It's great to see Vicky present in these videos. I remember the first few Autocar presentations and you could see nerves. I think she's one of the best presenters in the car world now. It's great to see, very enjoyable to listen to and super informative as usual. Great stuff!!
Really enjoy this review, Vicky always does a great review. I think this is going to be a very important car for Ford, they have done a really good job, it's not the best I get that but I think it's hit a sweet spot for many mid priced EV drivers with spec, style, comfort and practicality. Going to like seeing these on the roads and I dare say will be seeing alot of them.
I agree that £40k is WAY out of reach for the vast majority - but to say that 'all (EVs are) equally out of reach for standard families' is possibly not such a clear cut case. I'm not saying the following are ideal figures - merely a like-for-like type comparison... Most people now buy a new car on some form of PCP / lease finance package. Just as examples of potentially suitable family SUV transport - the Skoda Karoq 1.5 TSi DSG SEL SUV on 3 years / 5,000 miles per year / £2k deposit is about £215pm The Kia e-Niro SUV on 3 years / 5000 miles per year / £2,300 deposit is £260pm = a difference of £45pm. As 'typical school-run' cars, around town the Karoq does about 35mpg - over 5000 miles at roughly £5.30 unleaded = £63 petrol cost pm On top of that, Road Tax for the Karoq is £515 over the 3 years, whereas the e-Niro is £0. Finally, service charges are also considerably less for EVs, simply as there are so few 'consumables' to replace. So, on a monthly cost basis, EVs do stack up.
@@jonathantaylor1998 Agreed, I had an Ioniq EV for 4 years, 100k miles. Expensive on a lease due to the mileage, but actual running costs, cheap as chips. It's just when I hear £40k and £60k as good value, I scratch my head in wonder. Couldn't justify the cost of them, and wouldn't want to. I must be getting old, I'm starting to say things like "my first house was cheaper than that" and it was 😁
@@jonathantaylor1998 it’s not even like the Mustang Mach E is that expensive to buy. Many people just compare the most expensive EV to the cheapest petrol car, when actually they buy the mid level models of both, which are much more similar
Great review, however please please please can we get a review of the lower spec models ie RWD version, every review is top spec battery and AWD - it would be great for those who cant afford top spec to have that sort of review. Many Thanks
I don't have an issue with it being an SUV, but they should not have thrown the Mustang name on it. I have the same feelings about the Dart name on the 2016 econo-box.
Hi, I've just bought one from Perrys in Chesterfield. it comes on Monday. Got an ID4 at present. initial opinion is, its better made than the VW which is a surprise, and hopefully less software problems?
The front and rear is decent, the side profile with black roof floating design without door handles is aesthetically pleasing to look at. Everything this vehicle it does is very good, except the outstanding price/value proposition. Ford got this right.
Great review and great car, very impressive range, id choose the base model with rwd for more range, cant wait get one of these in 3 years once my pcp contract for current car ends 👌💚
0:53, “quite cheap at £40k for a family SUV”... I’m not sure I share your definition of cheap and good value compared to rivals - seems overpriced compared to Enyaq 4 or Ioniq 5.
Early models of the all-electric 2021 Mustang Mach-E have a battery issue that may leave owners struggling to start their vehicles despite its being fully charged, according to a technical service bulletin that Ford sent to federal regulators. ... The issue affects vehicles built on or before Feb. 3, Ford said. So far this Mustang Mach-E has been to the dealership for service to fix issues that the owners have found. Now the Ford dealer has told the owner that some of the problems are now “unfixable.” The Details Vehicles recalled: Roof: 13,544 Mustang Mach-E EVs built between Feb. 24, 2020, and July 18, 2021. Windshield: 17,692 Ford Mustang Mach-E EVs built between Feb. 24, 2020, and July 18, 2021. The problem: The panoramic glass roof panel and/or windshield may not have been properly installed, risking leaking and even detachment. The fix: Dealerships will apply additional urethane adhesive, then reinstall the roof panel or windshield. The repair will be done free of charge. Apr 9, 2021
I'm not actually a fan of that big information screen, I imagine it could be too bright and too big when your driving during the night, apart from that .... I'm ordering one.
