Even though this is a new endeavor which has hence, made individuals feel a bit skeptical, Ford has given everyone their assurance that this vehicle will be worth it and shall live up to the legacy of the Mustang.
The story of this car began with the creators of the Mach-E working on a “compliance car”, an electric car meant for the purpose of fulfilling emissions regulations.

For a car to get the Mustang label on it, it must really be something incredible.

15 Great Speed
The speed the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT has to offer is in a league of its own. The engine is capable of producing 332 horsepower and 417 lb-ft of torque, and takes less than 6 seconds to power from 0 - 60 mph. For an unforgettable thrilling experience, this is your car.

The model comes with a panoramic glass roof option, which ends up covering almost the entire roof with a single glass panel. It isn’t possible to close the panel, but the sun will not be an issue since the glass is UV protected. With an interior like this, you will find a lot of comfort in this car.
13 Handles Really Well
The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT has almost zero body roll and barely any tire squeal. This is probably because of the low center of gravity created by the floor-mounted batteries. Slalom tests have so far showcased that the car handles almost completely flat while going down a straight line. It’ll be lovely through the corners

11 Not Too Tall
Some cars feel a bit too tall, which can feel slightly uncomfortable and annoying. Most crossovers tend to feel that way, and one would expect this car to feel taller than the standard Mustang. But, it doesn’t feel too tall and feels more like a wagon instead of a classic SUV.
10 Best Mustang Cabin
Out of all the Mustang cars out there, the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT has the most premium-feeling cabin to this day.

9 Frunk Time
Tesla models are known to have a front trunk area known as a frunk. Ford has borrowed this concept for the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT. Along with a lot of storage space in both the front and the back, what makes this even cooler is that the frunk has a drain - so it can be an ice cooler too.
8 Turn The Noise On Or Off
Electric vehicles are not meant to make a noise, but usually, that is what people look for in a sporting vehicle. Ford dealt with this conflict by creating a fake low volume rumble whenever the accelerator is pressed. In case you prefer your peace and quiet, you also have the option of turning this fake noise off.
7 It Has New Technology
The infotainment system of the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT debuts Ford’s next-generation SYNC infotainment system that considers the driver's preferences and allows them to make suggestions too. The setup includes a vertical 15.5-inch center screen along with a 10.2 information cluster placed in front of the driver. It promises to be one of the best systems in the class!

The Mustang label should speak for itself. Besides the standard performance and badging of a Mustang car, the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT also has other Mustang design elements such as aggressive headlights, a rear haunch, a long hood, and trademark tri-bar tail lamps. The grille of the vehicle is also similar to the pony car.
5 3 Technological Style Options
