I don’t mind Ford making the Mustang Electric, I am bothered that it’s a SUV, as if we didn’t have enough of these anyways. The Mach e could have been proof that electric cars can be fun small sport cars that don’t cost a million bucks. Now it is just wasted potential. Imagine that design on a two door coupe not to replace the V8 but to add to the lineup. I would certainly love that Mach e. This one not so much!
@@anubhavroy2309 They were never going to produce a coupe.They have got a 2 door coupe that makes them money that has the tooling,production lines,parts...etc.The legacy makers are stuck with having to make new BEV cars which make little profit at moment as sales are low and costs are very high while needing to sell arguable more ice cars to pay for the r and d of said bev cars.
I think Ford should have revealed a 2 door sports car first, so everybody could get hyped about it and then after that release an suv. Just like Audi released the R8 first and gave the other models the same styling later on

@@jamesseay9943 yeah but they should have named it and badged it differently I saw another comment that said stallion or something like that would be pretty cool to have three horses lol
making a mustang electric powered does nothing to take away from the fact that the body/chassis is a mustang. making a crossover and putting a mustang badge on it is what makes it NOT a mustang. call it the mare or the stallion if you want to stick with the horse theme but the fact that it is an actual different vehicle before a power plant gets put in it makes it anything but a mustang.
I agree, this car just looks like a very nice SUV, not a mustang. I guess we will still have the normal muscle car for 6-8 years so I hope to get one before they go all electric.

@Ernst Boye 8kl well yeah. I was surprised to hear that the mach E sets a new industry benchmark at the temperature which it can start a charge at. It can start charging when it's "as low as" -15 out. As low as? That's above the average temperature in winter. Might be a problem.
There is a mechanical pusher inside that will help open the door (unlike a standard car), and the MME has been tested to -40 degrees, presumably in ice as well.
@Ernst Boye 8kl ooh, and the unsustainable pile of battery waste that will accumulate after 5-10 years when they don't hold a charge anymore. Fun! Let's hope manufacturers are planning easy replacement procedures.
Every time I watch Auto Trader reviews it reminds me that soon the world of cars as we know it is going to change forever. The mustang is a big reminder of this. Soon these cars like the mustang are only going to be seen online, in museums or if you have one. All these cars like the Porsche 911 and the Toyota GR Yaris are never going to continue again like they are now. The least Ford could have done with their mach-e is make it not one of those boring crossovers they are obsessed with but a sports car to remind us that the mustang still lives a bit.
Definitely one of the best looking EV's out there, combined with it being practical it's seems like an awesome car. I kinda get that people get upset that they called it a mustang (I agree that it's not a real mustang) but it's a smart move from ford to keep the name alive and I don't mind it at all. The only thing left is a good charging network and good range (but that counts for most EV's). Also props to AutoTrader. Videos are always really well made, informative and enjoyable to watch!
Great video Rory. Few things to note. The car is an early prototype so the parcel shelf is sorted for customer cars. The usability is a matter for personal taste but we have had great feedback from many customers so far. I gather BP Polar are rolling out a wave of 150kW chargers from here on so the 50kW ones will gradually be phased out (see what I did there). Quite why the Mach-E was not recognised at this one is something we are looking in to. All the best, Jay
There seems to be something about UK cloudy weather that makes this Infinite Blue color (I *think* it's Infinite Blue!) look much better than it does in some other photos and videos I've seen. I'm once again leaning towards choosing Infinite Blue for my own Mach-E Premium ER AWD that I'll be ordering sometime in the next year (don't need it yet). Thanks as always, Rory, for your reviews. By the way, the parcel shelf is supposed to be attached to the tailgate as a cargo *cover*, and it is flexible so it will deform over bulky cargo. (As for the snapped hook, blame your fellow reviewers who had this pre-production demo before you did. :) ) Also, the mirror (which is mandatory in the U.S.) extends far enough out that the front door handle is completely hidden in its existing aerodynamic flow, so the handle adds no additional drag. Finally, Ford is pushing out hands-free autonomous driving as an over-the-air upgrade sometime later this year; many models come with the necessary hardware already installed (including the IR sensors just behind the steering wheel, which only blink visibly on camera but not to the naked eye), and others offer it as an option.
At first, I was appalled at this new “Mustang”. Then I grew and appreciating for hybrids, hatchbacks, and electric vehicles. So now I really like this car/crossover. It’s really sweet if you don’t treat it like it’s a mustang.
@@Maul505 come on it’s just the name. If you love a person you don’t usually love them by their names you love them by the personality ... well unless you a freak then yeh.
