This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E Gt Performance SUV. The Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition in Cyber Orange This is the extended range model with a 91 kWh battery and e-AWD. It has 480 horsepower and 634 lb-ft of torque with 418 km/260 miles of EV range. It goes 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds. TheFord Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition features a carbonized grey grille with an illuminated pony badge, GT badging, 19” front brakes with red painted Brembo calipers, e-latch doors, a black painted roof and 20” wheels. It also features a hands-free foot activated power liftgate, pony projection lamps and black painted side-view mirror caps. This model pushes the boundaries of what an electric vehicle offers performance wise giving you an exciting experience behind the wheel with the Magneride damping system and adaptive suspension for improved handling and performance. The Mach-E GT is engineered to deliver exceptional torque, grip and handling, it certainly doesn’t disappoint.The Mach-E GT comes standard with a 15.5” touchscreen with Sync 4A which is intuitive to use, a 10.2” digital driver display, 10-speaker B&O sound system, wireless charger, a heated steering wheel, driver seat memory, power folding mirrors and 8-way power front heated sports seats with ActiveX grey upholstery. These seats are extremely comfortable; they cradle your body and offer excellent thigh support for those long trips. There are two features the Mach-E is missing, ventilated front seats and heated rear seats, they are not available on any trim. BlueCruise, Ford’s hands-free driving offering is available in the Ford Co-Pilot 360 Active 2.0 package for $2,545 CAD. The package also includes, active park assist and a 360-degree camera with split view and front washer. When you add this package in Canada, the panoramic sunroof is automatically added for an extra $1,895 CAD. Unfortunately, I am not able to access the specs/trims on the US website, due to high demand, the 2022 Mach-E is sold out for and Ford is no longer taking orders. Limited orders may be available at select dealerships.The 2022 Mach-E GT Performance Edition starts at $83,495 CAD/$61,995 USD.
Price as tested: $88,685 CAD

LOL...Zach's rants and the banter between you both absolutely MAKES your videos and that is before we even get to your consistently excellent content. You both are always a 'have to watch'.
Totally agree with Zach . I cannot even think of buying a decent hybrid or EV with a $50,000 budget for a car. So electrification is only for the elite still.
In two years, they have depreciated almost 50%. 2024, you can now get these for low $50K.
How about offering the rebate only on models under 35k, to encourage the development of EV's that the masses can afford? I'm with you, why subside those who can afford expensive vehicles?
Thank you. That's exactly what I've been saying.
You know there are EV’s under 35K. You just don’t want them.
Almost no EV in Canada for under $35k.
@@Trades46 the Chevy Bolt is pretty close.
Good luck with that pricing. Once environmentalists find out how these batteries are actually made the EVs will get even more expensive.
This thing is a beast. A friend has a GT performance and I have driven it several times. Good review guys.
The door mechanism was tested in northern Canada in the middle of winter and they purposely let the car get frozen and the doors still opened because there is a shaft that pushes the door our and does not allow a person to close the door on their fingers after it is pushed out. Ford rated the doors down to -40F.
I agree with the rant. If you can afford a car over $50K you should not be getting a government rebate. Thanks for the review.
It’s to incentivize buying a cleaner vehicle
Here in the States, state governments are charging a fee on top of your registration for driving hybrids and EV’s because you aren’t paying towards the outrageously high gas tax. Here in leftist Illinois it’s $100 on top of your annual registration.
As fuel consumption goes down, I am sure a road tax is coming to Canada as well.
Andrea's shoes!!! 😍 great review - great fashion - great review!!!!
Not to mention the tights. :) Come for the review, stay for Andrea's beauty and great fashion.
I agree paying some one $5000 to buy a high end vehicle is ludicrous. Electric vehicles are rich people toys. If the government really wants to reduce the carbon foot print provide an incentive to consumers to purchase small affordable commuter vehicle including gas hybrid and BEV’s
That's one of the best designed SUV's I have ever seen. Beautiful lines.
Really cannot get into the whole 'in your face iPad tablet stuck to the middle of the dashboard' look. I know a lot of vehicle manufacturers mount their touchscreens this way but it's just not for me. I much prefer the touchscreen to be integrated as part of the dash, like it is in the Hyundai Palisade. Great review as always Andrea and Zac. 👍
OEM’s are forced to do it by car reviewers. Notice the first 30s of the interior discussion in this review was devoted to screens. People are now conditioned to constantly be staring at screens.
Zack, careful with the rebate rant... big brother is watching and I'm with you 1000%.
