Test drive of the Ford Mustang Mach-E 4x AWD – a report

His full name actually expresses what Ford wants to achieve with this vehicle: Ford Mustang Mach-E 4x AWD. A mustang with the entry of a nozzle jet – only electrically and on all fours. In German: an electrical SUV with Mustang genes. Well, the Mustang has always generally had much Horsepower under the hood, but electrically exposes that this 560 nm paired with 351 hp immediately on 4 wheels occur and provide for propulsion. Although Ford reins the Mustang at 180 km / h, but nothing comes from nothing and that’s why you’d rather be in bridle, because a lot of power in collaboration with a lot of weight (empty weight 2.6 tons) and large end face (SUV) mean not only Bad CW value, but also high consumption. Also a battery with 100 kWh comes to its limits in a consumption of 30 and more kW / h.

Ford Mustang Mach-E 4x AWD and the charging column turnout

The Mustang has just under 100 kWh Battery, which can effectively use 88 kWh. How generally is now known to be known, you should load any e-autakku between 20 and 80%, as it has the best efficiency here. We test our vehicles mostly at the HPC of Maxsolar, Schmidhamer Str. 22 in Traunstein, because you have a very good charging indicator with a capacity of max. 150kW has. Incidentally, that’s the same charging power to create the great Mustang (the little one has Max. 115 kW).

Beginning of the store at a good 20% SOC, which corresponds to about 18 kWh. After a good 2:30 min, the performance rose to a good 119kW, which the Mustang brave up to almost 50%, then on Ca. 100kW to sink. With a good 75% it was still 80kW and at exactly 80% came the expected abrupt performance drop to protecting the battery. 14kW remained left and the previously absolutely precise time forecast of the computer on the 15.5-inch display told us that it would take another 2.5h up to 100%.

In the end, this means that the Mustang from 20 to 80% overall 55kWh has loaded in 36 minutes at an outdoor temperature of 29 degrees and thus is already very close to the data of a Tesla. Of course, these are currently available, the white of factors such as temperature, battery status etc. depend. I think the values but very impressive, as the Mustang held the individual strengths very stable and not much fluctuations were to be seen. Gratifying is the fact that anyone who has already driven a Tesla feels quite “native” at the Mustang – which is probably ..

Interior and a Navi in Monochrome

Something should be mentioned: a lot of what you already know of Tesla has been changed in the Mustang to the benefit. These updates in conjunction with the retrofoles from the shelves of other Ford models make the Mustang for changeover and newcomers interesting. Example Tempomat: Oldschool – 2.Screen with the most important data (except the painfully missing recuperation values): Future. Likewise displaceable icons on the screen (such as the new plaid) and oldschool: engine hood opener manually in the footwell.

Sound generator for the driving steps for those who do not want to do without Krach and stylish-blue charging cable with two blue puffles for cleaning (you are looking for in vain for other companies!). Who looks exactly finds even preparations for the upcoming autonomous driving, such as Z.B. The sensor strip directly on the steering wheel. That there are sensors are not discovered only when photographed the bar and the things are flashing red ..

Summary of the test drive or the coolness factor

The Ford Mustang Mach-E is a real cruiser. This means he loves highways with speeds between 80 and 100 km / h, in addition with the certain bum from below to get past with power to trucks or wild motorhome vehicles. Comfort is then capitalized when it comes to the typical American attributes like air conditioning, sound or place.

You are actually missing only seats, which also keep one in sharp curves and are also sovely / sacrificable for Central Europeans on long stretches, technology, which is not always resetted on every start as a Zappelphilipp called lane support assistant or the “Auto” function of the Air conditioning, with which you can breed ice cubes. Serenity is also advantageous in this vehicle if the behind is aware that a Mustang drives in front of him and he would definitely want to photograph the Mustangsymbol at the rear while driving.

Or you have to push the freely hood several times with all the strength until you finally stay. Although a galloping racehorse is decorated as a recognition feature, the Mustang radiates a certain coolness. Maybe that’s why he knows that he is unique and it remains. For all other E cars from Ford have in the future Wolfsburg Gene (MEB platform) and are not from the USA. I am and stay Mustang fan and I’m looking forward to the GT, the end of the year will come – because there is the coolness factor even bigger. HOWDY GRINGO

Our special thanks are deserved by Karl Schaffler by Ford Schaffler from Traunstein, the passionate E-car enthusiast and provided us with the vehicle. The employees of Max Solar Ladelpark, which support us passionately in processing the data from the HPC load test. This expertise is simply unique

As already mentioned, this test is our very personal opinion. The fact that a Teslafaher sees many achievements of the foreign factories unlike a freshman from the burning scene requires no explanation. The team of the reufuzzer blog is still an honest opinion sought, as Tesla is not completely perfect, even if other companies like to claim this.
