- The Mach-E is Ford's first mass produced electric crossover SUV. The GT raises the performance bar. On the outside you will discover a more aggressive front fascia, larger wheels and Brembo brakes. On the inside there are GT specific seats and a massive 15in infotainment system. Powering the Mach-GT are (2) electric motors that produces 480HP! Is the 2023 Ford Mach-E GT the BEST new performance SUV to BUY?

Finally a review that’s not biased! Also, thanks for not comparing this to other EV’s like everyone else. I clicked this video to learn about a car I might buy, not learn about its competition. You sure earned my subscription!
Why is learning about alternative options when your spending 60k on a vehicle a bad thing. Don’t get me wrong I love the video too but I don’t think bringing up comparable vehicles is a bad thing.
Its crappy. Ugly & stupid. I wouldn't pay a gran for it if I had to keep it. It sucks. Get rid of it. I like the GT gas powered v8 better. Electric cars is crap. Dont buy it. Way too exspensive. Should only cost a gran.
That doesn't make sense. The title asks if is it the best so it should be compared. It is totally biased as it is presented as a commercial. It is same 0-60 as Model Y performance but costs $7k more than the Y
No one care about your subscription
That orange paint with the gold pearl in it is one of the best colors for cars. It looks good on just about everything.
Joe, I've never seen you have so much fun on one of these reviews. I have the same car and it's such great family. My 3 year old loves it when we go full throttle on the freeway on-ramps.
How long have you had it? Only thing I dislike a lot is the vertical screen, I wish it were horizontal.
@@EverythingEvo I got it early January 2022. I don't mind the big info screen but I know what you mean. I do wish it had more physical buttons and knobs though. Other than that it's 9/10 for me. If it had a power frunk like the F-150 lightning it would be a solid 10/10.
@@didiermejia780I love mine. Only zonk to me in no cooled seats. My last 5 vehicles have had cooled seats and they were not luxury brands
I'm starting to like the Mach E, don't know if it is the color but this looks pretty good.
At this point I just watch your videos not even because I’m looking to get the car or because I’m interested in it I’m just here cuz I like the way u review them
That really means the world! Thank you so much!
Yup..same for me.
My 1st EV crossover SUV! Nice video Joe.
That orange looks great on it. Personally I whould have it in a black with a white or red stripe.
🤣🤣
Don’t people love it when Joe goes on throttle!
Very comprehensive review! Those wheels are wild.
Thanks David!
Love the color Joe! But 78k is steep. Agree with you on the tires. Thanks for bringing it to us.
Yeah I was about to comment the same! Thankfully the Ioniq 5 is finally starting to come down in price around me so might be able to get one soon. But really do like the Mach E. Would just be the regular one for me tho
Premiums run from 50-60k and they’re amazing! Look into those!!! But for cheaper than that it would be a select one 44k-49 they’re great all around I get nothing but compliments on mine I got premium
I totally love the wiper! I complain all the time that every car in the world should have a rear wiper. I hate when my windows aren't clear.
u mustve owned a v6 mustang
@redpanda5972 95 sr20 and a 05 wrx
I understand Joe's excitement,i test drove one of these,not the GT,but also awd,and i didn't want to get out of it.They were willing to let me keep it for around 80k at the time,but i was too lazy to write them a check... :)))
I know how you feel.
The only thing that stand out to this car is the 15' screen but its to big for dashboard
Hi Raiti's Rides Can You Make The 2023 Ford Bronco Heritage Edition Next Time Can You Test The Range Off The Ford Mach-E GT Or Can You Do 0-60 MPH
I believe the range of it is between 200 and 330 miles. The range can also be impacted by weather conditions and your driving speed as well.
Can’t lie. That color and look is fire
I am glad that you are digging this one.
I have a 2013 Mustang Cali- the last year they made the coupe with the panoramic sun roof. I love having it. It’s like being in a convertible without the road noise with the top up. But…. It has a retractable integrated giant sun shade! 11:00 am - 2:00 I’ve usually got it pulled. It’s also super helpful to pull it when it is sitting in a parking lot. A electric shade on this car would have made a lot of sense. As a daily driver the MachE makes a lot of sense. Love hearing you laugh on the reviews!
Excellent Joe! As always. A pleasure to watch you.
Thank you Adam for taking the time to say that Adam!
The latest update now allows the volume control to also control climate.
Something along the lines of
You pick the option via the touchscreen icons then adjust the value via the volume control. I think the icon in the dial also changes.
The horse on the front grill like that looks amazing. I would have made the decision to put that there myself
Joe, you do an excellent job evaluating vehicles I enjoy your videos. I don't mine the color just wondering how it will look in a couple of years.i agree it needs a shade for the glass roof and I don't mind the center screen. I am also concerned with the milage range and the amount of time it takes to charge.
