Range will start at 210 miles for the standard-range battery and all-wheel drive and reach as high as 300 miles for the extended-range battery on a rear-wheel-drive model. Either way, the batteries are paired with permanent-magnet synchronous electric motors and located under the floor of the vehicle. The Premium model comes with a choice of standard or extended-range batteries and rear- or all-wheel drive, while the First Edition comes only with all-wheel drive and the extended-range battery. The Mustang Mach-E will come in a choice of five versions, only two of which will be available initially: the Premium and the limited-quantity First Edition, both slated to reach customers in late 2020.

Today, the Ford Motor Company is proud to unveil a car that strikes like forked lightning all over again. "At the first-ever Detroit auto show, Henry Ford said he was working on something that would strike like forked lightning," said Bill Ford, the company's eponymous executive director. Pricing is expected to start at around the £40,000 (€47,000) mark when the Mach-E arrives in the UK next year. It’ll be the most practical Mustang ever, too, with a 402-litre boot out the back, and an extra 100-litre ‘frunk’ under the nose. The car can be unlocked and started using your smartphone as a key. There’s an optional Bang & Olufsen sound system that effectively turns the entire dashboard into a sound bar. That’s backed up by an all-digital 10.5-inch instrument panel. It also gets a physical ‘clickwheel’ controller mounted directly on the screen. That uses Ford’s latest SYNC4 infotainment software which, among other things, can accept live, over-the-air software updates. Inside, the minimalist cabin gets faint hints of the Mustang coupe’s retro ‘dual cowl’ design, but it’s dominated by a 15.5-inch Tesla-style tablet screen in the centre of the dash. Later on there will be a max-spec GT version with the big battery, two motors, and a whopping 460hp - the same power output as the snarling 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine found in the Mustang coupe - and 830Nm of torque. Go further than that, and you can have four-wheel drive with two electric motors developing wither 255hp or as much as 335hp. Spec up, and you can have a 99kWh battery and a 290hp motor. Basic models will have a 75kWh battery, and single 255hp electric motor driving the rear wheels. The first Mach-Es should reach customers by around this time next year, and they’ll come with a choice of both batteries and electric motors. How that will work once Ford also begins to share Volkswagen's MEB electric car platform in Europe remains to be seen. It may have leaked last week, but here at long last is the official gen on Ford’s first-ever all-electrci crossover, the supposedly-Mustang based Mustang Mach-E.Īctually, its Mustang genes are only skin deep - although the engineering team (a small group of freewheeling designers and engineers, working under the codename ‘Project Edison’) got their way when it came to extending the front of the car, for styling reasons, what lies beneath the Mach-E is essentially the same as you’d find under the new Kuga, or for that matter the Focus.įord calls the platform GE2 - Global Electrified 2 - and it's the Blue Oval's first dedicated electric car chassis.