@@Keoponloeu It's not just a name though. The mustang is one of the most iconic car names of all time and it's supposed to mean something. It would be like BMW making an SUV and giving it an M badge... oh wait
@The Bump Test Guy They're great suv's and I wouldn't turn one down. The problem is that M is supposed to be a performance badge and SUV's aren't built for performance they're built for families, middle-aged women and rappers.
Best review of a Mach E I've seen, really enjoyed the comparison to your ICE Bease Mustang & the Mach E. You rocked it, keep reviewing the Electric Cars, over 42% of us seek an Electric Car as our next vehicle, including this Yankee Bloke ! LOL
Wow, given I own an S550, I thought I hated this until your review. I’m also dipping my feet into the electric car world with a Nissan Leaf. It’s the polar opposite of the V8 manual Mustang, but as a family car, I love the fact it’s so quiet, so easy to drive, performance is so effortless and all the tech you need. There are some pretty annoying quirks - range is terrible, and yesterday our 12v battery went flat, it’s only 2 months old!! I love the look and interior of this Mach E. It couldn’t replace my ICE car but would be a nice addition.
In the model 3, you have volume control on the steering wheel, much better than the stupid implementation by Ford. The screen is not bigger, the screen area is smaller.
I really like your style in these reviews. Honesty, some humour and informed presenting. In I've watched a few now as I'm looking to get an electric car and find your style helpful so thanks.
This being called a Mustang weakens all other Mustangs, BMW have M editions, that are confusing same with AMG and Mercedes. All of this waters down the brand. Rory has got to be the best reviewer on You Tube currently keep up the good work
Lol Did you get stuck in the 80s? “Weakens all other Mustangs”? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA You weaken yourself with suppositions like these. Do you not understand sales and capitalism? 🤦🏼♂️
What's confusing with M editions of BMW and amg of Mercedes? It's just their sport versions of standard models, exactly like Ford St and Rs, Honda Type R etc...
@@Hao256 what I was saying is that you can get a BMW as an example the 428i with M trim or a Mercedes with an AMG trim not necessarily a full blown M car or AMG car hope this clarifies my point
Near the video at 15:59 My mind was like : Mustang Mach e : Am the future and you will be soon gone!😜😌 Yellow mustang : At least people Like me more 😉😛
How on earth can Ford name this EV a Mustang? :-((... It's like Rolls Royce reintroducing the Silver Ghost name, in a hatchback with a 3 cylinder, 900cc engine putting out 85 bhp!! It's just wrong on every account. And if this had been a BMW X6, Rory would criticise the lack of boot space due to the sloping roof line. ALL car reviewers do. And at 400 litres, it's still 150 short on the X6!! Though the X6 is larger and much more desirable. In my opinion!! :-))... But is it me? Doesn't that central display look to be an inch or two, too high!!?? :-\\...
Some controls just need to remain physical. I mean whats the point anyways, save €250 on a 50k vehicle, really? Plus it looks empty, I mean why not just cut the screen a little and add some knobs... Tesla really done changed the whole industry with their massive integrated ipads
@@morosis82 where tf do you live😂 I’m touching them all the time. One knob for the power of it one knob for the temperature. I even use them when I’m just trying to clear my windscreen from inside fog or whatever that stuff is.
@@blanco7726 Brisbane Australia. Always aircon, warmer for winter cooler for summer. My other half loves to turn the air up to gale force winds, I prefer to just start the car a tad earlier and usually have the windows down a tad when I first get going in the summer or its *very toasty*.
One of the advantages of having them on screen is technically they can be changed at will. It would be cool, for example, if I only use fan speed most of the time to just have a nice control for that and use the other space elsewise. A couple of extra taps to modify the temp each season is not a big deal.
400l boot?! My 2012 C class coupe has 450l. What is even the point of it being an SUV/crossover/whatever they’re called these days, if you can’t take it off-road, you can’t carry a bunch of stuff...?
Exactly, most of these are absolutely pointless. Their only positive point is a high riding position but again that only applies to the largest SUVs and not those stupid crossovers.
I say it’s all the automakers’ fault for starting to produce/sell these. It’s not like they tapped into a new market with them, they didn’t get a huge number of people who were fine using public transport to buy a car; and the people who were already in the market for a car would have bought a regular saloon/estate if these weren’t available in the first place. I really do despise the trend, especially for Europe, where streets are narrow(er), parking spaces small(er).
