Video Summary
Here's the summary of the YouTube video:
The Mustang Mach-E GT, sits atop the electric Mustang range and costs £74,500. The base model starts at £51,000. The term 'pony car' originally describes a sporty coupe. The car retains the signature Mustang rear lights. The boot has 402 litres of space and the tailgate can be opened by kicking a foot under the rear bumper. The wheels are 20-inch alloys with a lattice design that costs £400 extra, in a black finish. They're wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires, which are dedicated to electric vehicles.
A keypad on the driver's door enables entry without the key. Inside, the car has well-bolstered Ford performance seats; although a bigger frame is necessary to be best-suited for the hug from the seat. The interior has suede panels, soft leather, and shiny bits. The interior door pockets are not lined; this feature could raise the premium feel. There's storage for two phones, and one can wirelessly charge, plus space for two cubbies. Under the GT-embossed armrest, you can find a cubbyhole.
The 15.5-inch touchscreen features over-the-air updates. Several driver-assistance modes can be selected. A cross-traffic alert system warns of approaching cars. The reverse camera has a 360-degree view and the car features BlueCruise technology to allow hands-free driving. The review concludes the sound system is from Bang & Olufsen and that the roof is panoramic. There's room in the back for three passengers. The all-wheel drive GT is capable of 62mph in 4.4 seconds.
There is an additional ‘untamed’ driving mode which sharpens steering and throttle. However, it can only be accessed if the conditions are right, and may cause a rapidly-reducing range. It comes with nearly 490 horsepower. Officially, it gets 300 miles between charges. Although Mustang is electric, the name gives it a futuristic feel. The GT is expensive, so the cheaper end of the Mustang range offers better value for the money. Mustangs have had a touch of rebelliousness about them, so does this car, albeit in a calmer fashion.
