![]() ![]() Material quality is far better than expected, compared to either the regular Mustang or Ford's recent disappointing efforts in the Escape and Explorer. There's nothing remotely Mustangy about the interior apart from the horse on the wheel, which is just fine. What are the Mach-E interior and in-car technology like? ![]() The important thing, though, is Ford has created something good enough and cool enough to give EV seekers a more affordable Tesla alternative that isn't a cheaply finished subcompact hatchback. We also appreciate its more conventional interior to Tesla's and are more confident in its build quality, though its EV specs certainly fall short of the Model Y's impressive capabilities. It has the interior design, quality and features to help justify its high-for-a-Ford price tag, but then it also grossly undercuts various luxury-branded EVs. So think of it simply as Mach-E if you must, and then move on to appreciate the fact that Ford has created a well-executed electric car that's enjoyable to drive, handsome to behold and functional on a daily basis. "That isn't a Mustang!" Fair enough, but the name has nevertheless accomplished two things: it has attracted the attention of non-car fans everywhere in a way most new EVs haven't, and it has ensured that Ford's new electric crossover is far more interesting and just far better than some generic, Escape-looking electric vehicle would have been. By naming its new electric crossover " Mustang," Ford invited the scorn of car fans everywhere who equate that name and badge with 56.5 years of iconic V8-powered coupes. It's impossible to talk about the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E without first mentioning the elephant in the room, or rather, the horse in the grille.