Great video. You’re production and delivery is excellent. I really enjoy you’re ease of delivery, all the while providing a ton of detail AND not sugar coating any issues you see. That being said, I really do not like the “Tesla Trend” of mounting a clumsy looking tablet for infotainment rather than integrated screens, although I understand that at this size it would be hard to integrate. However, I point to the Porsche Taycan as a benchmark in that regard, even if it is a few bills more...
This is slightly sportier than an escape EV would be. I think that they should have tried to create a new name for it. Something that worries me is that automakers are relying too much on their legacy names and not creating new great names that younger generations well aspire to own a car with that name.
Some month ago I was very sceptical about the Mach-E. But having watched a few reviews, I´m pleasantly suprised. I think it looks stunning and has a great Interior too. Adding the fact that a lot of RUclipsrs compliment it´s driving experience, I´m convinced that the Mach-E is an awesome vehicle. Also, I love AutoTrader reviews!
I don't like that ford used the Mustang tag to name it, when I think of Mustangs I invision a 2 door fastback or coupe, I definitely don't think of a suv... I agree with Marcus , Ford wasted a billion dollar deal by not shocking the World with Fords 1st electric motor in a wicked cool Mustang GTE ??
I wish they would change the name by simply dropping Mustang. Then I would love to have one in White with the black roof and black wheels, as the daily driver and a true Mustang V8 as my weekend beast!
🐎🏁Rory, I subscribed to Auto Trader because of your presentation qualities. I appreciate your honesty and being a fellow Mustang owner. The reality is Crossover sales are leading the way and this Mustang Mach E is here to save the day. Because of vehicles like this the Pony brand can live on. History is repeating itself; Mustang II
2028 is the latest end to the petrol powered mustangs actually according to the latest leak from a fomoco insider. Some places are now putting ice bans in place for between 2025-2035. Manufacturer's will get their products in line based on those same edicts. 🤔
@@lohithreddy6629 got any actual proof to your claim that an ev produces more emissions all thing's considered during it's production. Versus an ice powered vehicle. 🤔
@@delusion2987 redwoods recycling and other's are already recycling 100,000s of pounds worth of batteries. Redwoods materials run by jb streubel from tesla. Has already recycled materials from them and amazon for several years now. That company plans to scale up rapidly and is backed by some major movers n shakers. Should be interesting as in the Bloomberg piece recently released on redwoods materials. They claimed to be able to recover 90-94% off all the material used no matter what type of casing the battery came in. 🤔 One also cannot downplay how the grid is now improving annually either and will continue to ad more renewable energy. Thereby making each ev charging on it more efficient. Not to mention today's bevs can travel 20-30 miles on just the energy it requires to refine a single gallon of gasoline. Nevermind finding it, extracting it, transporting it, and storing it. Plus the infrastructure required and the inevitable leaks.👍🏻
You think Ferrari will use one of the names such as Dino, Mondial, 308 GT as their model names for a SUV electric? No they did not massacre these iconic model names on a high rider vehicle, it gets its own name Purosangue . Yes it's a Ferrari but it's not a high riding SUV Dino- E, or a 308 GT-E.
@@carlwarmington5325 Exactly!!! Ford simply should have called this the Mach E and not try to market it as a Mustang. Ferrari wouldn't call the new SUV a LaFerrari just as Lamborghini didn't call the Uris a Countach or Diablo.
People don't understand due to federal and state (CA) fuel emissions standards manufacturers have to commit to balancing out their fleet to produce cars like the 5.0 Mustang and a truck like the V8 F150. Ford is one of five automakers so far that has pledged to do this. It's also the reason the Mustang 2.3 L Ecoboost was developed and the 3.7 V6 was phased out. The reason they haven't phased out the 5.0 is that they can meet fuel emissions standards with a smaller 2.3 L and this Mach E helps out tremendously. It balances everything out. Basically, be happy about the Mach E if you're a Mustang fan.
when ford decided to build this beauty I decided that I'm mustang fan for life.the name should be shared with this mach e .never going back to camaros.oh wait I never bought a chevy mustang
That last roar of an IC engine It's an epic battle between the king and Challenger. And king knows his days are now numbered. But still,. He is the King at the moment.
I was waiting for A electric or hybrid Mustang with 600 + hp with amazing desing and sound a tribute to the legend , SUV is ok but a sports car is what we Mustang fans wants . I like the current mustang its amazing with design and sound . nice review Rory.Thanks !
sorry but no. awd 4 door suv ≠ 2wd 2 door coupe / convertible. Should have called it the thunderbird or something because the name is dead now, but not a mustang. Its a cool car, crap name
I agree with your line of thought... I think they crew it with the Mustang name, as a thunderbird it has a perfect ring to it since it's electric = thunder It needs a rebranding asap
Reality is ICE cars are on the way out. Ford obviously wanted to give their EV a boost but I expect there will be a high performance EV equivalent of the "real" Mustang coming along in the future to satisfy that part of the market.
