Ford Mustang Mach-E Review: Interior, Price, Range & 0-60mph Test | Top Gear Tested

It took Ford 50 years to officially bring the Mustang over to the UK, and now we're supposed to believe the Mustang can be an electric family crossover?

The Mustang Mach-E is Ford’s first fully-fledged electric car - saying that you won’t find a Ford badge on it anywhere. The Mach-E instead riffs off Ford's rich pony car heritage, giving this Tesla Model Y and VW ID.4 rival a bit of a "Land of the Free' USP.

Is it all just a clever bit of badge engineering, or is the Mach-E a genuine Tesla rival? Time for Top Gear Magazine's Serious Car Tester, Ollie Kew, to do some very serious car testing...

He’s wrong about the front and rear doors and potentially slamming your hand. Once you hit the unlock button you actually can’t close the door, there’s a mechanical mechanism that prevent the person from slamming their hand. Once the door is opened then the mechanism unlocks. There’s no way your slamming your hand against the door. For top gear they just gotta do more research

The reviewer has such a strong bias against American cars that the whole review has become too compromised with old jokes and outdated stereotypes, condescension and nitpicking. I have driven the Mach E on a road trip in Honolulu and it's the car I was most impressed with after using over 2 dozen vehicles driving across America.

I just drove one of these on a road trip . . . . drove it ~2, 600 miles in two weeks and between home and my destination was 900 - 1, 000 miles (so there were two long legs to that drive). It was fantastic! I found it to be comfortable, and so great to drive on the road trip, I never got bored. Hell, I only used Blue Cruise when I was eating.

I have this exact trim (MME 4X), and it's easily the best daily driver I've ever owned. The interior is waaaay better (for my money) than the Model 3 and Y, and it's been beating the Model Y in highway range tests (even if not by much). All-in-all, it's a great car that I can haul my family around in whilst also having a good time. Hell, I'd even call it nimble for it's weight/size.

Just like I expected we get the typical American car derision and then halfheartedly admit that it’s a decent car. It took the old Top Gear many years to get past that typical diatribe.

[Duckferd]

The reviewer spent almost as much time talking about how 'American' this car is vs. the actual characteristics of the car itself. I think after the 3rd mention the audience gets it. The Top Gear Magazine crew usually do pretty good consumer level reviews but this one is a bit cringe to sit through.

[philipminns]

It took 50 years for the Mustang to come to the UK, coincidentally the same time period between the first reviews of the Mach-E and this one.

[revelare_xvii]

The only con I have with this car is the name. “Mach-E” alone was already a great name for this car.

[benmorgan]

It seems more like he saw the car and went: how can I show my bias against an electric Mustang as obvious as possible?

[davidkettlewell]

well i have a 2013 Boss 302 and just picked up a Mach E all wheel drive with the big battery. and I just LOVE it yes its not the same as my 302 but this electric pony is fast !!! its more a suv .

[johnlozinski]

The presenter is negative throughout then leaves a positive feedback. Very anti-American British presentation should have been toned down to give an honest review.

[Daivd]

I think they should feature this segment in the TV program, cause it's very good!

[michaellusigi]

The stale American Vs European narrative and the jokes that don't land waters down this review. A glaring bias makes the review and Top Gear feel more like a joke...Please let Chris Harris run this show! and for the record, in any country, even in RHD European countries, the car is a great car!

[DiamondDrew]

I know there is a lot of controversy for this vehicle. However, Mustang or not, it's a good vehicle.

[shinrezel]

It's a good review but we gotta work on the joke delivery because some of them feel quite forced like you've said the same joke twice but with different words but still a good informational video nonetheless

[torpedo]

Gotta agree, the rear handle was designed by dangerous idiots.

[SirSayakaMikiTherd]

Reviewing an American car without using overused stereotypes every 5 seconds (impossible challenge)

The Top Gear Testing Facility looks an awful lot like the M.I.R.A test facility in Millbrook 😉

[nunohannover]

It’s “only” 100 Liters…referring to the frunk…well it’s 100 litres more that you get in a VW, Mercedes and BMW 🤔

[ferrarif]

Hearing his anti-american dad jokes can be very exhausting.

[nicholasstocker]

The noise the Mach-E makes on the move sounds like the opening of THX.
