If 5 years ago someone would say that the Ford Mustang will release a SUV, and even an electric one, few would believe it, but they let it out.

Appearance

The Mach-E body is designed in the best tradition of the Mustangs. At least the front part completely copies the latest flagships. The rest also did not disappoint. In front of us is a squat with a sloping roof electric crossover and no less recognizable rear with tiger optics.

To understand that this electric car is not difficult. The grille has a traditional visor with a signature emblem. The shape and pattern of the optics, plus the massive wings on the sides immediately declare that this is not just a walking crossover.

From the interesting — a panoramic roof with UV protection, protection of wheel arches and body kits. And, of course, a charging socket neatly embedded in the front wing.

At the same time, the dimensions are rather modest, given that we have a pure American, where everything is a little more than in the rest of the world.

Salon

Inside, Mach-E meets a minimalist cabin with small associations under Tesla. Strict torpedo without a visor peculiar to everyone. Instead of traditional tidy small elongated screen. Instead of the central panel, a 15-5-inch vertical screen with a turn on the driver.

Under the screen, a deep failure with access to two cup holders. After which, almost at the armrest there is a small panel with a transmission washer. Leather chairs migrated from Mustang sedans.

The same recessed, with sports architecture. In general, nothing outstanding. In the salons, the Americans were never strong at the Mustang in this regard is no exception.

Competitors

Competitors will naturally be represented by electric crossovers.

Given the rather modest price tag for the base by today’s standards, the opponents were:

new from Audi — Q4 e-tron,
Model Y from Mask,
followed by a safe Volvo XC40 Recharge,
of course Jaguar I-Pace.

Price and sales start date

Unfortunately, the electric car will appear on roads only at the end of 2020 — the beginning of 2021. However, the price tag has been published. 2.86 million rubles will be requested for the basic version of the cross-coupe, GT will be the most expensive.

Ford will ask for almost 4 million rubles for it.
