Ford Mustang Mach-E Review & Prices

Look past the name, because the Ford Mustang Mach-E has almost nothing to do with the legendary Mustang coupe. It’s an electric SUV that looks great, has a spacious interior and is sporty to drive, but it’s a bit uncomfortable around town and has a smaller boot than some alternatives.

While the Mustang Mach-E may be the polar opposite of its petrol-powered coupe counterpart, there’s certainly a family resemblance in the way it’s styled. It’s a bit like a fancy SMEG fridge or Airstream caravan, with clear design links to the past but in a brand-new package.

You might cross shop it against the BMW iX3, Kia EV6 and Tesla Model Y, while the Audi Q4 e-tron and Q6 e-tron are available if you prefer to fly under the radar, as is the Ford Explorer.

None look quite as muscular as the Mustang Mach-E, though. The big haunches over the rear wheels, bonnet bulges and sloping roofline all look dramatic, while aggressive headlights and grille, pert rear end and classic three-bar taillights are retro without looking kitschy.

The GT is even sportier with its aggressive bumpers, but the Rally pack comes with an enormous roof spoiler, motorsport-inspired alloys and driving lamps in the blanked off grille. Oh, and you can have it in luminous yellow with racing stripes. Subtle.

Aside from the sprinting horse on the steering wheel, there’s nothing retro about the Mustang Mach-E’s cabin - aside from the funky sound bar in the dashboard which mimics the styling of a 1960’s Mustang.

You get an enormous, portrait-oriented 15.5-inch screen in the middle for the infotainment and heater controls, as well as a 10.2-inch driver display. While the infotainment is a bit annoying to navigate, the climate controls have a shortcut bar and there’s a volume knob on the screen which makes life a little easier.

There’s plenty of space in the Mach-E and it’s easy to find a comfortable driving position as the seats are highly adjustable. There’s a lot of storage space in the centre console and door cards for odds and ends, too. Back-seat passengers have plenty of headroom and legroom, but can’t slide their feet under the front seats if they’re set quite low. The 402-litre boot is smaller than you’ll find in alternatives, but there’s also a bit of underfloor storage and a handy 81-litre front boot.

You get a selection of electric motor and battery combos to choose from, and range varies from a claimed 292 miles in the rear-wheel drive Select to 373 miles in the rear-wheel drive Extended Range. The GT and all-wheel drive versions sit in the middle, but you’ll struggle to get near the claimed range in the real world.

Around town the Mach-E isn’t the best electric SUV going. The front pillars are chunky and a bit intrusive while the thick rear pillars limit your view behind, but it’s the jiggly ride comfort and spongy brakes that are annoying to deal with. The Rally pack is more comfortable thanks to its softer suspension, but the brakes are still hard to judge.

It’s more comfortable on the motorway as the Mustang Mach-E accelerates briskly and settles into a cruise well, it’s best on a twisty road where there’s remarkably little body lean and the car feels agile. The steering is somewhat vague, though, which spoils the fun a bit.

The Mustang Mach-E kicks off at just over £42,000, making it a little more affordable than the Tesla Model Y and noticeably cheaper than the BMW iX3, Audi Q4 e-tron and Q6 e-tron are far more expensive, too, but before you consider the Mustang Mach-E a bargain it’s worth noting that the Kia EV6 is more affordable.

Entry-level Mustang Mach-E Select models come with the same 15.5-inch touchscreen as the rest of the range, but Premium models step things up with Bang & Olufsen speakers, plusher interior trim and adaptive LED headlights.

Both look a little weak compared to the GT though, with its aggressive bumpers, sporty 20-inch wheels and red brake callipers. The Mach-E GT Rally doesn’t look as sleek, but the white, motorsport-style wheels with chunky tyres, racing stripes and enormous boot spoiler are seriously head-turning - especially with the car in a lairy shade of yellow or blue.

 Fast and fun, but comfort levels leave a lot to be desired because you feel every bump in the road

Sitting up high in a car with a Mustang badge still feels weird, but the good news is that lofty driving position does give you a decent view out of the Mach-E when you’re driving around town. However, the front pillars are chunky - which means that there’s quite a big blind spot in front of you.

