Ford Mustang Mach-E SUV rivals
Overview
Ford’s first serious entry into the electric car market with a bespoke vehicle has certainly been an eye-opener. Since going on sale in 2020, the Mustang Mach-E has changed the image of the iconic nameplate, which used to be synonymous with tarmac-skimming coupes. It might be opinion dividing for enthusiasts, but it’s certainly selling well, as has the Puma since coming back as an SUV.
The Mustang Mach-E’s main competition includes the Jaguar I-Pace, Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Skoda Enyaq Coupe and Tesla Model Y. That’s a mixed bag of carmakers, which goes some way towards showing just how much the roll-out of the electric car is creating a new world order of what can sit on your shopping list together.
There are five models to choose from. For the first four, you essentially choose a rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD) setup then pick a standard or extended range battery. At the top of the ladder sits the most expensive GT. This comes with extended range and AWD only. This gives a broad spread of power and range offerings from 268hp to 480hp, and 248-mile from a full charge to 379 miles.
The Mustang Mach-E is bang on trend when it comes to how it fits into your life. Smartphone integration including the ability to use the smartphone as a key is a nice feature. In addition, 150kW charging capability speeds up public charging, and advanced driver assistance makes getting about less stressful, ensuring the Mach E is competitive with key rivals.
Ford’s partnership with charging supplier Ionity yields a healthy number of FordPass connected chargers, Home charging will benefit from dedicated Ford Connected wallboxes, but there’s a domestic power cable included as well – giving nine miles per hour of charging, versus 38 minutes for an 80% charge (around 250 miles) on a DC fast charger.
Over the next few pages we’ll score the Ford Mustang Mach-E in 10 key areas to give it an overall score out of five. Our assessment will take into account the driving experience, how pleasant the interior is, the practicality on offer and what it’ll cost you to run.
