July 26th, 2024 by

Are you looking for an electric vehicle that doesn’t compromise on performance and offers a thrilling driving experience? The new Mustang Mach-E is definitely worth considering. Whether you’re a tech-savvy driver or simply someone looking for a stylish, efficient, and family-friendly ride, the Mach-E has plenty to offer. If you’re considering the Mach-E, here’s what you need to know.

 

 

What’s New for 2024?

Ford is keeping things fresh with the 2024 Mustang Mach-E by adding the Rally trim for some light off-road fun. This new version has a revamped front end with fog lights, a red tow hook, a high-mounted spoiler, and tougher tires. It also comes with a more efficient rear-mounted electric motor and quicker DC charging. 

For those who want to stand out, the GT trim now has a Bronze Appearance package, featuring a sleek bronze-colored grille and wheels in select exterior colors. Plus, Mach-E owners will soon be able to use Tesla’s Supercharger network, making it even easier to keep the battery topped up.

 

EV Motor, Power, and Performance

The Mustang Mach-E comes with different power options, starting with a standard 70.0-kWh battery and going up to a larger 91.0-kWh battery for longer range. Depending on the model, you can get anywhere from 266 horsepower in the Select trim to an exciting 480 horsepower in the GT Performance model. The GT Performance can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds, making it one of the fastest electric SUVs out there.

Even though it’s electric, the Mach-E still has that sporty Mustang feel. It handles really well and offers a smooth, fun driving experience. The regenerative braking system lets you drive with just one pedal, making city driving easier and more efficient.

 

Range, Charging, and Battery Life

The 2024 Mustang Mach-E has an EPA-estimated range of 250 to 320 miles per charge, depending on the battery size and motors. All models come with fast-charging, and the included home charging unit can add up to 30 miles of range overnight using a standard 120-volt outlet. For faster home charging, Ford offers a high-power charging station that can recharge up to 80 percent of the battery overnight.

 

Interior and Technology

The highlight of the interior is the 15.5-inch vertical touchscreen with Ford’s latest SYNC 4A infotainment system, supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for easy connectivity. 

The spacious cabin provides plenty of room for passengers and cargo, and the front trunk even has a drain for easy cleaning. It comfortably seats five people, with lots of headroom and legroom for everyone, no matter their size. So, even on long drives, everyone can stretch out and relax.

When you fold down the back seats, you get a huge 59.7 cubic feet of cargo space. That’s more than enough room for strollers, luggage, sports gear, and everything else you need for family adventures.

And don’t forget about the handy front trunk. With 4.7 cubic feet of space, it’s great for groceries, backpacks, or a picnic basket. Plus, the floor has a drain, making it easy to clean up any spills or melted ice.

 

Safety and Driver Assistance

The Mustang Mach-E is equipped with Ford’s comprehensive Co-Pilot 360 suite of driver-assistance technologies. Key features include: 

  • automated emergency braking
  • blind-spot monitoring
  • Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free driving system
