The Mustang Mach-E is Ford’s first dedicated, from-the-ground-up electric vehicle. Unlike the Mustang muscle car, the Mach-E is a five-passenger SUV with available all-wheel drive. Its combination of style, practicality, and a fun-to-drive nature makes it one of the most enjoyable EVs on the market. Its less-than-stellar Overall Score is largely due to worse-than-average predicted reliability from the Ford brand.
Like most EVs, the Mach-E is quick off the line, even if it has a bit less of a snap-your-head-back sensation than a Tesla Model Y. It has plenty of giddyup, though, as evidenced by its sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds, and it provides a seemingly effortless forward shove anytime you step on the accelerator pedal. The “Unbridled” drive-mode, one of three available settings, adds artificial engine sounds if you need more excitement.
In most cases, automotive warranties are based on the vehicle identification number (VIN), and the warranty will be valid regardless of ownership. The dealership can tell you exactly how much warranty is left.
