Demand is high for crossover SUVs, and reputable brands in the automotive industry keep meeting the expectations of gearheads with new releases. Tesla Model Y and Kia EV6 are some of the best electric crossovers on the market today, but the strikingly different Mullen Five is about to challenge for a place on the list.
An EV that won the ‘Top SUV’ title when it debuted at the 2021 LA Auto Show’s ZEVAS Awards, the Mullen Five is a premium compact SUV that is designed to offer luxury and performance. Mullen, an emerging electric vehicle brand and the manufacturer of the Mullen Five, says it will begin production of the SUV at the end of 2023. While everyone waits for the release of a vehicle that looks ready to join the list of the best SUVs and Crossovers, here are a few things we know about the Mullen Five.
10 Electric Superpower
The Mullen Five is an electric vehicle powered by a 95 kWh Lithium-Sulfur battery pack. This battery pack offers the SUV EV five times more energy density compared to one made of Lithium-ion.
With this battery pack, Mullen gives gearheads an efficiently powered electric superpower that lovers of crossover can always trust to keep them going.
9 Power Up And Come Alive In Minutes
When the battery charge gets low, the DC fast charger feature is there to help out. The battery pack is developed to enable fast charging, making it fast charge from 0 to 80% in about 21 minutes.
With an 80% power charge, the Mullen Five lasts up to a range of 260 miles.
8 Fast And Furious
The Mullen Five comes with a dual-motor configuration that allows an all-wheel drive and a top speed electronically limited to 155 mph.
With one full charge, the Mullen Five can go as far as 325 miles. The much-anticipated electric vehicle can go from 0 to 60mph in just 3.2sec, an acceleration ability that puts it on par with the Tesla Model S Plaid.
7 Exterior Elegance
The exterior elegance of the Mullen Five makes it the true compact crossover. The electric vehicle is furnished with four huge Pirelli P Zero tires mounted on all four wheels of the vehicle. Mullen offers six bright finishing options including white, gold, silver, blue, red, and black.
The headlights are positioned beautifully, and the slim rear light improves the aesthetic prowess of the vehicle. The Brembo brakes are not just for performance, but they add beauty to the tires.
6 An Inside Scoop Fitted To Personal Taste
The inside scoop is fitted to satisfy each driver’s taste with customizable interior configurations. The minimalist steering wheel with the Mullen logo, touchscreen display, and digital instrument cluster makes the interior as beautiful as the exterior, but that is not all.
The wood trim and black upper dash combine with features like ambient lighting and light upholstery to bring life on the inside. Our only worry is the lack of buttons that means the driver must operate every feature via the touchscreen interface.
5 Grist For Your Mill
The Mullen Five EV offers a level 2.5 advanced driver-assist system to give you convenience while driving. There is an active noise cancellation feature that rids you of any noise discomfort. The facial recognition, sentry mode, and voice control make this vehicle a comfortable ride as well.
This SUV EV has a luxurious rear-seat setup that makes the ride convenient for anyone in the back seat. The fold-down surfaces and wireless phone charging are other convenience features provided in the Mullen Five.
4 Infotainment Excellence Delivered On A Platter
The anticipated SUV EV provides drivers with infotainment excellence on a platter with the multi-LED intelligent LIVE technology.
The interior of the SUV has a digital driver’s display and central infotainment screen, plus a tablet-style screen for rear passengers. All of the infotainment features are touch and voice-controlled.
3 Eco-Friendly
Mullen Five, like many other EVs, does not affect the environment negatively. When that and other factors were considered, it won the ZEVAS award.
The EV is a pure electric automobile produced with ecological considerations. Zero-emission quality is a solution to possible environmental issues caused by air pollution.
2 Living The True American Dream
Mullen, the Southern California startup, says that the Mullen Five is designed, engineered, and manufactured in the United States exclusively.
With a design that follows the California Landscape and California Urban themes, this is an SUV that will thrill many people.