Thanks you for letting me share it with you Greg!
I've had my GT for a week now. I too was concerned about not having a shade for the roof. But even sitting out in the sun after several hours in the 96° heat, it is not any hotter than my Corsair with a sunshade.
I don't think I will bother ordering a shade.
Range on full charge depending on model is 250-350
Glass roof DOES NOT need a shade, it’s double glass and it has a special tint on one of the glasses preventing car and leather to get burning hot like cars with moonroofs so it’s honestly a beautiful and amazing feature
Super charge is 40min to hour depending if it’s a 100kw or 350kw charging station and obviously how low was your battery…
240V outlet at home will charge your car overnight for 8-9 hours again depending how low it was or you can get a super charge charger installed in your home… light bill will only go up $15-$50 a month from it depending if it’s a 240V or a super charger….
I am answering to your comment because I own a Mach e myself ☺️
@@Shawtys_storm You cannot get a supercharger installed in your home. Only level 1 (120v) or level 2 (240v).
tint the roof
Joe does such comprehensive, interesting reviews that I always find informative (and fun). Ford did a great job with this car. I love it.
Comprehensive, interesting and entertaining reviews! His reviews taught me what to look for in new cars!
Slowing at around 75mph is the overboost ending. When you first put the pedal down you’ll get 5 secs of overboost. In Unbridled mode there’s an option to extend it a bit but I’m not sure how much time it adds. Doing so will cancel out one Pedal Drive mode though so you’ll have to brake yourself. Dealers are slashing prices @ atm to compete with Ford’s price cuts to compete with Tesla’s price cuts. DO NOT pay MSRP vehicles on dealer lots!
I don't *hate* it carrying the Mustang badge, but I think Ford missed an opportunity. They could have brought back an older nameplate to join the reintroduction of the Bronco and Maverick names - maybe something like the Galaxie, but restyled as the Galax-E or something like that.
I like the way that you think although Mach-E sounds just fine.
E-BIRD ? Rhymes with T-BIRD?
Beautiful car. Love the cyber orange with the gloss black. Almost a perfect car, but they violated Raiti's Rule #7: "no rear windshield wiper on any vehicle with a sportback design, expecially a performance SUV."
You nailed it Leon!
What does that mean?
not a mach-e fan but the orange is definitely going to make me fall in love
the cyber orange with dark window tint is beautiful in person.
Correct, like the Lincoln Aviator, the rear windowshield wiper should have been recessed under the rear window valance.Thank You for Another GREAT REVIEW!
You are so very welcome James!
Not the typical Mustang you would think of😂
You are so very right about that!
@@RaitisRides wsp Joe!
@@oceanyt9334 I argree. I do believe this one is slow charging as well.
Almost my favorite mustang
That orange looks nice on the Mach E a good looking SUV especially the video looking clear and pretty shows how nice it looks and Joe looks good standing discussing on what the consumer needs to know before having on their new car shopping list.
I am glad that i could share all the angles with you.
I owned the 2021 cyber orange GT PE and I love the driving. I feel the same way each day I drive the car. Thanks for the video.
The GT is very nice but 78k? Much more expensive than a tesla with less range and slower 0-60 time. Not sure, kind of a tough sell
It is super pricey but what really isn't now a days?
Joe having the time of his life, love it!
Thanks Karl for letting me share it with you!
Never understood that you have all the room underneath. The spoiler should be tucked underneath up top.
The orange color is dope!
No tax credit and too expensive. I would choose a Model Y performance. The charging network alone is worth it.
You video excellent and enjoyable as always! I’m surprised we don’t see more Mach e’s on the road. One of my favorite electric vehicles. I’m normally black or white vehicle guy, but this black and yellow looks great together. I just want to say your shoes are always so fresh! How many pair of shoes do you have ? It’s a great that your shoes always look great, just curious! In case you want to put that in a video as a FUN fact! Haha. Always appreciate the twenkie references. It’s like a A Ratie’s Rides signature ! I like it. Anyway, hope you and your wife had a great day! Love seeing your channel and business grow!!
Yes!!! I totally agree with you, the rear wiper on this and all SUVs should be tucked underneath the spoiler
These things were literally Found On Road Dead in northern Canada this winter. Turns out you cannot start charging these if you leave it in the cold and it's - 25 out.
It does seem roomy back there, and I guess it's not the worst interior. The infotainment system and digital cockpit need to be integrated somehow, not tacked on. Not so sure Bill on his channel would be thrilled, especially with the panoramic roof exposing the cabin to the Florida sun. Bill doesn't hide his hatred of the hot weather in Naples. If I were to rent one, I'd include The Cars' "Panorama" album from 1980 with my music, and hope the AC will fight off the radiant heat from above.
