2019 Ford Mustang Mach-E Is The Next-generation Muscle Car, And It鈥檚 Electric!
Without a doubt, Ford鈥檚 Mustang is the most iconic muscle car of all time. On the other hand, the Mach-E is the next-generation pony car albeit in SUV form. It also happens to be an all-electric car, the first-ever in the history of Ford. The new Mustang Mach-E is the latest member of the Mustang family, something which Ford hasn鈥檛 done in the past 55 years. When the original Mustang came to market in 1964, it immediately became the symbol of freedom and confined rebellion. And now, the Mustang Mach-E is resurrecting the heyday of muscle car performance without the guilty pleasure of a magnificent V8 motor. It only took two years for the Edison team at Ford to create the Mach-E from scratch. But before that, Ford was already working on an all-electric vehicle using an all-new electric platform. Ford did the right thing. Faced with the prospect of competing head-on with the mighty Tesla Model 3 and upcoming Model Y, the new car needed to have a familiar name, and the name should be iconic enough to merit attention.
鈥淎t the first-ever Detroit auto show, Henry Ford said he was working on something that would strike like forked lightning,鈥?said Bill Ford, executive chairman of Ford Motor Company. True, this is one of the most unique quirks of Mustang Mach-E. Ford wants you to know it鈥檚 a new Mustang and not simply a new Ford vehicle. In fact, even the steering wheel is emblazoned with the pony logo. And there鈥檚 a reason for this - the Mach-E is a true Mustang. It has the same long and powerful hood design, slim headlights, and sloping roofline. Even the taillights seem directly lifted from the Mustang coupe with its three-bar light design. But unlike in a Mustang coupe, Ford was able to offer surprising levels of interior room and massive cargo space. You get 29 cubic feet of space in the boot with the rear seats up. Fold them down and you now have 60 cubic feet of cargo room, which means the Mustang Mach-E has more interior storage volume than both the Jaguar I-PACE and Audi e-tron SUV.
Need more storage space? No sweat. Mustang Mach-E also comes with a front trunk or 鈥榝runk鈥?for all you Tesla apostles out there. You have 4.8 cubic feet of space under the hood, but it鈥檚 not the amount of space that鈥檚 surprising. It鈥檚 the fact the frunk is drainable via a handy drain plug at the bottom. Here鈥檚 another styling quirk of the Mustang Mach-E - the car has no door handles, virtually zero! The doors can either open automatically as you approach the vehicle, or you can use your smartphone or press a button on the door sill for easier ingress. It鈥檚 the same story in the rear. Having no door handles not only results in better aerodynamics, but it gives the body a sleeker and more unified look. In both front and rear, the doors pop out by at least four inches so you can easily pull it open even if your hands are preoccupied with shopping bags. We previously reported the Mustang Mach-E will most likely be offered in a single and dual-motor configuration. As it turns out, we were right.
Ford is offering the vehicle with rear-wheel (single motor) or all-wheel-drive (dual motors) and a choice of two battery packs: 75.7 kWh for standard range models and 98.8 kWh for extended-battery models. 7,500 worth of federal tax credits. This model is equipped with a single electric motor driving the rear wheels. It has 255-horsepower and an estimated range of 230 miles. 5,000 more. This means longer range (300 miles for RWD and 270 miles for AWD) and a stronger output of 282-horsepower (RWD) or 332-horsepower for AWD models. 53,500 (before tax credits) and gets a single motor with RWD and the extended-range battery pack. This equates to an estimated range of 300 miles. 61,000. It receives the extended-range battery and AWD setup from the Premium trim. 61,600. The GT receives two large electric motors and AWD producing 459-horsepower and 250-miles of range. Ford is also working on a GT Performance model which won鈥檛 arrive until later next year. According to Ford, close to 80-percent of electric vehicle owners charge at home. With this in mind, the Mustang Mach-E comes standard with a mobile charging kit, good for 22 miles per hour of charging on a 240V socket. Optional is Ford鈥檚 Connected Charging station for a charging rate of 32 miles per hour using the same 240V outlet. The new Mustang Mach-E also means you get access to the FordPass Charging Network. The system is capable of offering a peak DC charging rate of 150 kW to replenish the batteries from 10-percent to 80-percent charge in less than 40 minutes. Does an all-electric Mustang SUV make sense? With the Mustang Mach-E, Ford is ready to face the Tesla Model Y along with the current batch of Model 3 sedans dominating the EV marketplace.
