Dreams change as we grow older and mature, apparently, so do the cars we grew up loving. The new Ford Mustang Mach-E provides the ultimate in luxury, convenience, and power. You have all the power you need even if you’re being chased by Steve McQueen through the streets of San Francisco or wherever the Canadian equivalent would be. We’d prefer that you don’t explore that on your test drive. The original Ford Mustang took the world by storm. The Mach-E has all the features you’d expect or want, however, you might just have to change your dreams to match.
The Ford Mustang Mache-E provides an upscale experience that you’d not expect a Ford to deliver. Soft leather covers most contact surfaces, and carbon-fiber-covered textiles complete the complementary design. The switches provide easy operation and a superior tactile experience with easy grips. The motor company made a decision not to deliver an upgraded and electrified Focus. The company wanted a repeat of the excitement of the original Mustang to sell its new electric vehicle, so it pulled out all the stops. The solution was an upgraded Mustang that advanced from pony to crossover family utility vehicle.
The classic car remains true to its high-performance roots. The model is the manufacturer’s first mass-market electric vehicle, and it’s a winner in any way you consider it. The Mache-E comes standard with safety features and the intuitive Co-Pilot 360 2.0 app package. Unlike other apps, it works in the background and doesn’t require an electronics degree to use. The app actually excels the Tesla Autopilot, which was previously considered the top app in the industry.
You get adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and warnings from the FordPass app, which searches for places to recharge your battery. You can even filter your searches to find faster-charging stations. The app displays the current charge and charging speed and pays the bill when you’re finished. Other top features of the electric Ford Mustang include:
The Ford Mustang is loaded with high-tech options like the huge 15.5-inch center control touchscreen with controls for the radio and sound system, environmental controls, car settings, navigation, park assist, and others. There are also spare controls for many features right on the steering column.
The company publicizes the model as an electric SUV, but it’s more of a cross between an SUV and a wagon. The car seats five people comfortably, and it comes in five trim levels:
This trim level includes 266 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque when using the rear-wheel drive. The vehicle has a range of 370 Kilometers. When using all-wheel drive, which is undeniably common in Canada, the torque rating rises to 428 lb-ft torque and the range drops to 339 Kilometers. Other features include:
The California Route 1 trim option includes the larger battery pack that extends the range to 491 Kilometers using the rear-wheel drive. Horsepower is 290, and torque rating is 317 lb-ft torque. Other features include
The Premium trim features the same range for RWD and AWD as the Select. You can get the extended battery range for 483 kilometers of RWD driving, 290 hp, and 317 lb-ft torque. Driving all-wheel drive with the extended battery produces 434 per charge with 346 hp and 428 pound-feet of torque. Other features include:
The all-wheel-drive GT delivers 418 Kilometers, 480 hp, and 634 pound-feet of torque with an extended battery range. The Performance edition delivers 260 miles to a charge, 480 hp, and 634 lb-ft torque. The GT trim has the same features as the Premium trim without the panoramic glass or BlueCruise system.
The First Edition trim has only all-wheel drive, and the ratings are the same as those of the Premium trim. Other features match those of the Premium trim with aesthetic upgrades that include interior stitching, painted brake calipers, and unique scuff plates.