Thanks for your greta thoughts on this one Michael.
I live in Vegas, heat and sun here it’s one of the worst in the entire country and let me tell you, heat did not affect my car at all… it was just like if it had a metal roof it’s truly amazing
I just bought this car yesterday. On the walk-through at the dealer I was advised not to charge the battery to 100% unless I was going on a long trip. They said 80% was a good rule of thumb. They also told me not to charge it daily, but let it go down to around 20%, and then charge it. So I’m thinking to myself, I take 20% off the top and 20% off the bottom and I’m really only left with 60% of the battery as usable. They said this is to extend the life of the battery. That’s all well and good but at a 260 mile range if I subtract 40% of the battery capacity, that leaves me with a range of only 156 miles. I’m not sure what to think of this. Is this good advice by the dealer?
That is really interesting! Thank you for letting me share it with you!
They're telling you those things because every time you charge and discharge, a battery it wears down. Data shows that charging a battery to 100% constantly will shorten the overall life of the battery.
I love it. The only thing I don't like is the sunroof situation. Gonna have to figure that out.
I LOVE the pony! I lOVE that it lights UP ~!
I wondered how you opened the doors! Thanks for that.
"On throttle here we go" 😂😂love it
So I’m a auto detailer. You do these walk around videos to get to know a car, I clean em. I still haven’t gotten my hands on a new Mach E, but I’m dying too ha! Would love to just spend a day checking it out.
Finally, a good looking Mach E.
I am so glad that you like this one.
OS has been updated - heating etc you can control with dial now, way better set up
Another entertaining review, nice work!
I have gotten over it and this is one of my favorite new cars
I got a 22 Premium AWD and love it!
This orange color is stunning bro
It’s beautiful. I love it in white
Doesn’t this thing only give certain performance for a few seconds and only if you are above 70% battery?
Yes you are correct!
I honestly don't think I would want a ev but this car is awesome!
love the color, makes me wanna go out and buy some Tangerines! 🍊🍊🍊🍊
🙂
Look at how the name flows so well in the title. Mach E is the name they should of stuck with
You can readily find a ‘21 Mach-E GT sub-$30k with 30k or less miles at the time of this writing. That’s a great value
I am very happy that Ford made SUV version of Mustang especially for those people who have physical issues or need wheelchair. This is United States where people can achieve their dreams. Person can choose between 2 doors mustang coupe or 4 doors suv mustang. Ford made the right called by making Mustang Mach E including GT version. I hope someday I have both 2 doors mustang coupe and Mustang Mach E GT.
I just wish they not have to call it a Mustang!
I disagree with you. I am glad that Ford calls it Mustang. I hope you have great day
The seats to are the most comfortable I have found, and that is what counts on a road trip! Good that Ford and Chevy have gone for the N. American standard Tesla charging which increases charge stations dramatically!
Great design especially in yummy Orange 🍊 Sunkist color..very tasty Mach E GT..on throttle whoosh thanks Joe and Steven for this exciting segment 😀
I appreciate you being part of the Raiti's Rides family!
Joe and Lori and keep up the good work and I love the video real true 👍 💯💯💯
You are the best Dominic!
Joe, I'm thinking the Cyber Orange is certainly worthy of Orange Julius, which will definitely help you wash down that Grouper Sub. Ha, Ha!
At least it has a rear wiper…most evs don’t have wipers. Nice car, nice review!
I’m not an orange fan but that looks sick! bet it looks better irl
After feeling what 0-60 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds feels like yesterday as of this writing of this comment, I'm over it. I need to get this SUV now, it's that good.
Yes, it is really good. Traded a '23 C8 Corvette for my GT, acceleration is about equal, brakes might actually be slightly better. No 5000lb car will ever handle like a 3400lb C8, but it is shocking how well it handles. Plus able to take grand-girls, or dogs, or a big box, or my bike, is so great. The best though? Not paying 70 bucks for gas every 10 days...love it!
Wow finally I found out a better SUV than BMW one.
Oof that slowing down after 80mph is a deal breaker
That rear windshield wiper on the Mach-E and the Ariya... unfortunate. Surely there is a more aerodynamic (and cooler) option than just sticking it on the back?
Loving this ride!
Thanks for another great review! Can you review the Rezvani Vengeance suv? It looks amazing!
I love the color on this Mach E Joe. It would be nice if they added maybe a digital rearview mirror. I like the screen size, not the I integration though. I wonder if u can get it jn other colors.......
All vehicles need a digital rear view mirror as standard equipment, especially coupe styled vehicles.
@@jeffs6090 as of 2022?
