The Ford Mustang Mach-E is an upcoming four-door electric crossover SUV produced by Ford.[3] The vehicle was introduced on November 17, 2019, and is expected to go on sale in late 2020 as a 2021 model.[4]

Overview

The Mach-E name is inspired by the Mach 1 variant of the first-generation Mustang.

Conventional door handles are absent on the Mustang Mach-E, and the vehicle instead feature buttons that pop open the doors and a small door handle protruding from the front doors. Owners can use their smartphones as a key as well as a keypad built into the B-pillar.

The interior has a wide dashboard and built-in soundbar; the dash is equipped with a vertically mounted 15.5 in (39 cm) touchscreen infotainment system with a rotary dial fixed onto it. The majority of the car’s systems are controlled through the screen, which uses Ford's recent SYNC 4 operating system that can accept wireless updates. A 10.2 in (26 cm) digital cluster for the driver is also featured, while the steering wheel retains a number of physical buttons.[5]

The Mustang Mach-E is built on the Global Electrified 2 (GE2) platform which is a heavily reworked version of the C2 platform that is used on the fourth generation Focus and third generation Kuga/fourth generation Escape.

The model will be launched with two battery pack sizes and three power outputs. The entry-level rear-wheel drive version is offered with either a 75.7 kWh battery producing 255 hp or a 98.8 kWh extended battery producing 282 hp. Both battery packs has a claimed 0-62 mph time of under eight seconds and an EPA range of around 230 and 300 miles respectively.[6] Top Speed is estimated to be around 155 mph and an estimated weight weight is around 5,300 lbs[7].

A dual-motor all-wheel-drive version is also offered with either the same 75.7 kWh battery producing 255 hp, or the 98.8 kWh extended battery producing 332 hp. Both versions have a claimed 0-62 mph time of under seven seconds, with estimated EPA ranges of 210 and 270 miles. Charging is available via an AC home charger or DC fast chargers at up to 150 kW.[8]

The car has two trunks, a traditional cargo area at the rear with a claimed volume of 402 L (14 cu ft), and a 100 L (4 cu ft) waterproof trunk under the hood.[9][10]
