Ford’s first actual try at an electric automobile has been fairly a success with critics.
The Mustang Mach-E changed the Tesla Model 3 as Consumer Reports’ Top Pick in February 2022. It was named the Top Car within the Automobile Association of America (AAA) Car Guide in May. Car and Driver awarded it the journal’s first EV of the Year award in June 2021.
It was named the Utility of the Year on the 2021 North American Car and Truck of the Year awards — one of the crucial prestigious awards within the automotive business.
All the reward helps Ford take on Tesla, the largest model in EV’s within the U.S. by way of gross sales.
Ford’s choice to name its first EV a Mustang drew some criticism from purists, with some arguing the automobile is not an actual Mustang. But Ford needed to place its first EV as a brash and enjoyable automotive that pulls on its heritage.
The highest-end Mach-E is the GT, which might journey from 0-60 mph in as quick as 3.5 seconds. Tesla’s Model Y Performance, which prices about $7,000 greater than the GT, claims the identical acceleration time and has an extended vary.
But reviewers have stated the Mach-E has some options in its favor, other than its lower cost, such an in-vehicle leisure system that is simpler to make use of, superior driver-assistance options and higher reliability.