The Mustang name will die soon if it doesn’t evolve with power trains. When combustion engines gone in the near future they can keep the sports car alive with this further developed power source that will out performs today’s Mustang.
@@layne4376 if you look at cars sales SUVs and crossovers are overtaking the market. Then sports cars sell even less than the economy cheap cars and electric looms closer each year to take all the market in the next decade or so. So yes these kinds of cars will be gone someday like the cars of the past GTO, fire bird , etc
@@shinaito well if that makes you change what makes a mustang a mustang. it shouldn’t be called a mustang imo Look at what Bugatti are doing I mean they are not making a suv and they are proud of their past unlike ford
Another great video from Rory, I'm a big fan but I must politely disagree on the mustang brand. Ford could have made a new name work with a bit of marketing effort. In my opinion they didn't because of the cost - a new brand would have been far more expensive
Rory, I didn’t know you had a manual V8 Mustang 😁 I love mine, it’s crazy but so much character. Not for the faint hearted as you say. I will have to get a camera and do a few videos in mine - bring on the road trips this year! Now to watch your video!
“Nobody wants an electric Ford Fiesta” Actually, that’s exactly what people want. The general population wants to get ordinary-looking vehicles that have clean power trains. People don’t understand why electric cars have to be outrageously expensive or outrageously styled. Stop gate-keeping EVs.
@@evanneiswanger But you don't need it in a car like that. I'm willing to bet that most people who own a 3-door MINI are not doing 300 mile journeys, or really anyone in the UK for that matter regardless of vehicle. The MINI is the perfect small, short-range EV because people are using them to pop to the shops and back, or commuting to a place of work no more than 30 miles away from home. Part of the conversion to EVs is about re-configuring the public's attitude towards how a car works. Sure, we're used to spending 5 minutes filling up and we know we won't need to fill up again for 400-500 miles. But an EV at 200 miles range is fine when you can 'fill it up' at home every night.
6:39 ppl r looking at it, shrugging, and buying teslas anyway. And the fact that us called Mustang it a huge turn off from the get go. The Mustang at heart is a sports car, and so whenever people hear the Mustang part, they don’t even need to hear the rest of the name to know it’s probably not for them, and then those who are into Mustangs but don’t do their research hear Mustang and they think of the sports car, but when they see the actual car, they see an SUV, which is a huge turn-off, and they ultimately walk away feeling very disappointed. It’s just a lose-lose situation that could b solved by giving it a different name, which is what most manufacturers do, because you’re starting fresh with a new name, which means you don’t run the risk of turning off your customers. The reason why the Mustang nameplate is such an iconic nameplate is because it’s a sports car, and when that nameplate is put on a different car, it starts a whole chain of confusion that isn’t present with other cars
I don’t mind Ford making the Mustang Electric, I am bothered that it’s a SUV, as if we didn’t have enough of these anyways.

Every time I watch Auto Trader reviews it reminds me that soon the world of cars as we know it is going to change forever. The mustang is a big reminder of this. Soon these cars like the mustang are only going to be seen online, in museums or if you have one. All these cars like the Porsche 911 and the Toyota GR Yaris are never going to continue again like they are now. The least Ford could have done with their mach-e is make it not one of those boring crossovers they are obsessed with but a sports car to remind us that the mustang still lives a bit.
Definitely one of the best looking EV's out there, combined with it being practical it's seems like an awesome car. I kinda get that people get upset that they called it a mustang (I agree that it's not a real mustang) but it's a smart move from ford to keep the name alive and I don't mind it at all. The only thing left is a good charging network and good range (but that counts for most EV's). Also props to AutoTrader. Videos are always really well made, informative and enjoyable to watch!
The Honda E is the best
Got a Mach 1 on order... would consider a Mach E as the family car.
"I don't know if I'm enjoying it..."
*laughs like a little kid*
i like that
Literally just asked a friend if this is a British thing. Why does he keep saying that while he's clearly giddy about it?
@@unclerandy2956 I think they used to do that in Top Gear too. Slag the car while clearly enjoying it. Let us know what your friend comes back with!
Great video Rory. Few things to note. The car is an early prototype so the parcel shelf is sorted for customer cars. The usability is a matter for personal taste but we have had great feedback from many customers so far. I gather BP Polar are rolling out a wave of 150kW chargers from here on so the 50kW ones will gradually be phased out (see what I did there). Quite why the Mach-E was not recognised at this one is something we are looking in to. All the best, Jay
That Mach-E is going to sell like hot pockets.
