Video Summary
Here is the requested summary of the YouTube video:The Mustang Mach-E was among the first to challenge the Tesla Model Y.
The Mustang name was controversial for purists.
The Mach-E has become the second best-selling electric SUV, with nearly 40,000 sold in 2022.
The 2023 Mach-E is similar to previous models, with software updates and a new battery pack on standard range models.
It is a good-sized, attractive, quick, sporty SUV.
This Premium trim has the extended range battery and dual-motor all-wheel drive system.
The Mach-E does have a frunk with 4.7 cubic feet of space that can be locked, has a light, drain and an emergency release.
The frunk no longer has a partition that divided it into quadrants as it had in 2021.
The extended range battery has 91 kWh of usable capacity, higher than 88 in 2021 models.
The standard range model has 71 kWh.
It has a new lithium iron phosphate battery pack which improved range.
Lowest range models now do 224 miles, most will do around 250 miles.
Extended range with dual motor all-wheel drive has 346 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque.
It reaches 0-60 mph in 4.9 seconds.
Top speed is 114 mph.
It weighs 4,838 lbs.
The USA version is not rated to tow, but the European version tows over 3,000 pounds.
A new color for 2023 is Carbonized Gray Metallic.
There are no styling changes for this year, but there is a new Night Pony package that blacks out the wheels and accents.
All Mach-Es come standard with full LED headlights, a sequential LED turn signal, LED daytime running lights and LED low and high beams.
The lower area does not offer fog lights.
The interior has black ActiveX trim with contrast stitching and faux carbon fiber trim.
Seats are heated, 12-way power adjustable with three person memory.
There is a 15-speaker Bang and Olufsen stereo system.
The dashboard has hard touch plastic.
The reviewer does not like the key.
It has one speed reduction gear transmission.
There is no digital rearview mirror, head-up display, or cooled seats.
This model qualifies for a $3,750 tax credit.
Ford is offering an additional rebate of up to $6,250 on GT and GT Performance trims.
The overall conclusion is that the 2023 Mach-E, though not the newest option, is still worth a look. It is built off a modified D3 architecture, looks sporty and handsome, and is the second-best selling premium long-range EV on the market. The non-performance GT trim can be obtained at a lower price than this model, after rebate.
