The Mustang Mach-E is the first fully electric passenger vehicle to arrive in Australia from Ford, offering a spacious interior with a flat rear floor and a generous front trunk. The Select variant starts at $79,990 and offers up to 470 km of WLTP driving range from its 71 kWh usable capacity LFP-based battery. The top of the range GT starts at $107,665, but is a great high performance EV for those who want it.

The interior of the Mustang Mach-E is spacious and premium, with key features like the panoramic glass roof and 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system. The car audio sounded great, and the seats throughout the Mach-E range are made from Ford’s Sensico artificial leather. The infotainment system in the Mach-E comprises a 10.2 inch digital instrument cluster and a 15.5 inch portrait mounted central touchscreen, with customizable settings.

All Mach-E variants come with Whisper, Active, and Untamed drive modes, which adjust acceleration and steering response in the Mach-E. The GT also features an Untamed Plus mode, which reduces power slightly to maintain drivetrain temperatures for more consistent performance during a track session.

The Mach-E has adaptive cruise control and lane centering system, which helps maintain a safe following distance even when cruise control is not enabled. Ford’s real-world range calculations displayed on the dash are very accurate or slightly pessimistic, alleviating range anxiety.

When it comes to charging, maximum speeds are the same for all Mach-E variants with 150 kW DC and 10.5 kW AC. The charge port is located near the front of the vehicle on the passenger side, but could be awkward at DC fast chargers like Tesla Superchargers with short cables.