Does look a decent effort from Ford, although I think the BMS still needs some work to hit that 150kw charge rate for more then a couple of mins, as ever never trust a claimed rapid charge time.
Take a look at, for example the "What Car" review. It gives advice on what tends to go wrong (diesel DPFs, dual-mass flywheel, manual transmissions) and discusses alternatives (e.g. Mondeo, Mazda 6, Passat, 3 Series)
I didn't want to like your review but, I did. I'm a big traditional Mustang fan so when they diluted the name with something they consider an SUV I wasn't impressed. I think this looks like very good value for money and something I might like to own. Just wish they hadn't used the Mustang name. Thanks Vicky!
Hardly anyone in the UK cares if it is called a Mustang, so long as the car is good to drive and own it will sell in spades. I bet the reviewer has never driven a Mustang before this one. I did, but it is not all it is claimed to be. American muscle cars are all brawn, no finesse, so they are not in truth missed by Europeans. Welcome to the new world of electric Mustang!
It would be very helpful if not only the maximum charging power is mentioned, but also which charging curve the car has. If you look at the results of other testers here, this is a big problem with the Mustang, the charging performance collapses very quickly and also falls very low, so that very little is left of the theoretical maximum range in everyday life. The rest is a matter of taste, I don't like it optically and you have to get used to the operation, as in every EV.
When it comes to the "sports car" feel, you wouldn't expect that from an Eco-Boost Mustang either. This is probably comparable to that. You need to wait to review the GT model, that's going to give you that "sports car" feel.
What is that slab of a screen, very Tesla like, just awful. They aren't going to sell many in this country for sure. No reflection on your presentation which was as professional as ever
So many great alternatives to poorly built Teslas coming this year. I put my name in for a Ioniq 5 AWD. Hope they don't get too greedy with the pricing.
All the reviews I’ve watched seem positive and it may well be a very good electric car, but a mustang it ain’t! Nothing but a marketing ploy. Credit to Vicky for her excellent review, but £60,000! Gt model will be released soon that should have Tesla looking over their shoulder.
Electric vehicles are just better. No noise, no emissions, less fuel costs, less maintenance costs. Gasoline and diesel are OLD polluting technology. So last century. Electric cars, electric trucks, electric buses, electric trash haulers, electric snow blowers, electric lawn mowers, electric snow mobiles, electric water craft, electric garden tools, electric mechanic tools, electric motor cycles, electric bicycles, electric scooters, electric farm tractors, electric construction equipment, electric delivery vehicles, ...... everything is going electric. No worries about starting after sitting for a few months. Gas always needs repairs.
Calling it a Mustang is false in all aspects. They just put it on there because they have no faith in what they built. Really says a lot. In my opinion.
This car is rubbish. When you think of the word Mustang you think of an incredible, two-door muscle car with a big V8 and an incredible sound, not an electric SUV. I do quite like electric cars but this one is just awful. I would’ve liked this car more if they just made it a regular Ford and not a Mustang.
£40K might seem 'cheap' vs i-Pace, EQC or E-tron but those cars are AWD and long range, so compare the long range AWD Mustang with them. At £60k the Mustang looks poor value compared with that competition as they are much more luxurious cars. Bottom line, Mustang is not an i-Pace/ECQ/E-tron competitor. In my opinion Mustang's competition is ID.4, Enyaq, Ioniq 5, Model Y and maybe E-niro / Kona.
Sorry but £60k for a Ford, that would be a no and sorry but it is not in the same class as a Jag or Audi. To justify that price it would have to be considerably better than the competition because it is always gong to be classed as the poor relation. There is a bit of a snobbery issue when you get to that price range. Jaguar, Mercedes & Audi are in there at the Golf Club, Sorry turning up in your Ford is not going to get you in the Members Lounge.
Like most British car reviewers, you like pretend that MG doesn't exist. The MG ZS EV is actually best value for money not this 65 thousand pound...thing. Typical British snobbery going on as usual. It's like you're actually insulted that the Chinese own the MG brand now. Ironic seeing as it's also highly insulting to call the car reviewed here a Mustang......but you'all love that!