The color is beautiful! Can you review the gv70 2023?! Would love you opinion on the car 😊
Grouper calzone? Barf but great review Team Raiti!!!
Love the Cyber Orange, but that's about where it ends for me.
I used to have 2018 Mustang premium package and it had so many issues with electronic parts like memory mirror glitch and lumbar support control breaking after getting it repaired again and again. Does ford always have these issue? I want the mach e mustang but I wonder if it has a lot of these issues
This is my dream car that I want.
I am so glad that you enjoyed this Mach-E
I LOVE MY GRABBER BLUE GT. And 32000km without any problems❤
Since Ford came in with the Mach E. I would buy it over a Tesla. It's just my style. It's a beautiful car and looks aggressive.
That makes sense Cassie!
It's pretty cool. One thing I wonder is this - when someone wants to sell in say 5 or 6 years to get something new (like a lot of people do with cars), who is going to want to buy a well used electric vehicle whose battery is on the back side of its useful life (and, quite frankly, whose life with the ability to charge well and hold a regular, full charge is unknown)? Not me.
I saw the same exact one next to my job and I love how it looked, I couldn’t wait to hear how it sounds , man what a turn of this beautiful mustang it’s electric
The Mustang Mach E is a beautiful crossover. Love the body lines and that color really makes those lines pops. Regarding the throttle. Ford sets the throttle to reduce to around 70% after approximately 10 seconds. This is to help increase battery life plus Ford gives you this limited acceleration because most drivers use the full throttle for limited times like passing another vehicle or merging on a highway. Ford's goal is to keep resell values of pre-owned Mach E high by keeping the battery life last longer. Many EV vehicles don't take this into consideration. The Mach E GT is a fun performance car, but I'm guessing in future models. This acceleration controller will be changed or even removed by performance companies like Shelby. This Mach E GT isn't a Porsche and Ford didn't build it or price it like one. It's build as a performance family BEV that can safely handle family outings while providing some spirited driving. If you want to see what a full performance version of the Mach E GT can do in quarter mile passes. Take a look at the Mach E 1400 or Cobra Jet EV driven by Bob Tasca (Tasca Ford). Great review Joe.
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
it not having a sunshade is also bad for road noise bleed as well. the Volvo xc90's from the 2019 have a moon roof and it lets in so much road noise
That is a great point!
Does tire shine really make a car handle badly? If so I didn’t know that. What can you use to make them look nice but not ruin the handling…?
I pray the universe can bless me with one of these mustangs SUV, beautiful beautiful beautiful car
Only $78K for the E-GT...but it's got a nice frunk cooler:)
Ok, the 3.5 secs to 60 is fast! Joe laughs! But no Recaros!
The front grills are better than most EVs but are still pretty boring. That centre console screen is humongous and very distracting! But I'd use the cash instead and get a super Mustang 350R🤪
You bring up some very good points John! I would go GT350R all day, any day!
3.7 to 60 not 3.5
I love it can’t wait to get one ❤
You mentioned…There are ventilated Seats? I ordered a GT but they told there is no Option for ventilated Seats….
Better than Tesla
Yess!
The Mach E GT is freaking fast, everyone needs to test drive it, unbelievable! If you want more range, choose the normal Mach E with the long range batterie.
This is very true!
Joe, that rear wiper is in the way.
Not going to lie when I seen these I didnt like it on the internet but in person its a beautiful car.
I love the Mach-E GT I like the Cyber Orange I think the Mustang name has grown on me.
would of been dope if they had orange stitching
Are you kidding $78k? It should be half price of model Y. You ignored the range. So I am assuming the range is 150 miles while the model Y is 350 miles
Mach, Mustang, GT. All names that shouldn't be associated with this vehicle. Looks much better now and I'm very impressed with these vehicles.
I feel your pain!
@@RaitisRides Sir, your breakdowns of the data of each vehicles is flawless. I love the Twinkie holder and candy bars and bag of apples references. I also really like how you show all the different angles and breakdown of the materials used. Great job man! Grouper sub sounds good.
Love the cyber Orange the design is neat but remove the Mustang style tail lights, badging, and the Mustang name!
The color fits it well.
Range in the winter? I'd probably by one if I lived in a more metro area. Only place I could charge in my area would be at home.
I like it. It's definitely different, and you don't see 'many' on the road except in Michigan where Ford is based. (Moved from Michigan to Texas... you rarely see Mach-E's). However... it is so hard to beat Tesla's infrastructure.... and the recent price drop on the Tesla....
Model Y Performance (with enhanced autopilot +$6k), and with Red Paint - $66,630 total MSRP (No markup) 303 miles range
Ford Mach-E GT Performance - $77,990 total MSRP. 260 miles range
The Ford is pretty nice though, I'll give it a shot.