Great review. 2 things: 1.) I've never had an issue with the door handles in teh frozen winter months. 2.) I also have the knuckle vent issue (Many won't notice because it definitely depends on when those vents are actually activated versus the foot wells).
Great review. Really appreciate the metric conversion of the stats, Zack :)
I'm 100% in agreement with Zach on his EV rebate rant.
The cool thing is the availability of the Magneride suspension system, but honestly the Mach-E is best enjoyed in the Premium ER AWD trim. It is at least $15k less and at 346hp it has more than enough power, not to mention the 60km more than the GT.
That screen looks weird mounted vertically IMO. I agree about cold air on the knuckles….our CX5 is the same. 😕
Finally a new EV hatch with a rear wiper! A huge safety bonus in terrible winter conditions.
No cold air on knuckles. I have the same issue as Zack. Also, the 10" display is viewed differently between you two because of height. Great work you two!
Love the GT & thank you for the review! I just couldn't say no to the $5K government rebate and stayed with a premium Ext AWD. Going to watch the EV market mature then jump into a GT 2nd go around!
agree with you on these tax rebates for the expensive models. it's ridiculous.
I love Zach’s rebate rant. Like clock work. But i would still take advantage of course…enjoy your guys content. Well done.
What I think blows is that the federal rebate is only for all-electric cars and trucks which means you have to own a single-family home and be able to afford to purchase these expensive vehicles, and those are the last people that need a tax break. What about the people who are renting and living in apartments? Why don't they extend this to hybrids?
Zach's ranting is all legit. Yes, the federal rebate, or the "tax credit" in the US, is totally skewing the price. The manufacturer would just raise their EV price to eat up whatever government offered. However, same as Zach, I was unhappy that the US government is taking my tax money to give 7500 to the EV buyers, when I cannot even owe the government 7500 each year to earn all of them back. We went with the ID4, because VW is the only one willing to work that 7500 credit into their lease offers. And with the lease-to-buy option, we are getting about 5500 back, still more than what I can owe the government.
This car was crazy, the acceleration and speed made my head spin. That orange is sexy and killer! The suspension was super stiff but with the performance it’s absolutely needed.
Love the vehicle. I'm glad they went for a modern but not too overstyled look like many EVs have. It stands out enough but doesn't look outlandish and of course the performance is there to back things up. Great review.
I'm with Zack. Government shouldn't be subsidizing expensive vehicles for the working wealthy. It's absurd.
The build quality of this is great! Built to last and stand the test of time. Brutally fast and refined when you need it to be. Can’t stop driving the MME…
Andrea with the best boots yet ! Oh yea, the car is ok……..I just don’t like the huge vertical Tesla screen 👎
But those boots !!! 😃👍 lol
Loved it …..great review….I was looking forward to this review and is not disappointed 👍
Surprised by the “cold knuckles”…I would have pegged Zach as the kind of driver who dons leather driving gloves as soon as he gets behind the wheel.
You guys are really the best !
Most of us look forward to those rants !!! On Canada !! go Zack....
I love this video and the chemistry between you two. Many people need to see more of this as an example of many types of relationships out there.
I saw a white Mach E at the dealership where I live in Ontario. It was already sold so we couldn’t drive it. It is a very beautiful vehicle. It had an exquisite-looking interior. It’s something you definitely want to see in person, guys & gals.
However, trunk space is a thing I strongly consider and its trunk space is not practical enough for me.
Thanks. :)
Zack says who needs a vehicle with this much power. Andrea gives a look like uh me
I like your comment as a Cayenne owner and Porsche enthusiast Zack... "I don't know why anyone needs a car this fast!" :)
The depreciation on these is crazy. In two years they deprecated almost 50%.
That green skirt.👀
Zack, agree with you. Who needs that much power? As for the federal rebate, it is for sure that the price will go up. Only the rich will be able to buy those electric suv!
I think you guys were way too happy reviewing this one. Loved the review.
What a great review. I agree with Zack - there are few things worse that frozen knuckles. Its great that Ford can build a good EV but, seriously, $90,000!!!! I also agree with Zack about the subsidies - the total in BC is $8,000. I doubt that anyone who can afford $70K for a car needs a rebate.
I absolutely agree with Zack on the rebate and commercial EV rant. And this Mach-e is kinda cool. But pricey! And… by default isn’t the Mach-e a car? A Ford Mustang is a “car”… so shouldn’t the rebate be capped/defined as such? Meaning that it, being a ‘Mustang’, it should ‘car’ rebates should be applicable, not SUV caps. That aside, it is still a cool EV, perhaps one of the coolest. Thanks for the video.