You have to admit that pony on the front of that extended mustang like hood looks great.
First video I've seen since you disappeared from Driving Electric. Nice to see you back, I enjoy your no nonsense reviews. 👍
I was also wondering what happened to her. Just bumped into her on this channel. Great review as always.

Nicely presented, short with the right information and opinions, well done.
Good value at £60k!? Quite cheap at £40k!? Another world! Average income households can afford neither of those!
It's relative to other similar EVs
@@oliverstemp9132 Agreed. All equally out of reach for standard families.

Good review Vicky💫
I was wondering what happened to Vicky when the other channel turned all-male .. delighted to have found her here!

vicky parrott love your thoughtful reviews. keep up the good work
cheers.
At last, a Mustang that can be driven fast round corners!
Then you know absolutely nothing about the Mustang GT350R or the GT500 then... Okay.
The uk loves Ford’s
Not bad Ford At least it doesn't have any battery fire risk issue Dandy review, glad to see again Vicki
'More upset with it being an SUV than being electric': Simply could not have said that better - perfect sentiment and absolutely bang on.
I don't have any SUV issues, people that so are stuck in the past.
@@oliverstemp9132 Plus there will be an electric Mustang coupe in a few years so those who don't like the SUV will have a choice.
I don't have an issue with it being an SUV, but they should not have thrown the Mustang name on it. I have the same feelings about the Dart name on the 2016 econo-box.
Huge screen useful but intrusive. There should be a way to lower the screen when you don't need it.
Does the video do that colour justice in your opinion or did it look better in person?
Great review - why does this car remind me of the Canyonero from the Simpsons !?

This is much more high tech though
Difference is it is more performance orientated
Brill review as always xx
Vicky is classy AF, great review.
Wow, the central panel screen sits awkwardly! what a design it is ??
Just ordered one today 😄

I enjoyed watching the Video Review
They have the GT version coming out for alittle more thrilling fun. Nice car would like to have one for in town driving.
I'm not actually a fan of that big information screen, I imagine it could be too bright and too big when your driving during the night, apart from that .... I'm ordering one.
Why is it 60,000 pounds (80,000 USD). In US the same spec is 47,000 USD (34,000 GBP). What am I missing?
Need to shoot your slow-mo shots at a higher frame rate!
Does look a decent effort from Ford, although I think the BMS still needs some work to hit that 150kw charge rate for more then a couple of mins, as ever never trust a claimed rapid charge time.
Claimed time 10% to 80% is 45 minutes. Ford seems to have nailed that. Peak charging speed is not very useful, it's all about the average.
There will be an OTA update that will improve the charging curve and the infotainment features and response!
no boot?
am planning to buy a used 2009 vauxhall insignia manual.. Any advices?? Will be appreciated.. Thank you
Ill give you solid advice. Don’t.
@@wayfaringcookie8142 thank you so much for your response... So it will be a bad choice to buy that model?

Interesting informative review, but I'm not a fan Good colour scheme tho ,, cheers

You need to wait to review the GT model, that's going to give you that "sports car" feel.
Love Ford sexy Mustang mach-E.
All round brilliant car. Idea very Ford like too
Quite cheap starting at £40000 😱🤔🙄. Some people don't live in the real world.
An equivalent Tesla Model Y will set you back £60,000, so this is really cheap.
for the range and target audience, it is *relatively* cheap
AWD EXTENDED RANGE GETS 277 MILES IN 2022...Also if it wasnt a MUSTANG it wouldnt look as GREAT AS IT DOES...
What is that slab of a screen, very Tesla like, just awful. They aren't going to sell many in this country for sure. No reflection on your presentation which was as professional as ever
Agree Ford could have done better with the dash styling, the rest of the car looks good
Amazing how mobile phones are banned and considered such a big distraction, and yet manufacturers fit massive screens like this. Bonkers.
They will be very popular in the UK
@@oliverstemp9132 sorry mate you are so wrong in my opinion, no disrespect.
Only producing 50 000 units, so yes, few sales in UK with most sales going to Europe for compliance market.
Very nice review! But I don’t think this will be a Tesla killer.
Simple Gorgeous! It's beautiful. This is the Tesla killer that everyone in the world is talking about, correct?
Why do all you motoring Journalists call the Mustang Emblem a *Pony!?* That's sacrilegious.🤦🏼♂️😮 🤔
It is called a *Horse!* 🐎
Usual professional presentation about the car not the presenter.
So many great alternatives to poorly built Teslas coming this year. I put my name in for a Ioniq 5 AWD. Hope they don't get too greedy with the pricing.

Doh..! So sick of speed and horsepower that charges a car around corners at speed. Bonkers... we just want a car that does the job as normal.
Sorry,but at Tesla prices,I think I would rather have a Tesla.
Tesla are so boring, if rather have this
Sorry but this is shockingly bad from Ford 👎🏽
Ugly, ugly, ugly. Hate that they disparage the Mustang name every few years. Ford never learns.
