2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT 4dr Hatchback Exterior

It's a Mustang! It's an SUV! It's the all-electric Ford Mach-E! We didn't know what to expect when we heard Ford was cooking up an electric Mustang SUV, but we're certainly glad it exists. With engaging driving performance, no tailpipe emissions and over-the-air software updates on a huge center touchscreen, the Mach-E drives and looks like a car of the future.

What is the Ford Mustang Mach-E?

The 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E is an all-electric SUV. With sporty driving dynamics and Mustang coupe-like styling, it isn't as boxy or spacious as some other SUVs, but what it lacks in practicality, it makes up for in style. For the 2022 model year, there were several updates to range and available equipment, with increases in efficiency across the Mach-E range. For 2023, Ford is making big promises too — starting with production. To keep up with demand, Ford plans to increase production of the Mustang Mach-E, with a target of at least 200,000 vehicles each year globally.

The Mach-E's most direct rival is the Tesla Model Y, which also offers several configurations. Both SUVs are available with long-range battery configurations or high-performance setups — and both offer similar levels of performance. The Tesla beats out the Ford when it comes to outright acceleration and overall range, but the driving experience in the Mach-E makes up for most of the differences.

Other EV competitors like the Polestar 2 and Audi e-tron are worth considering, but they're a bit pricier and can't match the Mach-E for range. For 2023, we expect the Mach-E to receive incremental improvements to range and efficiency, giving it an even bigger advantage. Weight savings and software changes will likely account for most of any added range since we don't expect a change in the Mach-E's current battery pack lineup.

Edmunds says

The Mustang Mach-E is one of our favorite EVs at Edmunds. It has a user-friendly interior layout, sleek exterior styling, and several options when it comes to range and powertrain. A little bit of added range expected for 2023 will only add to the Mach-E's appeal. Check back for more information on the 2023 Mach-E soon.

Great family car-exceeds my expectations

2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium 4dr Hatchback (electric DD)

This car has a spacious and comfortable interior. I’m 6’3” and I still have headroom and plenty of leg space. If I drive in city, I’ll regularly get the 310 miles range as advertised, but if you got a less foot in highway driving, expect about 290 max range when charging. The vehicle is very quiet to the point where it’s easy to speed unless you’re watching speedometer. The ride can go …

Update 1/5/23 Just crossed 15,000 miles halfway through a 1,700 mile round trip vacation. Still zero issues or defects with my Mach E and I receive OTA updates frequently. This vacation took me from NC to Vermont and Canada where the car has handled the cold and snow well. As expected, efficiency is less in the cold where I only averaged 2.3 - 2.5 miles/kWh.

2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium 4dr Hatchback (electric DD)

So I am one of those people who said I'd never buy a Ford..'Found On The Road Dead' that was my feeling and what I would hear so often from family, friends, colleagues & client Ford owners. Long story short, I have two Mach E's; one Premium and another Select trim. Couldn't be happier and I'm accustomed to High End vehicles (think Lexus, BMW, Volvo) EV's weren't on my radar either …

I have owned this car for one year. Not one issue. Charging is easy in the Bay Area. No problems with range: trip to Napa San Francisco and Calistoga are worry free. After one year of Mach-e I cannot stand my Subaru. My first EV and want to replace my wife’s car with another. Ford app is great. I just charge of a 120v plug at home and you can get 10% overnight.
