2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium

The Mustang Mach-E was the 2022 AAA Car Guide’s top-scoring vehicle, and changes since then have been mainly increases to its EV range and expansion its packages and features list. We tested the midrange Premium trim with a single motor (264 hp), a standard battery pack (72.0 kWh), and RWD. That’s good for a high EPA-estimated fuel-efficiency rating of 102 MPGe and a range of 250 miles (some Mach-Es have longer ranges). The Mach-E still ranks among the top EVs on the market. It’s a good-looking car (our test vehicle was painted a shimmering metallic green), fun and easy to drive. Its roomy cabin (in the front row, anyway) is quiet, though the car’s heavy curb weight delivered jolts to the cabin when we drove over irregular pavement. Ford’s Co-Pilot360 suite of advanced safety features is standard. A frunk with nearly 5 cubic feet of storage lies under the hood. But the Mach-E has a few problem areas. For instance, some of the ARC staff disliked the huge, 16-inch vertical tablet on the center console (a horizontal setup is easier to use). Also, side and rear visibility is compromised by large roof pillars and a small rear window. And the sloping roof limits cargo space and makes getting in and out of the Mach-E more difficult.
