Ford Mustang Mach E Quick Take

2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E
Now more affordable among a larger pool of competition

Now that it’s been out for a couple years and the drama of putting the Mustang name on an electric has mostly subsided, the Mustang Mach-E carries on with reduced pricing and more options. With many more similarly sized EVs in this segment now, it's clear that the Mustang Mach-E continues to cater to an enthusiast type of driver. At its base it delivers 266 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of instant torque and at its best an impressive 480 horsepower with 634 lb.-ft. of instant torque rated at 0-60 in 3.8 seconds.

The Mustang Mach-E is an all-electric five-passenger SUV that was all-new for 2021. For 2023, it is available in four trim levels known as Select, California Route 1, Premium, or GT. 2024 models will see the addition of a new off-road-oriented Rally model and the discontinuation of the California Route 1 model. The various models are then offered in variations of standard or extended range as well as rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Minimum range is 224 miles on a standard range eAWD model, and the highest available range is an extended range RWD model that is estimated at 310 miles. Base prices start at $39,895 for the RWD Select model and can climb as high as $60,340 for the GT extended range performance edition. All models currently qualify for the federal tax credit of $7,500. Similarly sized electric crossovers include the Honda Prologue, Hyundai IONIQ 5, Kia EV6, Nissan Ariya, Subaru Solterra, Toyota bZ4X, Volkswagen ID.4, Volvo XC40 Recharge and the Tesla Model Y.

I enjoy the Mustang Mach-E and it remains one of the more engaging electric SUVs available. It's quick off the line, is extremely agile, and the one-pedal driving works very well. Ford designed a vehicle that turns heads and blends coupe-like features with compact SUV functions. Competition has grown and there are others that offer more space and range, but the Mach-E is still a solid choice. Ford recently reduced prices on all models making it an even more affordable option in the class.