The designation if it's a car or an SUV or whatever doesn't come from the name of the car. Is a Porsche 911 the same as the Taycan?
I would say no to the GT as it's only 5 seconds of power boost. The battery pack will overheat if not reduced. A standard model Y can outrun the Mock-E GT once the 5 seconds limit kicks in. It's not worth the extra $10,000 for a better suspension and seats. The Mock-E Premium is the best value for your hard earned cash. Battery heat management is a problem in high temperature climate areas. In the northern areas with colder climates, the Mock-E suffers power drain from no heatpump and running heaters. Still, I really like the Mock-E. I'm leaning towards the extra range all wheel drive battery pack. I will probably replace the wheels and tires within a few days. Also, the insurance should be cheaper than the GT model. Just my non ownership opinion. Now that the price has dropped, I'm leaning towards ordering one in all black. In the future, should Ford add a heatpump, then I would trade up. I really don't want a Tesla as they are becoming so popular that they are not anything special. I do like Tesla's design, but I prefer the Mock-E style.
Have been looking forward to the GT performance Ford Mach-E Andrea. Quite fast which is why Zack looked frightened again lol I wouldn't be keen with air on the nuckles but cab understand Andrea's point too.
You are right about that government rebate increasing the price of the base models.
Zach's comment "who needs this much power" is spot on. Autoline just did a AAH show on BEVs, and they had the same comment. They even postulated that putting too much unexpected performance in certain BEVs will surprise unprepared owners and possibly lead to "boo-boos".
I agree. I know Tesla wanted to make a name for itself by proving its cars could be more powerful that an ICE vehicle. So what? Where can you actually drive these things and enjoy the power? In my opinion too many car companies are spending too much time cloning Tesla. A $40K Mach-E with decent power and range will result in much more market share that $90K cars with goofy interiors and iPads glued to the dash.
I disagree. The same can be said about ICE vehicles. Why limit the capability of a vehicle because some people who may be unprepared? You don't have to stomp on the throttle when you're driving. I have the Mach-E GT and I enjoy the performance in the city as well as highway driving.
@@lvlionsfan5492 when people are paying $2+++/litre of gas and the EV manufacturers are making us wait a year or more for cars it hard to understand why they waste time building mega-performance rockets that can never be used to 1/2 of their potential.
"Drea"?????
Trust me it's you, a little bit Mustang but it's definitely you. 😍
Is the five second limiter still in place for the performance models?
Almost $90K for a family SUV 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️ what young family can afford a car payment of $1500 a month, when house prices are thru the roof along with everything else….. I feel for this next generation trying to make a living and raise a family in Canada 🇨🇦
The marketing department missed the talking point of Mach-E using parts made by Continental in Russia.
Best and honest rants. Agree
Love Zach’s rants
"I don't know why anyone needs a car this fast." Says the guy who drives a Porsche 911!!
Zack you don't have to drive it fast to enjoy it.
Why would I pay $74,590 for a used standard range model 3 when a brand new Model 3 Long Range is $71,990?
You guys are probably my favourite auto journalists, consumer reports meets throttle house
Thank you so much!
Zack and Andrea both are journalist. That's why they are avery professional when they are reviewing the vehicles. So therefore their opinion are very reliable.
Zach sounds like he's doing his best Doug Ford impression on this rebate lol! I agree, in principal, but assuming that someone who can afford a $70k car is rich might not be fair. We all know how a $70k car is really nothing more than a $550 monthly payment, over 80 months with a down payment. I think we should incent people to go electric. Perhaps the rebate is not the best way to go about it, but I think criticizing policy is the easy part...presenting a viable option is where things get tough ;).
Great content, as usual.
I hope you were being sarcastic about 80 month payments. Who finances a car for that long? The problem I have with the rebate from the Canadian government is that it is only $5K Cad when the US is getting $7.5k USD for the same vehicle.
@@jcsdesign I was being semi sarcastic about that. You think people are financing cars for 24 or 36 months these days? They want more car than they should be driving (not dissimilar to what's happened in the housing market) so they'll finance over a ridiculous term to keep their monthly payments low.
I agree re: the rebate. Unfortunately, here in Ontario our Premier disagrees with any rebate incentive at all. He thinks only fat cats drive electric cars while he's chauffeured around all day in his Chevy Suburban.
Totally agree with Zak, if you can afford a $70k car you don't need a rebate.
Gorgeous! Only the Aston DBX looks better..
Hate, hate, hate the giant iPad Pro in the middle. Same with the Explorer.
