ABOUT THE FORD MUSTANG MACH-E

The Ford Mustang Mach-E is a fully electric midsize SUV that borrows one of Detroit's most storied nameplates and plants it squarely in the rapidly growing EV crossover segment. Aimed at tech-forward families and performance-curious drivers who want zero-emission practicality without sacrificing style, the Mach-E competes against rivals like the Tesla Model Y and Volkswagen ID.4 in a segment where safety credentials matter as much as range.
