights, are they any good? Living in northern WI I wonder if either are going to handle the cold weather better than something else..

Tow rating is "0" because they want you to get the F150

I think the difference is that the Ford Mach-E is made for the American market, it is not very common to have a tow hitch on normal cars in USA but the VW is made for the European market and it is very common with a tow hitch in Europe.

I read someplace that the European version has tow capability. I'm not sure why the US version doesn't, other than they wanted to buy an F-150, LOL

amazing video. thanks, Alex! do you think those new tires might make you stick with the Ford a little bit longer?

Give comparison. I took the Mach E out twice and the front seat had my leg digging into the center console and the sate was marginally comfortable. The low ground clearance meant it does not clear the peak coming out of my driveway. I fine the ride a little twitchy, but the Sync 4 was awesome and the power on demand of AWD was like a rocket. I have a deposit on the ID.4 AWD Pro S and hopefully will have it by June.

Great review. However, I was wondering if you lowered the trunk floor to its lowest setting before adding your bags?

Thank you so much for this match! Can't wait for the 2 new Koreans too!

"...The Mach-E "has this angry handlebar mustache going on..." Now I have to clean the coffee I spit up all over my screen! As usual, a tremendously informative review. I have to say if I were seriously in the market I'd have to pull out a spreadsheet and go slowly through the video to construct a point-by-point checklist to make a decision. As a GTI owner living in Washington State I tend to prioritize handling over straight line acceleration so my ultimate preference might go to the ID.4. But I'm very impressed by the job Ford has done in the initial incarnation of the Mach-E. Frankly, I didn't think they had it in 'em. Of course the elephant in the room is Tesla. And I have tremendous respect for Musk & Co's efforts to design and build not only several compelling automobiles but the even more challenging job of successfully building an automotive manufacturer from scratch. No one else has managed to do that in America since well before WWII. (e.g. noble failures like Kaiser and Tucker.) But while pioneers are deservedly lauded they're frequently long term failures. (e.g. Nikola Tesla.) The jury's still out on Tesla's challenges in terms of fit/finish and building a service and repair network to match mainstream manufacturers like Ford and VW. I wish Tesla the best of luck but many consumers are likely to opt for more familiar nameplates. And ultimately the future of EVs is in the hands of those automakers.

Mainstream manufacturers have the advantage of making EVs that are much less weird to own and operate and do not project the cultish image of an Elon stan. I did not even consider Tesla when EV shopping because of the brand image, the lack of Carplay, the build quality, the awful soft paint that makes PPF mandatory (assuming the car is completely painted at all), and the unpredictable performance in terms of range and power that only meets advertised specs under very specific circumstances. And that's not even talking about $10,000 in tax credits where I live.

@@BUNKERPT is that slated foe the U.S.? Seems like all of thr reviews so far are German versions and not U.S.

Great comparison, thanks! The ID4 in Canada only has 6.3 inches of ground clearance, I wonder why it's so much less than the US version at 8.2 inches? Canada gets the heat pump standard so for the price it's by far the best deal going. $45k CAD for ID 4, $70k for Y and over $50k for the mach-e with a smaller battery, before delivery fees or incentives. The ford and the vw both qualify for $8k in rebait in BC so the ID4 is a serious winner north of the 49th parallel! Our biggest issue is lack of charger that these two cars can take advantage of. Most charger off the TransCanada Highway are only 50kw!!!

Thanks for sharing. Hope you're enjoying your Mustang (for a few more months anyway) That said, what's the connection/who provided the VW.... any exchange? Pls be sure to disclose, since not your own. Stay safe & be well.

The Mach E is SO sexy. The only thing that pushes me towards the ID.4 is the 3 years of free charging with EA. That’s huuuuuge for me.

Let's read/hear about a test with better tires on the Mach-E, including the range loss.

We just bought a Mustang Mach e premium this past weekend. We're loving it so far. When I was young and single I owned a Trans-Am and then a Camaro Z28. This is much faster than either of those. It's even faster than my F-150 that has a 395 horsepower v8 in it. I was on a two-lane Highway passing a slower vehicle and I went from 60 to 105 before I realized it and got back into my own lane. You have no idea how fast you're going because it's so quiet and the acceleration actually puts you back into the seat. The GT when it comes out will be mind-blowing. Saving money wasn't the primary reason for me to buy this car but I live 25 miles from the nearest town so only costing $0.90 in electricity each way is a real bonus.

Ford dropped its sedan line up to give us a cross over with sedan ground clearance 😕

Total Ford F150’s sold in 2021: 726,004 Total Ford Mustangs sold in 2021: 79,554 Ford didn’t kill the sedan. People did. No one wants sedans.

I've never had a frunk so I don't think I'd miss it. I did wonder whether the access to the components under the front hood in the ID.4 would make maintenance easier/cheaper.

The gloss black trim around the Mach E's wheel-wells and bumpers looks like it will get scratches and chips easily. You won't have to worry about road grime paint chips on the ID4. No premium sound option from VW though.

In Europe the ID.4 comes standard with auto-hold. Got my car early January, happy with it, but consumption is a bit high (as a result of lower temperatures). I hope this improves in spring and summer. Auto-coasting is also part of my car provided you put it in either Eco or comfort mode. In sports mode it does regen braking when lifting off your foot from the pedal. The ID.4 als comes with a kind of auto pilot, even, which I think works very well. In addition it has a function that auto-brakes for curves and roundabouts, even in non-auto pilot mode. The infotainment is indeed very laggy and sub-standard (with Software 0783 aka ME2.0), version 0793 (or 2.1) is being rolled out in Europe, I hope that imporves the speed of the infotainments system, and that should allow for OTA updates starting this summer

@@tomj4371 Hi Tom, is it ok if I answer in metric? First of all I have a 11kW wallbox at home which makes that charging is effortless in most instances. My practical range is some 250-300km, that is mostly highway at speeds of 110-120km/h and by practical range I mean charge till 80pct and charge when at 100pct. When leaving home fully charged, at 100% then depending of ambient temperature I reach 350-400 km when getting nervous at around 10% State of Charge. In general sanitary pauses are needed more often then charging. But as said I mostly charge at home and can return with sufficient charge. I am happy with my EV.

In the EU versions of the ID.4 you already get Auto hold and Travel Assist ("Auto pilot"). The ID.4 can also apply regen automatically based on the road curves etc in ACC. Finally, the ID.4 also easily reaches the EPA rating according to some tests in Europe.

When you called the Mach E a fatter Mustang you really meant PHATTER right? PH FAT? ;). Alex, you are incredibly detailed. And objective. I watch every one of your videos because you don't gloss over the faults of every vehicle. Thank You! I'm leaning toward the AWD version of the ID4 as it will have a lot more kick ass to it. The alternative is the IONIQ 5 AWD. The Mustang would be in the running but in Canada they didn't mark a base model starting at 45k which means none of the trims get the 5k dollar gov't rebate. Ford Canada, anybody home???

Very good info.Can,.t understand why Mustang is more expensive than ID.4.Since there is lot of snow on the roads to the cabin I had to choose ID4.