The sporty styling also means that the rear window is pretty shallow and the raised-up lines at the back end of the Mach-E ensure that your over-the-shoulder view isn’t great. The door mirrors are pretty small, which doesn’t help when parking, but the 360-degree cameras do make life easier. If only they didn’t get dirty quite so easily, though.

It’s a shame that the suspension is so stiff, because the Mustang Mach-E really judders you around on rough roads and thumps through big potholes. The Rally is more comfortable with its softer suspension, but it’s an expensive option - only available on the GT.

The brakes are odd, too. The initial bit of regenerative braking is quite soft, and then as the mechanical brakes start to take over the Mach-E pulls up really suddenly, but it’s not an easy sensation to get used to. Still, there’s a one-pedal driving mode which stops the car entirely using regenerative braking.

On the motorway

On motorways, the Mustang Mach-E’s best trick is how rapidly it gets from 40mph to 70mph, which makes for easy merges off of slip roads - and even easier overtakes. Once you’re up to speed the suspension settles down, but that fidgety ride quality never goes away completely, and you’ll notice more wind noise than you’ll find in an Audi Q4 or Kia EV6.

The Mustang Mach-E’s battery doesn’t fare all that well at higher speeds, where efficiency really takes a hit. If you’re doing a long motorway trip, your usable range will drop well below Ford’s claims.

You get adaptive cruise control as standard, but if you tick the right box you’ll get Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free driving system, which means you can fully leave the car to its own devices on the motorway. Just don’t forget to pay attention.

On a twisty road

The Mustang Mach-E feels best on a twisty road, where it does a good job of living up to its sporty name. The stiff suspension helps the Mach-E around corners as there’s little body lean, and though the steering feels oddly springy and lacks much feedback the big Ford feels surprisingly agile through bends.

GT and Rally models are particularly good fun when coming out of bends, with all-wheel drive grip and plenty of power for quick acceleration. The Rally is actually better at tackling British B-roads, because while it’s a bit softer with a tad more body lean, it’s far better at absorbing bumps and ruts which can be unsettling in the regular GT.

There's plenty of space inside whether you sit in the front or back, but the boot is quite small

The Mustang Mach-E has a pretty practical cabin. Under the armrest, there’s a covered storage area that has both a USB and 12-volt socket, and in front of the rotary gear selector there are a couple of large cupholders and a flat tray that’s home to the large, wireless mobile phone charger.

Underneath that, there’s another flat storage tray which is handy, but it’s easy to forget things that are down there. The glovebox is an average size, and while the door bins are reasonably big, their shape is a bit awkward as the speaker for the stereo juts out above them, meaning that it’s trickier to fit larger items in there.

Space in the back seats

Even with that sporty, sloping roofline, the Mustang Mach-E’s back seats are very spacious. You’ll find lots of legroom and a surprising amount of headroom. The floor in the back is completely flat, which combined with a wide seat means there’s room for three adults to sit side-by-side.

If you go for the Tech Pack you get a panoramic glass roof (it’s standard on all-wheel drive cars), designed to be heat-absorbing instead of needing a retracting blind - which helps with rear headroom.

Rear seat passengers also get pockets on the backs of the front seats, a pair of USB sockets and a flip-down armrest with a pair of cupholders inside, while the door bins are large enough to hold water bottles.

Boot space

The 402-litre boot may be a handy rectangular shape, with two hooks for shopping bags, four tie-down points and a 12-volt plug on one side, but it’s almost 120 litres smaller than the BMW iX3, Audi Q6 e-tron and even the Q4 e-tron, which is a far smaller car. At least there’s no boot lip to contend with when the floor is set to its highest position, with a handy bit of storage underneath for the charger cable bag.

With the seats folded down boot space increases to 1,420 litres, but there aren’t any release handles in the back so you need to make your way around to pull the toggles on the seats themselves. A small inconvenience, but an inconvenience nonetheless.

There is however, a useful 81-litre front boot - or frunk, in American - which is big enough to take a small shop or a couple of backpacks. You don’t need to fiddle around with a dirty latch, either, as the boot release just needs a double tug of the inside handle to unlock. Smart.

