Ford has announced pricing and specs for
the Mustang Mach-E in the United Kingdom, where the electric SUV starts at
£ 40,270 (US$ 49,924), with deliveries to commence at the end of the year. It can
be pre-ordered with a £ 1,000 (US$ 1,240) deposit.
The entry-level model is offered with the
75.7 kWh battery and offers a targeted range of 451 km. The
electric motor that powers the rear wheels produces 254 HP and 415 Nm of torque, for a 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) acceleration of
under 8 seconds and a 179 km/h top speed.
The range extender option, which adds the
98.8 kWh battery for a targeted autonomy of 595 km, is an extra
£ 9,730 (US$ 12,063). This version unleashes 281 HP and increases
the maximum charge power from 115 to 150 kW. Plugging it in for 10 minutes will
give you a range of 92 km, compared to the 84 km of the
regular variant, and a 10-80 percent charge time of 45 minutes, up from 38
minutes.
Standard gear includes pretty much
everything, from the 18-inch wheels, panoramic roof, 15.5-inch touchscreen
infotainment system and 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, to the wireless
charging pad for compatible smartphones, electric tailgate, B&O premium
sound system and 360-degree camera system.
The Mustang Mach-E AWD will be available
from £ 46,570 (US$ 57,734). The dual-motor version is offered with the same battery
options as the RWD model, although it offers a lower range of 418-539 km. The output varies from 254 HP to 332 HP and the peak torque is 565 Nm. Nought to 96
km/h takes under 7 seconds, while top speed is identical to the base spec.
It features a sportier design on the
outside, 19-inch alloy wheels, red brake calipers, adaptive LED headlights and
a few other extras. Pricing for the Mustang Mach-E First Edition hasn’t been
announced, but the entire allocation for Britain has been spoken for.
