- Hi guys,
In this video I give a detailed review on the Ford Mustang Mach E, AWD Extended Range. I’ve tried to cover as much as possible so if you are considering this car, hopefully you’ll find this review useful :)
Big thanks to Ford UK for the loan of the car.
Also thanks Racelogic for use of their timing gear which can be found here;

TIME STAMPS FOR THIS VIDEO;
00:00 - 02:52 - INTRO
02:52 - 07:28 - WALK AROUND
07:28 - 16:02 - INTERIOR / TECH
16:02 - 18:50 - CHARGING
18:50 - 20:15 - 0 TO 60 MPH
20:15 - 28:04 - DRIVE
A few things:
1) it definitely deserves to wear the ‘stang badge - missing only the inability to steer and likelihood of wrapping itself round a pole
2) that frunk is HUGE and one of the most usable ones I’ve ever seen - especially considering there is a motor in the front there
Nice to see Anjunadeep on the stereo 👌🎶
Has to be done - great album! 👌🏻
Back looks sharp.
Great review Gary. How much though is the home electric bill going up charging one of these twice a week 🤔
To be honest I have no idea. Bills are doubling from tomorrow too….
Great, comprehensive review Gary. I’m perplexed as to why they used the Mustang name and badge though. But then at £60k, they need as much marketing as they can get. Nice work mate, interesting to hear a true petrolhead’s opinion on an EV
I’m a little confused as to why Ford didn’t enter the EV market with a smaller, more affordable car, rather than a premium model. But it was a great experience for me and I can see the appeal if you have everything in place to run one 👍🏻
2022 it doesnt slow down charging until 90%...pretty nice..Ford will be sending OTA one deals with charging..80 to 90 used to take 52 minutes....after update only 15 minutes
Great review. I own the same MME in the US and love it. The EPA range rating is 270 miles, which is more realistic than the European WLTP numbers.
I notice a few small differences with the European version of the car, which is odd because they roll of the same assembly line in Mexico. My MME does have Michelin tires, no red brake calipers, no ‘AWD’ badge on the rear and no contrast stichting. And the sport mode is called ‘unbridled’.
Thanks! It’s strange how they make small differences like that isn’t it! I mean, how does that make any sense?lol.
It’s worth having a look at the version. I understand there are differences between the 2021 and the 2022
WHAT MILEAGE DO YOU GET IN WINTER - ALTHOUGH I KNOW YOUR CLIMATE IS DIFFERENT TO UK, JUST WONDERING FOR "REAL MILES".
66k and is fast. got mine today and the instant torque is addicting
Always like any Ford reviews lol. I'm still not totally EV loving yet , still like the old school engines. Like the styling of Mustang though.
Is the British version different in some way other than right side drive? The US versions of the Premium AWD extended range is advertised at 4.8 seconds 0-60.
They must be…
Enjoyed the review Gary….. as always 👍 lot of talk about the prices tho let’s face it no one buys a car theses days it’s all pcp and hp. Granted the monthly payments will be higher but the cost of running is low compare to petrol 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
With home charging it has to be cheaper than petrol! Thanks for watching mate 😊
Decent review, bought this model a couple of months ago and loving it. The exterior build quality is far better than the Teslas but still not up to German premium cars is my only gripe. Other than that it’s a great first electric car and I’m never going back.
That’s good to hear! How are you finding the range for day to day living? I take it you’re home charging at night? Thanks for watching!
@@CarFocused I've only had the car during this cold period but i'm getting around 220 miles ish but I don't hold back on the heating etc. but hopefully that will grow as the weather increases. I didn't have a home charger in the first 5 weeks but I work in Leeds and i'm able to park and charge at a Q-Park and pay just 31p per kwh which works fine. Now I've got my home charger it's super convenient. I was a nervous mover to electric but it's working fine although I do feel like i've paid a premium for being a first mover.
@@johndenton6908 that’s interesting to hear your experience with the car. It seems it’s easy enough to live with day to day 👍🏻 Being able to charge whilst at work is also a massive bonus 👌🏻
WHAT REAL MILES DO YOU GET MATE PLEASE WHEN ITS COLD ? ASSUME YOUR UK
@@tstan73 yes in the uk. Last few months about 230 miles but can see this going up over past few weeks with improving weather. Expecting to get up to 300 in next few months.