You get a good looking cabin and high definition screens, but some of the cabin plastics feel a little scratchy

The Mustang Mach-E’s cabin is well-designed overall, but while it looks quite smart you can still see and feel some cheaper plastics and cost-saving measures around you. This isn’t a cheap car, so touches such as the steering wheel buttons lifted off of the Puma feel out of place.

Still, the ever-so-slight nod to classic Mustangs in the dashboard design is a welcome touch, especially if you have the optional Bang & Olufsen sound system fitted which gives you a funky, fabric-trimmed sound bar, accentuating that dash detail. GT models get a pair of fantastic sports seats up front, which are supportive without being uncomfortable on long drives.

The widescreen driver’s display screen is clear without being massively bright and in your face. It’s especially good when driving at night. It’s well-positioned too, as no matter where you move the steering wheel it never gets blocked off or obscured.

It’s the big 15.5-inch screen in the centre of the dashboard which dominates things. Ford’s infotainment software is customisable, so you can set the home screen up how you like, but the menus themselves aren’t all that easy to navigate and the responsiveness is a little slow compared to BMW, Audi or most Chinese cars hitting the UK.

The climate control bar at the bottom of the display is a handy feature, though we’d still prefer physical controls rather than touchscreen buttons which are unintuitive to use. Considering the (slightly odd looking) volume knob stuck on the screen, would it have been so hard to add another one or two for the temperature control?

All Mustang Mach-Es also get an electrically heated windscreen as standard, which is great on cold, frosty mornings - though you can pre-set the car to heat up before you get in, anyway.

You can have the Mach-E in a few different configurations. The rear-drive 294hp, 91kWh model has the longest claimed range of 373 miles, while the smaller battery (70kWh) model will manage a claimed 292 miles.

Then there’s the two-motor, all-wheel drive Premium model. It comes with 370hp and a 293-mile range, while the all-wheel drive GT model has a stonking 487hp and 320-mile range. The optional Rally pack drops the claimed range down slightly to 317 miles. Blame the big roof spoiler.

In real-world testing with the longest range version, we achieved 288 miles from a battery, which is 77% of its capacity. This is similar to what we've found with its competitors, as is the 3.3miles/kWh efficiency figure. The Standard Range RWD version fared a little better, achieving 3.7miles/kWh and 228 miles from its battery, which is 83% of claimed.

Behind the wheel of the range-topping Mach-E GT Rally, however, we only managed a 2.4mi/kWh efficiency figure on a variety of roads: around London, up the M40 and on twisty roads around Watford. All models will charge from 10-80% in around 36 minutes at a rate of 140kW, which is slow compared to its alternatives.

All Mustang Mach-Es fall into the cheapest road tax band, but they’re also subject to the luxury car supplement as they cost over £40,000. Company car drivers looking for a sporty, stylish SUV should consider the Ford, as it’s in the lowest band for Benefit-in-Kind payments, too.

The Mustang Mach-E is a very safe car, with a full five-star score from crash test experts Euro NCAP, and a 92% adult occupant protection rating, with an 86% child occupant rating. Those are really impressive scores, and the Mach-E comes with good levels of safety equipment too.

All models get radar-guided cruise control with lane-centering steering, and the Mustang’s system is a bit better to use than those of some rivals (such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 which constantly jiggles and moves the wheel in your hands). There’s also a rear-view camera, parking sensors, and a blind spot monitor.

If you go for the optional Tech Pack, as well as a 360-degree camera system with active parking assistant, there’s also an ‘Evasive Steering Assist’ that, along with the emergency automated braking, can actually help you swerve away from danger.

Ford came 23rd out of 31 brands in the 2025 Driver Power survey for owner satisfaction, which is in the lower half of the table - and isn’t a hugely confidence-inspiring result. That being said, electric cars have much fewer moving parts than petrol-powered cars, which should put the Mustang Mach-E in better stead than other models in the range.

Ford offers a three-year, 60,000-mile warranty on its cars which is unremarkable; on par with most European brands. The Kia EV6 has a much more impressive seven-year, 100,000-mile warranty, while the Toyota BZ4X and Lexus RZ both come with ten-year, 100,000-mile coverage with regular servicing.
