Throwing in its hat in the fully electric cars race, Ford has finally unveiled its first fully electric car, and it's a Mustang. The Mustang Mach-E, every bit Ford calls information technology, joins the iconic Mustang line-up just with a fully electric powertrain and information technology'south packed to the brim with technology.

The car looks fairly nice to me, even though opinions on its design vary. Ford will be offering multiple variants of the Mach-E, starting with the base 'Select' model which is priced at $43,895. The Mach-Due east 'Select' comes in both rear wheel drive, and all wheel drive options, with a bombardment pack that Ford claims volition last it for 230 miles and 210 miles respectively.

So at that place's the higher priced 'Premium' variant of the Mach-E which also comes in both rear wheel and all cycle drive variants, and starts at $50,600. With the Premium variant, customers will also be able to get a larger battery pack for extended range. Here'due south how that breaks down. For the Mach-East Premium with rear wheel drive, Ford estimates 230 miles of range. All bike drive brings that down to 210 miles in exchange for a faster 0-60mph in the mid-5 second range. With the extended bombardment pack, the rear wheel bulldoze Mach-E Premium will get a range of 300 miles, while the all bike drive will get 270 miles of range.

If those aren't enough choices already, Ford also has three more than variants on offering. The California Road 1 Mustang Mach-E comes with the extended range upgrade, and rear wheel drive for a toll of $52,400, while the 'First Edition' Mach-E is priced at $59,900 and is a limited-edition model with all wheel drive and extended range pack.

Lastly, there's the Mach-E GT which comes with all wheel drive, and the extended range pack for $60,500. There'southward special GT badging on this variant, forth with a metallic front grille. The GT variant pushes a whopping 459 horsepower cheers to bigger motors on both the front end and rear axles.

Apart from these configurations, the cars themselves are adequately similar. They offering a 29 cubic anxiety of boot space in the dorsum, which can exist increased to about sixty cubic feet by folding in the rear seats. The hood has some other 5 cubic feet of infinite, and at that place'south even a drain plug at the lesser and so customers can hose it clean if they want to. Ford is proverb that this tin can be used as a cooler as well, and in that location are even two cup-holders.

Inside, there'due south a 10.two-inch driver information organisation behind the steering wheel which displays information of import to the driver including speed, and in some driving modes, even the direction of G-forces acting on the car. There'south another 15-inch touchscreen infotainment system in the center with bear on-buttons for everything, other than a book knob at the bottom of the panel, which Ford says tin contextually suit to other functions also. The company didn't, nevertheless, requite whatsoever examples for that item feature.

The new Ford Mustang Mach-E is coming in late 2020.
