Ford Mustang Mach-E Extended Range RWD

Overview

The Ford Mustang Mach-E Extended Range RWD is a seriously stylish electric SUV that nails the brief for drivers wanting maximum range without sacrificing that classic rear-wheel-drive feel. It's the sweet spot in the Mach-E lineup, blending iconic pony car design cues with practical family-hauling capabilities. It’s a compelling alternative to rivals like the Tesla Model Y. In Europe, expect to see new models starting around €59,200, with pre-owned examples available from approximately €38,490. This trim offers a cracking combination of performance, range, and style for the money.

What's New for 2025?

For 2025, Ford has been fettling under the skin to make the Mach-E even better. The big news is a newly developed rear motor that's lighter and more potent, boosting torque for punchier acceleration. This means the Extended Range RWD model is quicker off the line than its predecessor. Ford has also worked its magic on charging speeds, cutting down the time you'll spend tethered to a DC fast charger. These updates keep the Mach-E fighting fit against its ever-growing list of rivals in the electric SUV space.

Design & Exterior

The Mach-E is unmistakably a Mustang, just reimagined for the electric age. It's got the aggressive stance, long bonnet, and signature tri-bar LED taillights, but wrapped in a practical SUV body. At 4713 mm long and 1881 mm wide, it has plenty of road presence. The swoopy, coupe-like roofline gives it a sporty profile that stands out in a car park full of boxy SUVs. The Extended Range RWD trim keeps things clean and stylish, looking sharp without needing the extra flash of the GT models.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside and the cabin is a proper tech-fest, dominated by a massive 15.5-inch vertical touchscreen that acts as the car's command centre. It’s paired with a neat digital driver’s display, and you get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. There's ample room for five adults to get comfy. Practicality is a strong suit, with 402 litres of boot space expanding to a huge 1420 litres with the seats down. Plus, you get a properly useful 100-litre 'frunk' under the bonnet for stashing charging cables.

Performance & Driving Experience

Don’t let the SUV shape fool you; this Mach-E has some proper kick. The single Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor sends 216 kW and a hefty 525 Nm of torque to the rear wheels, making for a 0-100 km/h sprint in just 5.6 seconds. The rear-wheel-drive setup delivers that classic, engaging handling enthusiasts love. It feels agile and responsive, especially in 'Untamed' mode, while 'Whisper' mode provides a serene cruise. Strong regenerative braking allows for easy one-pedal driving, making city traffic a breeze.

Range, Battery & Charging

This is the version for those who want to go the distance. With a hefty 91 kWh usable battery, Green Cars Compare calculates a real-world range of around 500 km, so there’s no range anxiety here. It’s efficient too, achieving 5.49 km/kWh. For juicing up at home, the standard 11 kW AC on-board charger will do the job overnight. Out on the road, it can slurp electrons at up to 150 kW from a DC fast charger via its CCS Type 2 port, getting you back on your way quickly.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

The Mach-E scores top marks for safety, boasting a full five-star rating from Euro NCAP. It comes loaded with Ford’s Co-Pilot360 suite of driver aids to act as your digital co-pilot. Standard kit on this trim includes adaptive cruise control with lane centering, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking, all designed to keep a watchful eye on the road around you. This comprehensive package provides peace of mind whether you’re navigating tight city streets or cruising on the motorway, making it a very safe family car.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Ford provides solid peace of mind for Mach-E owners. The main vehicle is typically covered by a 2-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty across Europe. Crucially, the high-voltage battery and electric drivetrain components are protected for a much longer 8 years or 160,000 km, with a guarantee that the battery will retain at least 70% of its original capacity. With far fewer moving parts than a petrol car, routine maintenance is minimal and won't break the bank, mainly involving checks on brakes, tyres, and fluid levels, making for hassle-free electric motoring.