Same here. I just cannot get into this whole 'in your face iPad tablet stuck to the middle of the dashboard' look at all. I much prefer the touchscreen to be integrated as part of the dash, like it is in the Hyundai Palisade for instance.
I love Zac’s rants 😂😂
Sounds like a Karen.
Winnie the Pooh yellow. Great review and explanation of the rebates.
Wow only 100k out the door - so much fun i love it, will take 10 of these.
Hey, when you find a bargain you gotta take advantage of it. Lol
😏 comrade Zach… ready to get the bourgeoisie
Came here for the car, stayed for the legs
amen with the rebates, why would I subsidize someones 70k mach e?
No cold air on my knuckles and no gimmicky door handles..😃
Those doors have sufficient foot pounds of force to overcome ice, I believe I did see someone try to keep the door forced closed and was unable to overcome the opening force.
The mache e select now qualifies for the federal rebate since they upped the price requirement to 55k
and the luxury tax has also moved to $75,000.00 I just checked as I was looking at the XC40 Recharge Ultimate! And we are getting your Carbon Tax, so buy an EV and you will not be paying anymore for the rebate!!! Get off using the Dino Juice and get with the BMW IX50 I just love that car, a Tesla Model X killer!
I'd wait for Ioniq 5 N or EV6 GT.
I ageee with Zachary, rebate for individual transportation is like sponsoring the owners ride when clearly the owner can afford that ride, dah!
Agree why ask for rebate if u can afford 70 k car..I can't afford a 30 k car
I am with Zack on the rebates. And we here poor people trying to buy a used gas car for 10k.
Rich people pay way more taxes than poor people. So maybe JT wants to cut them some slack when they buy luxury vehicles?
Well done choosing the hot topic ;)
Great funny video Andrea! It’s so pricey tho! It’s almost like model Y’s price.
"Cold-knuckles" needs a yoke 🙂
It's not really a rebate, it's a deduction off your gross income amount. They don't send you that "rebate" in the mail. In the US , it's $7500 deduction.
I've had mine for 2 months now. I don't have A/C knuckle blowing issues at 10&2.
I'm with Zack, I hate the new federal rebate program, why would we, the taxpayers, subsidize an individual's "luxury car" instead of investing in more public transit initiatives. And of course manufacturers will take advantage of this and set higher prices.
Nice car boi!
@motormouth Will you do a Polestar 2 review?
Mustangs are gorgeous cars. I have loved all their models since the 60s
This woman is fine !
I total agree why the EV rebate $5000 for riches while I still driving my 20 years old vehicle due to too much taxes.
I don’t want cold air blowing on my knuckles
Nice watch Zach! Orange face is very eye catching. What's the make of your watch?
Vintage Seiko 5 called a UFO
Nice review & gorgeous vehicle but need WAY more range for my taste. Thanks,
That's a cool car...it is. Many practical features and good looks.
How's Mr S at 'getting these kids off the lawn'?
...if only I could tell how he felt about those rebates.
Get off my lawn!
4:00 isn't it ironic that you talked about potholes and the vehicle had a "tabarnak" plate :P
True
Zach, gets it: the government shouldn't be giving incentives. It DOES skew the market. Keep ranting, Zach.
Hello Andrea is it just me or does Zack seem a little bit uncomfortable when you drive especially when you take off in the beginning of the videos?
Zack: turn off the vent between the center screen and steering wheel.
Andrea I like your outfit I like the black tights
I can not hear you over that vintage seiko sports watch.
Ford has to Nuckle under your recommendation, get with the ergonomics Ford, who wants cold hands!
Wait ! Kia EV6 GT is coming soon. Faster than Porche.
Not the greatest number in distance.
Put this on the track head to head against the ICE Mustang GT and then try to call the electric version a Mustang without vomiting...
The rebates are essentially funds shifted from O&G companies to EV adopters to accelerate the inevitable shift. If we didn't do it, the US would get ALL the shipping EVs destined for North America as they get up to US$15,000. Also, many (most?) western nations offer similar incentives.
The US being one of the largest CO2 emitters needs EVs, along with China, India, and Russia. The Canadian government shouldn’t be so concerned yet. And this point they’re just giving our money to the wealthy. Eventually there will be enough supply that automakers will send them our way.
@@marclangman4836 Canadian consumers are ordering EVs by the literal boatload. I'd rather be ahead of the curve rather than wait for some "eventually" as you suggest. Quick, quiet, zero tailpipe emissions, and no line ups to refuel as 90+% of recharging can happen overnight at home.
Would be soooo much better with roof that opens.
Nice EV, Ford.
I feel bad for knuckles I gotta say…
