Ford just revealed its Mustang Mach-E SUV.
Ford unveiled its new all-electric Mustang Mach-E crossover SUV. With its emphasis on affordability and performance, the newest member of the Mustang family appears to be a pointed attempt by Ford to take on Tesla.
The Mustang Mach-E GT Performance models will get an estimated 459 horsepower with a range of up to 300-miles/500 km, Ford claims, from two electric motors, one powering the back wheels, the other powering the front. They should be able to go from zero to 60 miles an hour in roughly 3.5 seconds, a time similar to a Porsche 911 GTS, according to Porsche‘s web site. The Tesla Model 3 Performance, meanwhile, produces 450 horsepower and will share much of its engineering with the upcoming Model Y SUV.
Ford CEO Jim Hackett said the Mach-E will feature a new, hands-free driver assist system that is expected to compete with Tesla’s Autopilot and Cadillac’s Super Cruise systems. The company, he said, plans to activate the driver-assist system through an over-the-air update. He declined to provide timing for the system update.
The interior of the Mach-E is clean and modern, comparable to the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. It features a vertical 15.5-inch center screen in addition to a 10.2-inch information cluster in front of the driver.
The Mach-E will be produced at Ford’s plant in Cuautitlan, Mexico.
