Ford To Release All Electric SUV Mustang
Speaking of electric 鈥楽tangs, last week SEMA had the Mustang Lithium - 900hp amd 1,000 lb-ft of torque. That 0-60 is gonna be incredible. I bet it'll be sub 3 second. So literally not a mustang but a mustang? Got it. Makes perfect sense. Looking forward to their sensible line of "F-150" with 4cyl engines and 3rd row seating. Sort of like putting a Porsche hood ornament on your 86' Cutlass. I dont like this. SUV and be less trashy. Why on earth does this matter? Because fricking up an iconic nameplate for a totally unrelated vehicle is dumb. Another great name in american automotive history torn asunder. Another great name in american automotive history torn asunder. Anything but Mustang. Hell, Fairlane isn't being used. Bring that name back. Ford is capitalizing on the Mustang name to market an SUV because of the dead sedan market. The Taurus, Impala, LaCrosse are some of the models slated to go out of production in the next year. SUV because of the dead sedan market. Well we need to stop saying SUV, not one picture had been of an SUV yet. Just followed the info in the link. Don't necessarily hate the concept drawings. I think large-diameter wheels are officially done. This is Fonzarelli jumping the shark on 22-inchers, right here. Just followed the info in the link. Wasn't intended as a specific response to you. You were just the last post and had SUV in your post. You agree it's not a SUV though? By calling it a Mustang, they turned their new electric crossover into a trailer park favorite.

Ford unveiled Sunday ahead of the LA Auto Show the Mustang Mach-E, their highly anticipated all-electric crossover and the first vehicle to come out of Team Edison, the automaker鈥檚 dedicated electric vehicle organization. In short: The Mustang Mach-E is different from any other Ford vehicle without ignoring its roots. It鈥檚 undeniably a Mustang, with its short nose and front overhang, headlights and muscular stance. But it also has a design suited for an electric vehicle, as well as an all-new infotainment system and connected vehicle technology, plus a few other interesting and new details. The moment is an important one for Ford, which has historically backed hybrid technology. 鈥淲e knew we had to do something different and something exciting and something only Ford could do,鈥?Kumar Galhotra, president of Ford North America said at a press event prior to the Sunday unveiling. This is not meant to be a compliance car 鈥?the types of vehicles produced only to meet stricter emissions rules in some states such as California, a key market for automakers. Although the project initially started as one.
It鈥檚 meant to be a vehicle that people get excited about; it must be fun to drive and have the performance that Mustang die-hards expect. It鈥檚 no small task, and one some within the company viewed as a risk. 鈥淚鈥檝e driven it and it鈥檚 a rocket ship,鈥?Ford Chairman Bill Ford said during the event Sunday. And while there have been months of teasers and even one big leak, the unveiling Sunday provided fresh details of the vehicle. 7,500 federal credit. However, 鈥淪elect鈥?won鈥檛 be available until early 2021. The Select rear-wheel view trim has a 75.7 kwh battery pack with a target range of 230 miles. 2,700, the Select trim is also available in all-wheel drive. 60,500, will be available in Spring 2021. The GT performance comes with a 98.8 kwh battery pack with targeted EPA estimate of 250 miles. 500 deposit for any of the versions. A configurator that allows customers to design their version is also live.
Like other electric vehicles on the market, Ford has given the Mach-E three driving modes. Whisper is as one might expect, a quiet ride that has been tuned for a comfortable ride. 鈥淓ngage鈥?is the middle-of-the-road mode meant to provide what one Ford employee described as a 鈥渂alanced鈥?ride. For those who want the top performance and amped up drive, they can pick 鈥淯nbridled.鈥?Each driving mode is tuned with specific steering controls as well as ambient lighting and sounds. Drivers who pick Whisper or Engage will get blue lighting in the instrument cluster and other spots within the vehicle, while Unbridled has lighting with a copper hue and a propulsion sound. The Mach-E is also getting a next-generation version of its Sync infotainment system. The 15.5-inch vertical screen sits in the center and is where much of the important yet non-essential for driving functions are located. Stuff like music as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. One feature that stands out is a physical volume knob that sits at the bottom of the vertical screen. One interesting feature is that drivers of the Mach-E can run Apple CarPlay or Android Auto while also displaying the native maps on the display. Meanwhile, Ford kept the instrument cluster, where all of the important driving information is housed. Ford is supplying all variants with a home charger that can plug into 120V or 240V outlets. Ford will also sell a faster home charger. The price has not yet been revealed.
