By now you've likely heard the news: A new Mustang will be rolling around the block soon. However, instead of the classic American muscle car look that's so iconic for the model, this one features a different approach. The Mustang Mach-E is a new all-electric SUV put out by Ford's performance model manufacturer. Let's take an in-depth look at everything we know about this exciting new electric vehicle offering. Fully Capable All-Electric Engine It goes without saying that Ford releasing a Mustang SUV could be risky, but an electric SUV on top of that might just be taking things too far. However, if what we learned from an early winter test drive is true, there's nothing to worry about. It seems that Ford stayed true to the brand and delivered a powerful SUV that will be fun to drive, eye-catching, and truly exciting once the rubber meets the road. more The winter preview for some media members included a chance to sit in the passenger seat for an exciting thrill ride in the snow. With each new bit of information released, the anticipation and hype for the electric Mustang SUV grow. So far, all signs point to a successful debut. All-Wheel Drive and More The 2021 Mustang Mach-E wouldn't live up to its namesake if it wasn't loaded with some of the best power and performance features available on an SUV today. The all-electric battery is just another hurdle in achieving that goal. First and foremost, the Mach-E features all-wheel drive, giving the SUV extra control and capability over snowy roads and difficult terrain. Finely-Tuned Handling System Despite the all-electric battery, the Mach-E can tackle tough inclines and rapid acceleration with astounding ease. The engineers are still wrapping up the fine-tuning on stability and traction control features before its upcoming release. Unique Drive Experiences In addition to the extra handling power, the Mach-E will come with multiple drive modes, which Mustang has labeled "drive experiences." These include Engaged, Whisper, and Unbridled. These different settings adjust how the SUV responds to your input. The way Mustang is handling drive modes is a bit different than how other manufacturers do. Other vehicles include drive modes like rain, snow, mud, or sport, while the Mach-E's drive modes are all about emotion and mood. A Cool Twist on the Classic Mustang Look The Mustang brand has always put forward exciting looks that are eye-catching and head-turning, to say the least. The rear fascia of the 2021 Mustang Mach-E is easily recognizable as a Mustang. It has a sweeping profile and signature taillight design. A long, aggressive front end leads to a solid grille plate featuring the Mustang pony badge. The entire body is trimmed out with black rub strips that increase in size near the door and become more slender toward the rear. Whether you're a fan of sports cars or SUVs, there's something for you inside the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Continue to stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new release from Ford.