I have the rdw 75 kwh . Good enough for me
Agree with your review…i’ve had one on loan to try out an EV…it’s pretty impressive…love the styling, interior and comfort/space. It drives like a giant hot hatch imo, it is enjoyable to hustle down a b road - quite unexpected! I also tried a Kia EV6 which i didn’t like at all…cheap plastic interior, strange velour seats, odd graphics, missing a rear wiper, and drove like a 2 tonne milk float…not good at all. As a company car this works - given the low tax position. I’m a petrol head too, and like you was surprised I liked the Mach E!
Glad to hear it! If you go into it with an open mind, it’s a pleasant surprise 😃
Is the European spec different? The ER AWD premium in Canada does 0-60 in 4.8 seconds.
Also I love that you guys in the UK get black seats with red stitching and black headliners. Looks awesome. Our black seats have terrible looking white stitching. And beige headliners…..yuck!
Nice car but the same problem as many EV's. Way too expensive for ordinary people.
This is a premium EV and yes it is quite pricey. There are cheaper options out there but will be very dull in comparison 😩
If it wasnt a MUSTANG it wouldnt look as GREAT as it does...Definitely a MUSTANG OF THE FUTURE...
You can absolutely fit a suitcase in the frunk, just remove those partitions.
Compared to our Audi A4 Avant the boot space is limited. It’s not great not being able to put a stroller in lengthways.
@@CarFocused you said suitcase.
@@MrMcGiblets1 oh sorry I though you were referring to the boot at the back. Must be a small suitcase to fit it in that tiny Frunk!
@@CarFocused a standard carry on roller fits well, but you have to remove the partitions. It's much more room than the VW ID4 or the Kia EV6.
For the algorithm 👍👍
you think a diesel would be faster then the Mach-E?
Is this premium or select?
Booting it with stereo and heaters on, how many miles....?
I’d worked out I was getting about 258 miles with a full charge. That was with climate at 22 degrees with AC on and tunes pumping 👌🏻
@@CarFocused heated seats and lights on also?
I'm Viewer 998 😎
Watched all of the video, surprising for me as I am not a fan of Ev's hopefully I have enough capacity in my petrol cars to see my driving days out. Honest review but £60k really?
Appreciate that mate. Yep, 60k! You can get them cheaper but they’re the slower, shorter range RWD variant.
@@CarFocused Have to hope my RS Focus and GR Yaris see me out as a driver, I have no intention of going Electric. Oh and my GS 1250 BMW Adventure bike for the real good weather days.
@@stephenthomas5737 now that's a garage 👍
@@boabm6522 Oh and my wife has a John Cooper Works mini that I can also borrow.
Really expensive to buy, all be it quite expensive to run with electric prices. I really don’t see these as the future.
Great vid as always Gary lad! 👍
Thanks mate. Time will tell! We’ve just ordered a Hybrid as a kind of middle ground 😁
There is no leather in this car it’s synthetic which is really good, you should really do your research before hand
My bad!
Sorry, I don't like it, ford have messed up here big time. If you quickly look at the front end you'd think it was the rear if it wasn't for the white plate.
Great and honest review but with the planned increase in electricity prices this won't make it value for money
I actually don’t mind the front, it’s the rear that I can’t get used to 🙈 Unfortunately there was no way for me to test how much it would cost to charge at home 😩
Sorry don’t like it , start off with it’s an EV won’t work in the long run , it’s not that nice looking , much prefer the original mustang .
EV’s are lovely to drive mate. I was negative about them at first but my mind has been changed now. I know it’s a long video but I do explain it all during the in car section 👍🏻
Mmmm SUV electric Mustang. No it doesn't deserve the world famous badge mate. Won't they don't tell you about these electric cars is after 4 years the batterys are knackered and cost over 10k to replace 😳
The battery comes with an 8 year warranty mate 👍🏻 Would be a worry after that though 🙈
@@CarFocused Means the second hand car trade will die
@@strikeeaglemodels1588 it’s going to be interesting watching it unfold…
@@CarFocused Yeah sure will mate, if we live that long 😂 I don't think battery power is the way. I think thier will be some sort of fusion power unit. These batteries are toxic too and can't be disposed of properly. Also the power stations would have to burn more fuel to charge all these batteries. Swapping one pollution for another 👍
@@strikeeaglemodels1588 good systems thinking, but even if you were charging using coal-generated power, you’d be using half the amount of energy as a diesel engine
Not a electric fan never will be pure petrol head
Out of interest have you ever driven a fast electric car?
@@CarFocused just not for me sorry
It's electric.....no does not deserve the badge 😪
Should have branded it with another name - but the car is quite good to be fair.
@@CarFocused I agree with you there...the car looks awesome, I'm not against electric cars....the chances is my next family car will be electric....you think of mustang...you think American muscle 😉
