A new all-electric addition to the Mustang family is the 2021 Mustang Mach-E. Built with the passion that’s inherent in its iconic heritage, the Mach-E is the new flavor of freedom. Prepare to be blown away by exhilaration while having zero emissions. Here are four wild facts about the 2021 Mustang Mach-E.

All Mustang, No Emissions
Great care was taken by the engineers at Ford to ensure the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E was every bit the Mustang of its predecessors. The platform was re-engineered to include many features of the standard Mustang such as a fastback roofline, long hood and haunches, and changing the drivetrain from front-wheel to rear-wheel drive. The suspension has also been tweaked along with acceleration, braking, and many other features to make sure the Mach-E remains every bit a Mustang.

Your Driving Experience
Offering several different driving modes, the Mach-E allows you to customize your driving experience based on your mood or the road conditions. Each mode offers modifications to several settings such as steering, pedal feel, gauge-cluster graphics, and tuned sound. Perhaps you just want a nice, peaceful drive, then whisper mode is for you. If you want to max out aggression and crank all settings to ultimate performance, then go with unbridled mode.
For a balanced option between these two, choose engage mode. The beautiful thing about driving an EV is that over-the-air updates to your vehicle could potentially add even more modes down the road.

Performance Plus
The Mach-E offers a few different options as far as engine and battery performance are concerned. There’s an extended range battery, which will get you around 300 miles per charge, and the standard range that provides about 230 miles. The base makes 255 horsepower and 306 pound-feet of torque for the rear-wheel-drive option and 429 pound-feet of torque for the all-wheel-drive.
When it comes to performance, the zero to 60 mph time is always a stat that people enjoy. The base model gets you from zero to 60 mph in the five-second range. The California Route 1 model boosts the horsepower a bit up to 282. This really exciting model will be available at a later date. The GT and GT Performance Edition offer a zero to 60 mph time in the mid-three-second range and produce 459 horsepower and 612 pound-feet of torque.

Technology to Match
The technology starts with a 15.5-inch touch screen combining over-the-air updates, voice recognition, and cloud-based technology. It also comes with the standard Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of advanced safety features such as frontal collision warning with automatic braking, lane-keeping assist, and a blind-spot monitor. There’s also an optional active drive assist, which will act as an autopilot on over 100,000 miles of approved roads. Ford takes technology seriously to offer drivers a top-notch driving experience.
Making changes to a vehicle as iconic as the Mustang definitely has its risks. Ford did not take this lightly and really strived to ensure this vehicle maintained its heritage as a Mustang.
