Ford’s gamble on combining its historic pony car nameplate with the excitement of electric technology pays off in a big way with the all-new 2021 Mustang Mach-E. Ford designers hit the mark wrapping up its Electric Vehicle ambitions in a familiar Mustang package. The exterior of this 5 passenger, 4-door wagon screams 21st century cool and is full of sporty rolling curves, a simple front end accented by the mustang badge, sleek LED headlights beaming with sophisticated attitude, and a tight rear design highlighting recognizable Mustang style tail lights. Yes, Bravo Ford, the 2021 Mustang Mach-E is a very good-looking vehicle. There are a number of different options available when it comes to power. The extended range all-wheel-drive version we tested produces 346 horsepower and 428 pound-feet of torque and clocked in at 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds. We were very impressed by the raw acceleration for a crossover vehicle of this size. The pick-up was so intense it forced a smile every time you hit the go pedal. We can only imagine the crisp power that the 480 horsepower GT version will provide. There is also a more tame 266 horsepower option that still gets you to 60 mph in just 6 seconds. On the road, the Mustang Mach-E handles very well. Once out of the gates, your heart rate slows, that silly grin subsides and you loosen your grip on the steering wheel to enjoy a very comfortable and confident ride. The estimated cruising range is between 211 and 305 miles depending on the battery pack and type of electric motor you choose. Ford provides all Mach-E owners with fast-charging capabilities. The Ford mobile charger provides 30 miles of range per night with a 120-volt outlet and up to 80 percent of battery life overnight with a 240-volt outlet. You can also purchase online a Ford charging station. Once installed by certified electricians this station can add 32 miles per hour and recharge the battery overnight. Inside the 2021 Mustang Mach-E driver and passengers are provided a clean minimalist cabin experience. The dash has a cool digital gauge cluster and a super-sized 15.5 inch vertically mounted digital touchscreen that serves as the control center for the vehicle. Ford will provide ongoing over-the-air updates that will improve the system while adding new content. You can set and change the color of the ambient lighting, wirelessly charge your electronic devices while enjoying the scenic view above provided by the panoramic sunroof that keeps a good amount of the Texas sun and heat from entering the cabin. The 2021 Mustang Mach-E unlike its namesake provides plenty of cargo space behind the rear seats, nearly 30 cubic feet and double that with the rear seats folded down. That’s more than enough space for a grocery run, road trip or even a quick jaunt to the local home improvement store. The 2021 Mustang Mach-E starts at around $47,000. We highly recommend a test drive if you are remotely interested in purchasing an EV. By Driver Side Reviews
