Ford Mustang Mach-E Posted Online Ahead of Debut

Mustang Mach-E website is no longer active, but the pictures are all over the internet.

The Ford Mustang Mach E will make its online debut this Sunday but we already have pictures and details right from the Ford Motor Company website. Some quick-witted internet user found a minisite for the new all-electric SUV. This minisite included a ton of images and many of the key details for the Mach E, and while it is no longer working, user “buzznwood” on MachEForum.com saved the pictures. We now have all of the key information on the newest Ford Mustang.

Mustang Mach E Design

These pictures from the Ford website show the Mustang Mach E from just about every exterior angle. This mid-size SUV looks how we would expect. There is distinct Mustang styling in the front end and the taillights are very similar to the pony car. It is a four-door crossover, but the designers have done a nice job of maintaining the fastback form.

Really, if you were to stretch a current Mustang into a mid-size crossover, we would expect it to look like the Mach E. While some people are sure to be outraged over the use of the Mustang name and logo on an all-electric crossover, the Mach E looks great.

Mach E Performance

In each of the pictures of the Mustang Mach E, there are three bits of information. One is electric range of 300 miles, which is very good. One is a 0 to 60 time in the mid-3-second range, which is also very good. The final appears to be the quick charge capacity, gaining 47 miles of range on a 10-minute charge. That is a great number for owners who plan to use the Mach E for their daily driver.

It should be noted that the same Mach E that will sprint to 60 in the mid-3s is not the same vehicle that will go 300 miles on a single charge. The Mach E will be offered in five trim levels at launch. This includes Select, California Route 1, Premium, First Edition and GT. Range, power and performance varies by model, as does the drive configuration.

Mach E Trim Levels

Select will be offered in rear- and all-wheel drive, with all models offering 255 horsepower. Rear-drive models will get 306 lb-ft of torque while the all-wheel-drive models get 429 lb-ft of torque. All of those power numbers are targets right now, so production numbers could vary a bit. Rear-drive models have a projected distance of 230 miles while all-wheel-drive models are expected to go 210 miles on a charge.

The California Route 1 Mach E will have more range, but it is only offered in rear-drive form. This package offers 300 miles of range with 282 horsepower and 306 lb-ft of torque.

The Premium trim level comes with the buyer’s choice of the standard range of the Select models or the extended range of the California Route 1 models. The Premium package is also available with rear- or all-wheel-drive. Horsepower numbers range from 255 to 333 while torque numbers range from 306 to 429 lb-ft.

The First Edition is only available with all-wheel-drive and the extended range system. This model will yield 270 miles of range with 333 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque.

Finally, the power numbers for the Mustang Mach E GT have not been announced, but it is projected to offer 250 miles of range with standard all-wheel-drive. This is the model that will dash from a stop to 60 in the mid-3-second range. The quickest of the other models with be in the mid-5-second range.

Mach E Pricing

The entry-level Mustang Mach E is the Select trim level, which starts at $43,895. The Premium models start at $50,600, the California Route 1 starts at $52,400 and the First Edition starts at $59,900. The quickest of the group, the Mach E GT, starts at $60,500. However, all of these vehicles apply to the federal vehicle tax program, so you can cut $7,500 from that price in tax savings.

The Ford Mustang Mach E will make its big debut this weekend, at which point we expect the minisite to come back online. In the meantime, you can check out the rest of the slides from Ford.com at the MachEForum.

"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.

"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.

"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.

"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.

"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.

"Being based on Detroit," says Rall, "I never miss the North American International Auto Show, the Woodward Dream Cruise and Roadkill Nights, along with spending plenty of time raising hell on Detroit's Woodward Avenue with the best muscle car crowd in the world.
