2020 Ford Mustang Mach-E 98.8 Kw (465 HP)

Vehicle Overview

This was the most revolutionary model that wore the Mustang nameplate, and many of the brand’s fans were outraged because of it. But still, the vehicle was appreciated for its attributes.

In 1964, Ford introduced the Mustang as the original pony car and built it for six generations before creating the most unusual version of it, the Mustang Mach-E. While only the nameplate and several design cues were carried over from the famous American coupe, the rest of the vehicle was completely new from the ground up. Unlike its stablemate, it was an SUV coupe with an all-electric drivetrain fit for the next generation of customers who didn’t think of a vehicle as a gasoline-powered one but as an electron-powered car that could do more than just run fast on highways and streets. It was also perfectly capable of driving on unpaved roads or in slippery conditions. On top of that, the high technology level of the Mach-E made it a best-buy for many young customers who didn’t like gasoline-powered vehicles as much as their parents did.

The 2020 Mustang Mach-E designers took inspiration from the Mustang coupe when they designed the vehicle and created similar-looking headlights for the electric SUV. As a result, the narrow, swept-back LED headlamps featured three vertical daytime lines connected to the upper, eyebrow-like one, like in the 2020 Mustang. Between them, since the car didn’t need a broad cooling area, the automaker placed a panel shaped like the Mustang’s grille and an air intake lower in the apron. From its profile, the coupe-shaped greenhouse featured a sloped-down roof line and narrow windows. The rear fenders sported oversized shoulders that created a muscular aspect for the car. Finally, at the back, the raked-forward tailgate was adorned by a wide roof spoiler, while the taillights featured the same three vertical lines pattern as in the Mustang family.

Inside, the high-tech environment was dominated by the big, portrait-mode touchscreen for the infotainment system, while the driver fronted another display used as an instrument panel. The front occupants were separated by the tall center console that housed a pair of cup holders, an armrest, the transmission controller, and the parking brake switch. Their high-bolstered bucket seats were available with electric adjustments, heating, and ventilation. In the back, there was room enough for three occupants with enough headroom despite the sloped-down roof. A panoramic glass roof was offered as an option.

Under the skin, Ford installed a choice of three powertrain options with rear or all-wheel drive one or two motors. These were fed by a 98,8 kWh battery pack that ensured the car had a long enough range to fit customers’ needs for daily transportation. In addition, thanks to the high instant torque provided by the electric motors, the vehicle was able to sprint quickly enough to match its coupe sibling.
