Ford: This is how the Mustang Mach-E drives 🎥

During a test drive at Ford's proving ground, the Mach-E shows what the Pony Car has to offer.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E can be ordered immediately with two battery options, with rear- or all-wheel drive, and in various performance levels starting at 49,650 Swiss francs.

Pony Car with the best of both worlds
At the beginning of the development process, there was one thought: "A Mustang with an electric drive - how is that going to work," the developers in Detroit asked themselves. After all, the model that rolled onto the market 56 years ago is the Americans' sports icon.

But the American engineers succeeded in doing what was actually impossible, and the end result is an electric Pony Car that combines the best of both worlds.

Generous space for occupants
The Mustang Mach E takes from the classic the elongated hood with a modified Mustang front end that transitions into a coupe-like space for passengers, ending with the three-piece taillights.

Under the body is the platform developed for the electric models, which offers generous space for the driver and four passengers plus luggage (402 liters).

Compromise between comfort and dynamics
During a drive on the Ford test track in Lommel, Belgium, with all conceivable roadway variants, the Mach E shows that the cooperation between the American and European developers has paid off and that the Mach E is ideally prepared for European conditions.

The chassis and steering have shed their American characteristics, and the result is a successful compromise between comfort and dynamics. At most, long bumps get the pony slightly out of step, but this is quickly corrected. Even on the pothole tracks in Lommel, the Mach E remains composed and avoids too clear feedback.

The steering works with European precision, and if the talent behind the wheel is overwhelmed and the rear end takes on a life of its own, the Mustang is easy to recover.

With all-wheel drive 580 Nm torque
The power (between 269 hp and 346 hp) is available from the start, and thanks to the beefy torque of 430 Newton meters (580 Nm for the all-wheel-drive versions) it takes just seven seconds to reach 100 km/h. The engine is also very responsive.

Even the basic version with rear-wheel drive fulfills the expectations placed on a Mustang. As a four-wheel drive car with a 346 hp engine (there is also a 269 hp version on offer), the Mustang confidently does its rounds and reaches a speed of 10 km/h after 5.3 seconds. The top speed for all variants is reached at 180 km/h.

Range between 440 and 610 kilometers
The company promises a range of between 440 kilometers and 610 kilometers, and charging times vary between 45 minutes from zero to 80 percent at a fast charger or just under five hours at a wallbox.

In city traffic, the Mach E can also be steered with a pedal in the strongest recuperation mode, which in turn improves the range.

The Mach-E-Pilot can choose between the settings Tame, Active and Temperamental, whereby you can already drive quite sporty with the Tame level. Unfortunately, this is at the expense of the range. But then there is a lot of driving fun.