I dont think in south Africa this kind will work anytime soon as there is no charging points whatsoever
There seems to be something about UK cloudy weather that makes this Infinite Blue color (I *think* it's Infinite Blue!) look much better than it does in some other photos and videos I've seen. I'm once again leaning towards choosing Infinite Blue for my own Mach-E Premium ER AWD that I'll be ordering sometime in the next year (don't need it yet).
Thanks as always, Rory, for your reviews. By the way, the parcel shelf is supposed to be attached to the tailgate as a cargo *cover*, and it is flexible so it will deform over bulky cargo. (As for the snapped hook, blame your fellow reviewers who had this pre-production demo before you did. :) ) Also, the mirror (which is mandatory in the U.S.) extends far enough out that the front door handle is completely hidden in its existing aerodynamic flow, so the handle adds no additional drag. Finally, Ford is pushing out hands-free autonomous driving as an over-the-air upgrade sometime later this year; many models come with the necessary hardware already installed (including the IR sensors just behind the steering wheel, which only blink visibly on camera but not to the naked eye), and others offer it as an option.
This guy really does the absolute best car reviews. I’m a woman who has ZERO interest in cars, but I watch these videos.
I will keep my 2018 performance pack Mustang for now.
Regen is different in each drive mode and you can press 'L' on the PRNDL to give more regen in any mode.
This Guy deserved more, great review.🙏🏻
Do you guys not think This channel is so underrated
The quality is so good
Like the GT350 Grill setup on your car.
I like the styling, and I'm not bothered by it being called a Mustang.
Great review.
You and many others dont know what a mustang is hahaha.
Simple answer no not really, but like it or not it is the future.
@@A_slave_of_Allah_1444 because a proper BEV needs reengineering and not only placing an electric motor in it.
@@A_slave_of_Allah_1444 that would be amazing actually
At first, I was appalled at this new “Mustang”. Then I grew and appreciating for hybrids, hatchbacks, and electric vehicles. So now I really like this car/crossover. It’s really sweet if you don’t treat it like it’s a mustang.
I agree this car has grown on me, but the problem is that they've labeled it a mustang so we have to treat it like one and in that case it fails.
@@Maul505 come on it’s just the name. If you love a person you don’t usually love them by their names you love them by the personality ... well unless you a freak then yeh.
@@Keoponloeu It's not just a name though. The mustang is one of the most iconic car names of all time and it's supposed to mean something. It would be like BMW making an SUV and giving it an M badge... oh wait
@The Bump Test Guy They're great suv's and I wouldn't turn one down. The problem is that M is supposed to be a performance badge and SUV's aren't built for performance they're built for families, middle-aged women and rappers.
@AutoTrader you are the best car reviewer on youtube, man!
That cut at 2:30 just stunned me. He just looked so massive next to this thing that looks like an SUV
Best review of a Mach E I've seen, really enjoyed the comparison to your ICE Bease Mustang & the Mach E. You rocked it, keep reviewing the Electric Cars, over 42% of us seek an Electric Car as our next vehicle, including this Yankee Bloke ! LOL
I don't think I've seen any better Mach-E review. Thanks a lot.
Rory please do a review of your Mustang GT!!!
Wow, given I own an S550, I thought I hated this until your review. I’m also dipping my feet into the electric car world with a Nissan Leaf. It’s the polar opposite of the V8 manual Mustang, but as a family car, I love the fact it’s so quiet, so easy to drive, performance is so effortless and all the tech you need. There are some pretty annoying quirks - range is terrible, and yesterday our 12v battery went flat, it’s only 2 months old!! I love the look and interior of this Mach E. It couldn’t replace my ICE car but would be a nice addition.
'Vague Steering' - definitely a Mustang then
Glad you finally put YOUR Mustang in a video!!!
WTG bro! You're doing a great job with these vids 😎
That's not a Mustang, that's an SUV. Reminds me of when the pinstripe fairies at Ford tried to replace the Mustang with the Probe about 30 years ago.
I absolutely hate when car companies and motorcycle companies try to replace iconic powerful beasts with tamed house pets.
The ending 🔥🔥🔥
They really missed a chance to bring back the Probe. Who wouldn’t love an electric Probe?
Because it’s made in Mexico, it’s got the ‘stache!
My new favourite car review channel. Thanks mate. Best wishes from Australia
I'm not ready to let go of the V8
Lexus ain't
In the model 3, you have volume control on the steering wheel, much better than the stupid implementation by Ford. The screen is not bigger, the screen area is smaller.
