2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium AWD

The Mustang Mach-E isn’t just a car, it’s a phenomenon: America’s oldest car company has put the moniker of the original pony car—introduced in 1964—on a dedicated electric crossover. The Mach-E is a great-looking car—unmistakably a Mustang, but new from the ground up. Our Premium AWD test vehicle had 2 motors (346 hp) and the larger 88-kWh battery, which provides plenty of power and range (an EPA-estimated 270 miles). It’s powerful, quick, and fun to drive. The roomy cabin is quiet; Ford’s full suite of advanced safety features, Co-Pilot360, is standard. Still, Ford has a few wrinkles to iron out. The ride is fine on smooth pavement but can be jarring on uneven or potholed streets. The braking and acceleration could be smoother at low speeds and in stop-and-go traffic. The tablet on the center console is huge (nearly 16 inches), but some menus are unintuitive and require multiple steps for simple tasks. Finally, the plain interior styling, absent any Mustang cues, doesn’t match the flair of the Mach-E’s sheet metal.
