Video Summary
- The Mach-E Rally is an off-road performance package for the Mach-E GT, sharing the same battery pack and electric motors.- Exterior styling can be polarizing, while the front looks unique.
- The rally package includes unique front and rear fascias, a different front bumper, a tow hook, a skid plate, and all-terrain all-season tires with rally wheels. The seats are much better and aggressively bolstered.
- The mid-to-low $60,000 starting price includes BlueCruise. Ford heavily subsidizes the leases, with mid-$400s monthly payments and $5-6k down.
- The interior has good usability and lots of storage, but the infotainment is slow and cumbersome with occasional dropouts.
- Many touch points are cheap plastic.
- The model has a 91-kilowatt-hour battery, making about 700 pound-feet of torque and 480 horsepower.
- The rear motor has 380 pound feet of torque and the front around 315-320 pound feet.
- Range is around 230-240 miles, best case.
- The front and rear are open diff; they’re using torque vectoring by brake.
- Cold weather significantly impacts the range.
- There is more playfulness to driving at the limits compared to the standard model. It handles well due to calibrated steering, stability, and traction control, as well as retuned throttle maps and MagneRide dampers.
- Overall, the rally package adds life to the Mach-E.
- It’s recommended to lease because Mach-Es depreciate quickly.
- Compared to the Hyundai Ionic 5, this is more capable for rally cross.
