VIDEO REVIEW - Rocking the Ford Mustang Mach-E! Is he a real Ford?

If we have an electric car on the Auto Review editorial board, we subject it to a range test. Because with an EV you naturally want to know: does it reach its specified range? And as you can see in our collector's article, we have already measured 23 cars. Which one is on top? Not the Tesla Model 3, Polestar 2 or Porsche Taycan. For now, it is the Ford Mustang Mach-E that takes our range trophy.

Ford Mustang Mach-E GT with almost 500 hp

Is there reason to be outraged? After all, Ford 'misuses' the illustrious Mustang name for an electric car. Well, there's nothing to get excited about. Or it must be the performance of the Mach-E. Because as befits a power SUV, the big Ford wants to leave its place just fine. The 487 hp GT variant of the Mustang Mach-E speeds to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds. Although we shouldn't actually use the word 'raging' of course, because you don't hear an EV.

In Untamed mode, the Mach-E hums at you

At least, you don't hear most EVs ... Because Ford - just like Porsche for the Taycan - has come up with something nice for the Mach-E. If you put it in the wildest driving mode, there will be a restrained but impressive hum from the speakers. This will make the hair stand on end for seasoned petrolheads, because it's fake, but believe us ... the experience in the Mustang Mach-E is a lot more exciting.

Chicken wings and beer from the boot?

Anyway, with sporty performance and a sharp driving behavior alone you will not get there in electroland. Early adopters - that's what we can safely call EV drivers - they also want gadgets. And the Ford Mustang Mach-E has a few of those. The Tesla-esque display in the center is huge and has a fun physical dial on the bottom half. The frunk - the luggage compartment in the front - can easily be cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner. Ford thinks you're going to eat chicken wings and beer out of it...
