Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Review: A REAL Mustang After All!? | 4K (Track Test!)

Let's be honest, Rory is so good at this. I bet if he goes on leave and someone else steps in, the views will drop.

[@magnustan841]

That is way more convincing to being a Mustang than the original Mach-e. I sometimes still scratch my head over the marketing decision, but if there’s one benefit, is that it’s one of the best-looking crossovers on the road! I wish it was available where I live.

[@DonGorth]

5:13 2024 Mach E GT with OTA Performance Upgrade ..480 hp...700 ft lbs Torque...0 - 60.. 3.3 Seconds. Also comes with MAGNA RIDE DAMPING SYSTEM...Great Ride....LOVE MINE..

[@gerardmontgomery280]

When they announced the Mach E I first assumed it would be the 'real' Mustang with electric power. I thought electric power in a muscle car would be amazing. I still say this should've been a Galaxy E, never Mustang. Nothing to do with the power train and everything to do with the body style. I'll admit to hating SUV/Softroaders though.

[@Resist_Oppression]

Facts

[@Resist_Oppression]

Most of these crossover/SUVs aren't real SUVs, and manufacturers have done poor styling with electric vehicles. Ford definitely made a mistake by naming it mustang.

[@taurussho86]

Dude stfu, we done heard the same shit for a year. Come up with some other criticism... Gawd damn find some new material

[@joeycameron4744]

I'd have been fine if they just called it the Mach-e and left the mustang name out of it. It pigeoned holed Ford if they ever wanted to make an actual Mustang electrified.

[@whatthe6532]

@@joeycameron4744 Not true. They will just make a low to the ground version of this which will be a Mustang Mach 1 (again). Mustang brilliant extension of name recognition for those of us who love the image but don’t want to drive a poor handling cramped lump of a vehicle.

[@metallicsilver]

Rory, you're a great salesman. I have a family of 5, so I had to sell my 2015 Mustang. I've been shopping for a new one ever since. Even looked at the Mach E up close and personal. Nope! 👎🏾 But this new GT model may be the ticket! 😎

Rory, the main difference between you and other channels is, you genuinely enjoy yourself putting cars through their paces. I would never seriously consider a car like this, for daily transport I drive a small Kia and occasionally I rent a beast like your Mustang V8 for a long weekend but I really appreciate the way you highlighted the fun factor of this new mustang.

Wait until you get your hand on a Rivian R1S or R1T. Best SUV and pick-up truck I've ever driven, by far. It has everything you want. Very quick, very comfy, very accurate, spacious, quirky, good range, off-road capability, it's all there! Definitely my car of the year.

[@cobracarlos]

Have you driven a mach-e? How does it compare?

[@fifieuskadi]

@@cobracarlos Yes. The Mach-E is not as comfortable and practical as the Rivian R1S. Not mentioning the performance which is unbelievable on the Rivian. Again, the Rivian R1S is clearly THE best electric SUV I’ve ever driven, and probably will drive, as I can’t see anything beating it. The Hummer EV is also very good though but it’s less agile and practical as the Rivian.

A real mustang? I mean it is a mustang. So it must be real? Kinda weird seeing how some people are with their fan comments. Reminds me of all the school girls who used to argue that Boyzone were better than backstreet boys. Get a grip, the future is electric whether you agree or not.

[@Car_Tism]

Tesla Model 3 Performance is the most fun EV on the market. Cheaper, faster, lower, even does quiet donuts with Track Mode engaged… You can fully adjust traction control and how much power goes to the front or rear motors. But if you absolutely need a crossover… sure, this may be the most playful on a track

[@DawlessHouseMusic]

I think you might be the new go-to Auto review guy. I am a 2 time Mustang owner and it doesn't inspire me to run out and get one. Honest if they had taken the Mustang name and badge off it I would only say, "good for you Ford for going electric", but not be in love or anything.

[@shaunpowelluk]

I do like the ride of the Mach E compared to the other SUVs I've tested, so can't wait to see thr GT offering. Though by comparison, wouldn't the Jaguar iPace be a close match to this? Pricing wise, the GT is on par with the HSE versions I think.

[@TimZ007]

To bad you cant buy one for anywhere near MSRP. Production numbers are way to low for the demand.

[@StandingUpForBetter]

Great review Rory. I was waiting to hear your take on this especially since you are actually a Mustang owner and I have to say, this car is sounding more and more impressive, and this is after the fact my wife and I agreed this was on the top of the list for electric cars for the family.

[@garethedwards2883]

That's a great amount of torque especially with AWD.

When they make an electric car that's RWD with LSD-"ish" rear drive dynamics and defeatable traction control, that's when I'll consider moving away from petrol. This car gives me hope.

[@sdot6569]

That tablet is killing the interior & the grill is odd. But looks fun. Good job Rory 👍🏾

[@AFJDM]

This might be the Mach E GT Performance, price-wise it is similar to the price here in the states, plus this one doesn't have the horrible looking standard GT wheels, it has the Performance Pack wheels. In terms of speed 3.7 sec rolling start is also in line with the Performance version, not the standard.

[@lazziebardakos2956]

Good to hear a car reviewer calling them crossovers rather than an SUV (at least some of the time)

[@happysporran]

Nice review, but as it's not a real sports car, afew miles off track would have been useful.

[@tonyb3629]

Entertaining review, but come on, the price of EV's in general (and yes, I know this is a 'Mustang' in name) has always been one of the major issues. You are basically talking £65k for a mid-size family car, which is just ridiculous. Your average car buyer will normally be looking at a car 1/3 of that price. We are in a mad, mad world right now.

[@TL-xw6fh]

It is the performance version. The equivalent model that you are referring to is about 1/3rd less in price.

[@kevinwatson9378]

[@johnnyvegas5681]

You could for real walk on to the filming of a show such as "Top Gear, and take someone's spot without any feeling like they are missing anything. This is a fantastic gig too, but not quite on the level of productions that cost $7 million per episode lol.

[@wesleywalls7582]

I’m so confused about the ride quality of the Mach-E GT…most reviewers acknowledge how firm/stiff the Model Y is and that the GT’s adaptive dampers are so much more compliant, but then I run across reviews like this, and a few others, who talk about the poor rebound characteristics of the dampers on the Mach-E. Maybe these two observations aren’t mutually exclusive, but it seems to be a dichotomy on the surface.

[@GustavoM90]

Yup does it bobble your head less than other suvs if they were driven like this?that’s what reviewers need to address

[@deanchur]

Would be interested to see a Shelby version, I imagine it's inevitable that they'll make one with performance just above an entry level Lucid while undercutting it by $5k or so.

[@markbrisec3972]

I think Ford should have given this Mach E GT a bit more power. I was expecting power closer to 600 Hp, not 450. Maybe there's an even more powerful model down the road.

[@smarte.r.1450]

Nice one Rory!

[@RobertMayfair]

I wonder what the aftermarket can do for the suspension. Two and a half tons in a performance car is a lot to cope with.

[@toussantlbisso]

Is the Performance package Standard over there ? Or just not available ?

[@fredeb67]

I own a 2005 Acura TL and now that the car is 17 years old, some of the electronics are failing. Since the NAV, stereo, voice commands and some others are all integrated, the ability to control some of the features is becoming impossible. I would like to see some of this stuff being more modular so they can be replace individually. Also, why hasn't voice command become more advanced to where you don't need to reach for a switch or button? Great review but I would not trust Ford to support me with an electrical problem and don't even mention battery problems and replacement costs.

[@RichardJoashTan]

Glad that I will buy a fully loaded Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition anyway.

[@barnstar2077]