Great camera work 👌🏽
I really like your style in these reviews. Honesty, some humour and informed presenting. In I've watched a few now as I'm looking to get an electric car and find your style helpful so thanks.
This being called a Mustang weakens all other Mustangs, BMW have M editions, that are confusing same with AMG and Mercedes. All of this waters down the brand. Rory has got to be the best reviewer on You Tube currently keep up the good work
Lol
Did you get stuck in the 80s?
“Weakens all other Mustangs”?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You weaken yourself with suppositions like these.
Do you not understand sales and capitalism? 🤦🏼♂️
What's confusing with M editions of BMW and amg of Mercedes? It's just their sport versions of standard models, exactly like Ford St and Rs, Honda Type R etc...
@@Hao256 what I was saying is that you can get a BMW as an example the 428i with M trim or a Mercedes with an AMG trim not necessarily a full blown M car or AMG car hope this clarifies my point
We're at least 20 years away from being electric all the way and you're mustang is very practical today
Near the video at 15:59
My mind was like :
Mustang Mach e : Am the future and you will be soon gone!😜😌
Yellow mustang : At least people Like me more 😉😛
If you are testing that where I think you are, I know those lanes very well and it’s a Great place to test the car out.
How on earth can Ford name this EV a Mustang? :-((... It's like Rolls Royce reintroducing the Silver Ghost name, in a hatchback with a 3 cylinder, 900cc engine putting out 85 bhp!!
It's just wrong on every account.
And if this had been a BMW X6, Rory would criticise the lack of boot space due to the sloping roof line. ALL car reviewers do. And at 400 litres, it's still 150 short on the X6!! Though the X6 is larger and much more desirable. In my opinion!! :-))...
But is it me? Doesn't that central display look to be an inch or two, too high!!?? :-\\...
Used to hate it when it first came out but starting to like it now 😂
I'll not get into the whole Mustang thing (again). I'll just note that climate controls on a touchscreen will never do for me.
Some controls just need to remain physical. I mean whats the point anyways, save €250 on a 50k vehicle, really? Plus it looks empty, I mean why not just cut the screen a little and add some knobs... Tesla really done changed the whole industry with their massive integrated ipads
See I don't get this argument. I almost never touch them and would prefer a decent automatic system.
@@morosis82 where tf do you live😂 I’m touching them all the time.
One knob for the power of it one knob for the temperature. I even use them when I’m just trying to clear my windscreen from inside fog or whatever that stuff is.
@@blanco7726 Brisbane Australia. Always aircon, warmer for winter cooler for summer.
My other half loves to turn the air up to gale force winds, I prefer to just start the car a tad earlier and usually have the windows down a tad when I first get going in the summer or its *very toasty*.
One of the advantages of having them on screen is technically they can be changed at will. It would be cool, for example, if I only use fan speed most of the time to just have a nice control for that and use the other space elsewise. A couple of extra taps to modify the temp each season is not a big deal.
Great unbiased review! Much appreciated.
400l boot?!
My 2012 C class coupe has 450l.
What is even the point of it being an SUV/crossover/whatever they’re called these days, if you can’t take it off-road, you can’t carry a bunch of stuff...?
Exactly, most of these are absolutely pointless. Their only positive point is a high riding position but again that only applies to the largest SUVs and not those stupid crossovers.
I say it’s all the automakers’ fault for starting to produce/sell these. It’s not like they tapped into a new market with them, they didn’t get a huge number of people who were fine using public transport to buy a car; and the people who were already in the market for a car would have bought a regular saloon/estate if these weren’t available in the first place.
I really do despise the trend, especially for Europe, where streets are narrow(er), parking spaces small(er).
Great video. You’re production and delivery is excellent. I really enjoy you’re ease of delivery, all the while providing a ton of detail AND not sugar coating any issues you see. That being said, I really do not like the “Tesla Trend” of mounting a clumsy looking tablet for infotainment rather than integrated screens, although I understand that at this size it would be hard to integrate. However, I point to the Porsche Taycan as a benchmark in that regard, even if it is a few bills more...
Lol.. ‘a few bills more’ 👌🏼😂
I own a 2015 V6 and all I have to say is.... why couldn’t this be a Ford Escape EV?!
This is slightly sportier than an escape EV would be. I think that they should have tried to create a new name for it. Something that worries me is that automakers are relying too much on their legacy names and not creating new great names that younger generations well aspire to own a car with that name.
