Ford Mustang Mach-E

 Ford Mustang Mach-E

This is a Mustang like you've never seen before. Bucking the tradition of muscular two-doors, the all-new Ford Mustang Mach-E is a four-door electric crossover. But this isn't meant to be the tree-hugger's Mustang—the Mach-E emphasizes performance and technology.

Still, the Mach-E needs to achieve good electric driving range and provide an exciting way to live a fuel-free lifestyle. It's a radical re-imagining of the classic Mustang, and a glimpse at Ford's electric future. The Mach-E competes with other affordable electric SUVs including the Chevrolet Bolt EUV, Volkswagen ID4, and Tesla Model Y.

The base-model standard range rear-drive Mach-E accelerates from 0-60 mph in 6.0 seconds and according to the EPA, it's rated for 230 miles on a charge.

Opting for all-wheel drive should drop 0-60 acceleration to the mid-fives, but range falls to 211 miles. These models have 75.7 kWh battery packs that accept up to 115 kW on a DC fast charger. Power output should be around 255 hp and 306 lb-ft of torque.

Ford says extended-range Premium models will accelerate similarly to their standard range counterparts, but increase driving potential to 300 miles for rear-drive and 270 miles for all-wheel drive variants. Extended range Mach-Es have a 98.8 kWh battery receiving up to 150 kW on a DC fast charger. When we tested a dual-motor AWD Mach-E 4x putting out 346 hp and 428 lb-ft of torque, it reached 60 mph in 4.8 seconds.

The top-end GT models prioritize performance. The GT makes 480 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque, good for a Ford-estimated 0-60 time of 3.8 seconds. Range is EPA-rated at 270 miles. The GT Performance Edition packs the same hp but 634 lb-ft of torque, enough to propel the EV from 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, according to Ford. This model is rated by the EPA to travel 260 miles on a charge.

The Mustang Mach-E has front and knee airbags for both front passengers, as well as side curtain airbags for both rows. Driver-assist features include adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist with lane centering, automatic evasive steering, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic reverse braking, and automatic high beams.

Behind the second row, the Mustang Mach-E offers 29 cubic feet of cargo volume. With the second row folded, there's 59.6 cubic feet available up to the front row. The absence of an engine allows for a frunk under the hood, which provides an additional 4.8 cubic feet of capacity.

The Mustang Mach-E has seating for five passengers. Front row occupants get 41.7 inches of legroom, while those behind have 38.1. Headroom measures 38.9 inches in front, and 38.3 inches out back, with the standard roof. Opting for the available glass roof increases headroom to 40.5 and 39.3 inches, respectively.

 

Ford Mustang Mach-E

With a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and 15.5-inch touchscreen infotainment display, technology is at the forefront of the Mustang Mach-E. All models come with the latest version of Ford's Sync infotainment software, a wireless phone charging pad, and phone as a key capability. Navigation is standard across the lineup, and includes functionality to help drivers manage driving range and find convenient charging stations. Higher-end models will receive a 10-speaker premium audio system.

Lucid Air 2022

  2022 Lucid Air The Lucid Air luxury sedan promises beautiful appointments in a sleek all-electric package. Additionally, the sedan boasts thrilling acceleration and an estimated top speed of 217 mph. As we'd expect of a Tesla-rivaling brand, Lucid promises that it will offer autonomous and semi-autonomous driving technologies with the Air. As we discovered in our exclusive Lucid Air Dream Edition First Drive, the electric sedan is smooth and quiet, with a hint of wind noise coming through the cabin. Although a comfortable cruiser, it appreciates a challenge. It's ridiculously quick, and surprisingly, it leaps and bounds out of corners like a Nismo GT-R. The harder you push it, the better it becomes. Steering is quick, not too light and not too heavy. The stylish sedan takes a different approach than rivals when it comes to interior design. Its three screens don't dominate the cabin like they do in the Tesla Model S and Mercedes EQS. A nice mix of leather, wood, Alca...

BMW iX 2022

   BMW iX BMW takes a huge next step into electric luxury vehicles with the iX. Although the i3 and i8 showed BMW's clear interest in alternative-powertrain cars, the new iX is a fully electric look into the brand's future. With a projected driving range of about 300 miles, the 500-hp 2022 BMW iX is an electric SUV that can seat five in comfort and still manage a run to 60 mph in under 5 seconds, the automaker says. BMW's next generation electric SUV comes only as an AWD, with one electric motor driving the front axle and one driving the rear. They combine for a total of 516 hp. The iX xDrive50's estimated 300-mile range puts it firmly in Tesla Model X and Model Y territory. Unlike the upcoming electric X3, there's nothing subtle about the iX's interior or exterior design. BMW's controversial and enormous new front grille design makes an impression up front, while up top is a panoramic roof that's the largest glass roof ever fitted to a BMW. Inside...
