UMVA has learned that the Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium AWD has been making waves in the electric vehicle market, boasting a price tag of P3.499 million.
This sleek electric crossover SUV has been turning heads with its unique blend of Mustang styling and practicality. At first glance, the design may seem unconventional, but as you take a closer look, it starts to grow on you. The Mach-E's interior, however, is where it truly shines, featuring an abundance of soft-touch premium materials and a thoughtful design that sets it apart from its competitors.
The dashboard is a masterclass in design, with a mix of leather and a denim-type material with contrasting red stitching. The steering wheel is wrapped in supple leather that's a joy to hold and use. The minimalist layout is a welcome respite from cluttered interiors, with most settings controlled through the steering wheel button or infotainment screen. A charging pad for your phone is a convenient touch, although wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not available.
Space is generous, with both front passengers enjoying ample room to adjust their seats without compromising second-row comfort. The driver's seat is particularly noteworthy, offering the perfect balance of firmness and support. With a dual-motor electric drive system producing 396hp and 676Nm of torque, the Mach-E accelerates from 0-100kph in just 4.9 seconds, with a total driving range of 550km.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the Mach-E's advanced safety features, including adaptive cruise control, make it a standout in its class. The adaptive cruise control system is remarkably smooth, rarely confused, and makes you feel like you're being driven by another human. Charging is also relatively quick, with the ability to take up to 150kW when using DC fast chargers.
The Mach-E's instant torque and massive power output make it a thrill to drive, particularly in "Unbridle" drive mode. It's a wildly accelerating EV that can leave most sports and supercars in its wake. Despite its size and weight, the Mach-E handles like a sports car, with direct and responsive steering. The only drawback is a slightly stiffer ride, but it's a small price to pay for the Mach-E's exceptional handling.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that the Mach-E's premium features and performance come at a cost, with the Premium AWD variant priced significantly higher than its competitors. While it may not be the most practical choice for those on a budget, the Mach-E is undoubtedly a remarkable vehicle that offers a unique blend of style, performance, and luxury.
