We weren’t supposed to see the first
photos of the all-new 2021 Mustang Mach-E until November 17, but some people
from Ford’s tech department thought otherwise. Thanks to them leaving
images and information available to anyone visiting Ford’s U.S. customer
website, we can now show you almost everything you need to know about the
Mustang Mach-E. The folks from the MachE Forum were quick enough to take
screenshots before Ford’s people realized their mistake and deleted the page.
Styling-wise, the
2021 Mustang Mach-E looks very similar to the renderings we brought you a
couple of weeks ago. Interesting details include the closed-off
grille, Mustang-like headlights and taillights, lack of any visible door
handles and the muscular haunches. Overall, the electric “crossover coupe”
looks athletic, suggesting it’s capable of strong performance.
Inside, the Mach-E goes for a minimalist
approach that will most certainly remind people of Tesla, especially with that
massive tablet-like display that dominates the dashboard. We can also spot a
smaller display behind the sporty three-spoke steering wheel, as well as air
vents than span across the entire width of the dash. More interestingly,
though, the captions also reveal details about the Mustang Mach-E’s trim
levels, powertrains and prices. Ford will offer five grades called Select,
California Rt. 1, Premium, First Edition, and GT.
The base Select model will feature an
electric motor delivering a targeted 255 HP and 415 Nm of torque in
RWD configuration and 582 Nm of torque in optional AWD guise. Ford
expects the Mach-E Select RWD to cover 370 km on a single charge,
with the AWD model offering a range of 338 km.
The 0-96 km/h sprint will be in
the mid six-second range for the RWD model and mid five-second range for the
Mach-E Select AWD. The Select will be the most affordable Mach-E with an
estimated MSRP starting at US$ 43,895.
The model with the highest driving range
will be the Mach-E California Rt. 1 which targets an EPA-estimated 483 km. This is a RWD-only model with an electric motor producing 282 HP and 415 Nm of torque and enabling a 0-60 time in the mid six-second
range. The California Rt. 1 is estimated to start at US$ 52,400.
Performance-oriented customers will need
to get the range-topping Mustang Mach-E GT model, which Ford claims will shoot
from 0 to 96 km/h in the mid 3-second range. Power and torque levels
for this AWD-only version are yet to be announced but the driving range is
estimated at 378 km. The GT will be priced from US$ 60,500 and will be
the last to launch in spring 2021.
The first to arrive in late 2020 will be
the First Edition and Premium grades, with the Select and California Rt. 1
following in early 2021.