Some month ago I was very sceptical about the Mach-E. But having watched a few reviews, I´m pleasantly suprised. I think it looks stunning and has a great Interior too. Adding the fact that a lot of RUclipsrs compliment it´s driving experience, I´m convinced that the Mach-E is an awesome vehicle. Also, I love AutoTrader reviews!
Can't handle that giant info screen. Give me a traditional layout.
I don't like that ford used the Mustang tag to name it, when I think of Mustangs I invision a 2 door fastback or coupe, I definitely don't think of a suv...
I agree with Marcus , Ford wasted a billion dollar deal by not shocking the World with Fords 1st electric motor in a wicked cool Mustang GTE ??
There is a FORD badge symbol in the top middle part of the windscreen ..
Its not shown on here I just know it exits as he stated there is no ford symbol anywhere.. just pointing it out..
Excellent video! Entire range of information, entreatingly presented, beautifully shot. Keep going like this
It's real because Ford says it is. But ignore the name. It's a great car.
I wish they would change the name by simply dropping Mustang. Then I would love to have one in White with the black roof and black wheels, as the daily driver and a true Mustang V8 as my weekend beast!
This is probably the best review I’ve seen on this vehicle. Funny that it’s from the UK on this iconic American brand.
Just loved it 👌🏼. Well done Ford
🐎🏁Rory, I subscribed to Auto Trader because of your presentation qualities. I appreciate your honesty and being a fellow Mustang owner. The reality is Crossover sales are leading the way and this Mustang Mach E is here to save the day. Because of vehicles like this the Pony brand can live on. History is repeating itself; Mustang II
Petrol mustang's will ne around for a while longer. They wont just vanish as if by magic. They will be around for quite a few decades still.
Yes and these people think that ev are the best things out there. They produce more emissions than a ice car while they are produced
2028 is the latest end to the petrol powered mustangs actually according to the latest leak from a fomoco insider.
Some places are now putting ice bans in place for between 2025-2035. Manufacturer's will get their products in line based on those same edicts. 🤔
@@4literv6 which
@@lohithreddy6629 got any actual proof to your claim that an ev produces more emissions all thing's considered during it's production. Versus an ice powered vehicle. 🤔
@@delusion2987 redwoods recycling and other's are already recycling 100,000s of pounds worth of batteries. Redwoods materials run by jb streubel from tesla. Has already recycled materials from them and amazon for several years now.
That company plans to scale up rapidly and is backed by some major movers n shakers.
Should be interesting as in the Bloomberg piece recently released on redwoods materials. They claimed to be able to recover 90-94% off all the material used no matter what type of casing the battery came in. 🤔
One also cannot downplay how the grid is now improving annually either and will continue to ad more renewable energy.
Thereby making each ev charging on it more efficient. Not to mention today's bevs can travel 20-30 miles on just the energy it requires to refine a single gallon of gasoline. Nevermind finding it, extracting it, transporting it, and storing it. Plus the infrastructure required and the inevitable leaks.👍🏻
Yet another 10 star review from the number one car reviewer just miles above anyone else
if people are hating this being a Mustang, I can't imagine when they see the Ferrari SUV
I kinda lost my admiration for Ferraris once they announced the FF tbh.
What are your thoughts on the DBX?
@@noahduffin5492 Im not a fan at all, but if thats what they need for aston to survive then i cant complain
You think Ferrari will use one of the names such as Dino, Mondial, 308 GT as their model names for a SUV electric?
No they did not massacre these iconic model names on a high rider vehicle, it gets its own name Purosangue . Yes it's a Ferrari but it's not a high riding SUV Dino- E, or a 308 GT-E.
@@carlwarmington5325 Exactly!!! Ford simply should have called this the Mach E and not try to market it as a Mustang. Ferrari wouldn't call the new SUV a LaFerrari just as Lamborghini didn't call the Uris a Countach or Diablo.
People don't understand due to federal and state (CA) fuel emissions standards manufacturers have to commit to balancing out their fleet to produce cars like the 5.0 Mustang and a truck like the V8 F150. Ford is one of five automakers so far that has pledged to do this. It's also the reason the Mustang 2.3 L Ecoboost was developed and the 3.7 V6 was phased out. The reason they haven't phased out the 5.0 is that they can meet fuel emissions standards with a smaller 2.3 L and this Mach E helps out tremendously. It balances everything out. Basically, be happy about the Mach E if you're a Mustang fan.
I don’t need to watch the whole video..
NO. That is NOT a Mustang.
NO. It DOESN’T deserve the pony badge.
The comment on the steering, I've found the exact same thing with the Fiesta and the Transit. I found it really wearing on a long drive.
I disagree on the driving dynamics. I find them really good.
