Incorporating new EV architecture, the Mach E marks the first time the Mustang label is being used on a vehicle since the two-door pony carā€™s debut in 1964. As part of Fordā€™s $11 billion framework to develop 40 new all-electric and hybrid models by 2022, the pricing, performance and EV range of the Mach E is expected to parallel or surpass Teslaā€™s upcoming Model Y SUV.

Featuring a hands-free driver-assist system, comparable to Teslaā€™s Autopilot and Cadillacā€™s Super Cruise systems, – faster that the Porsche Macan Turbo, the Mustang Mach E accelerates 0-60 miles per hour in a mid-3-second range with an estimated 459 horsepower and 612lb.ft. of torque.

The all-wheel drive boasts exceptional handling and capability with front and rear motors distributing power to each individual wheel, perfect for every terrain including in the snow. Its palatial interior, coupled with a convenient and water-resistant front trunk, emphasizes Mach Eā€™s luxury and comfort. The trunk is also washable and includes a user-friendly drainage system.

Following its debut, Ford has since opened online registration and vehicle reservation for prospective buyers with a refundable $500 deposit.
