Up front, the grille is the main design feature that reminds of the Mustang. Granted, the hexagonal grille is common for other Ford models as well, but the Mach-E鈥檚 has a more angular and aggressive design than the Focus for example. The headlamps seem based on the Mustang as well, although they鈥檙e notably thinner and sharper at the corners. The bumper is unique to this model and looks rather utilitarian, but the muscular front hood makes up for that. The profile is very SUV-specific, but it鈥檚 sportier than the usual hauler. The rear fenders are impressively muscular and the beltline that runs through the doors is pretty aggressive as well. Another muscular character line defines the upper section of the side skirts and creates a cool scalloped area at the bottom of the doors. The roof is sporty as well, featuring a coupe-style rear section.