Wow..... It looks amazing
when ford decided to build this beauty I decided that I'm mustang fan for life.the name should be shared with this mach e .never going back to camaros.oh wait I never bought a chevy mustang
That last roar of an IC engine
It's an epic battle between the king and Challenger.
And king knows his days are now numbered.
But still,. He is the King at the moment.
The volume knob..
*EVERYBODY LOOKS AT THE HURACAN
They did it to keep the name around forever, like the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
I was waiting for A electric or hybrid Mustang with 600 + hp with amazing desing and sound a tribute to the legend , SUV is ok but a sports car is what we Mustang fans wants . I like the current mustang its amazing with design and sound . nice review Rory.Thanks !
love your Yellow mustang .
sorry but no. awd 4 door suv ≠ 2wd 2 door coupe / convertible. Should have called it the thunderbird or something because the name is dead now, but not a mustang. Its a cool car, crap name
Now a re-released Thunderbird in EV form would be real nice, keeping the original look of course.
I agree with your line of thought... I think they crew it with the Mustang name, as a thunderbird it has a perfect ring to it since it's electric = thunder
It needs a rebranding asap
I like the interior, black with red stitching gives it a sporty look, a touch of class.
The Mustang brand stands to lose far more than the new platform stands to gain, Ford should have made this a new line entirely
Reality is ICE cars are on the way out. Ford obviously wanted to give their EV a boost but I expect there will be a high performance EV equivalent of the "real" Mustang coming along in the future to satisfy that part of the market.
That front moustache makes it looks like someone has given it a dirty sanchez
The Mustang name will die soon if it doesn’t evolve with power trains. When combustion engines gone in the near future they can keep the sports car alive with this further developed power source that will out performs today’s Mustang.
@@layne4376 if you look at cars sales SUVs and crossovers are overtaking the market. Then sports cars sell even less than the economy cheap cars and electric looms closer each year to take all the market in the next decade or so. So yes these kinds of cars will be gone someday like the cars of the past GTO, fire bird , etc
@@shinaito well if that makes you change what makes a mustang a mustang. it shouldn’t be called a mustang imo
Look at what Bugatti are doing I mean they are not making a suv and they are proud of their past unlike ford
Another great video from Rory, I'm a big fan but I must politely disagree on the mustang brand. Ford could have made a new name work with a bit of marketing effort. In my opinion they didn't because of the cost - a new brand would have been far more expensive
I would have much less of a problem with the car if they just shoehorned an electric motor in an actual MUSTANG this SUV is NO Pony car
Rory, I didn’t know you had a manual V8 Mustang 😁 I love mine, it’s crazy but so much character. Not for the faint hearted as you say. I will have to get a camera and do a few videos in mine - bring on the road trips this year! Now to watch your video!
“Nobody wants an electric Ford Fiesta” Actually, that’s exactly what people want. The general population wants to get ordinary-looking vehicles that have clean power trains. People don’t understand why electric cars have to be outrageously expensive or outrageously styled. Stop gate-keeping EVs.
As a Ford Fiesta owner: that's exactly what I want.
Mini Cooper SE isn’t a bad option. If the 110 mile limit isn’t a dealbreaker. It’d be nice to have one do 250-300
@@evanneiswanger But you don't need it in a car like that. I'm willing to bet that most people who own a 3-door MINI are not doing 300 mile journeys, or really anyone in the UK for that matter regardless of vehicle. The MINI is the perfect small, short-range EV because people are using them to pop to the shops and back, or commuting to a place of work no more than 30 miles away from home.
Part of the conversion to EVs is about re-configuring the public's attitude towards how a car works. Sure, we're used to spending 5 minutes filling up and we know we won't need to fill up again for 400-500 miles. But an EV at 200 miles range is fine when you can 'fill it up' at home every night.
6:39 ppl r looking at it, shrugging, and buying teslas anyway. And the fact that us called Mustang it a huge turn off from the get go. The Mustang at heart is a sports car, and so whenever people hear the Mustang part, they don’t even need to hear the rest of the name to know it’s probably not for them, and then those who are into Mustangs but don’t do their research hear Mustang and they think of the sports car, but when they see the actual car, they see an SUV, which is a huge turn-off, and they ultimately walk away feeling very disappointed. It’s just a lose-lose situation that could b solved by giving it a different name, which is what most manufacturers do, because you’re starting fresh with a new name, which means you don’t run the risk of turning off your customers. The reason why the Mustang nameplate is such an iconic nameplate is because it’s a sports car, and when that nameplate is put on a different car, it starts a whole chain of confusion that isn’t present with other cars
