Ford Suggests Tackling Crazy Weather with Mustang Mach-E

Electric SUV’s available AWD is proving popular with customers across the U.S., particularly in northern and Midwestern states, reports Ford.

The Northeast United States recent record cold and accumulating snow is, of course, a surprise given that we’re almost two months into spring. Fortunately, the newest Mustang – the all-electric 2021 Mustang Mach-E SUV – will soon arrive to tackle the most challenging road conditions with available all-wheel drive, a key feature that is helping to attract new customers to the brand, reports Ford.

“Mustang Mach-E’s available all-wheel-drive system is proving popular with customers across the U.S., particularly in northern and Midwestern states – and almost all reservations in New England include all-wheel drive,” says the Blue Oval in a press statement about the hotly anticipated EV.

“Ford has tested its all-electric Mustang Mach-E in extremely cold and hazardous conditions at Smithers Winter Test Center, an 800-acre world-class facility in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Here, Ford development engineers have worked to evaluate performance over the most challenging roads and in the harshest of elements.”

“Mach-E’s available all-wheel drive is designed to help instill driver confidence in all conditions,” adds Robert Iorio, Ford Mustang Mach-E’s vehicle engineering manager. “The team has integrated e-drive propulsion, all-wheel-drive calibration, and brake control in a way that optimizes fine motor skills to enable an immediate response in low-traction conditions and ensure the performance expected from Mustang – even in the snow.”

The Mustang Mach-E starts at $43,895 and is currently taking reservations.

In a recent exclusive scoop by Electrek, Mark Kaufman, who is Ford’s Global Director of Marketing for the Mach-E, acknowledged that while there is “some uncertainty” in the time of CV-19, the release date of when customers can begin to test drive the new Mach-Es has not been affected nor postponed.

Kaufman confirmed to Electrek that in about “three to four weeks” Ford will finalize the Mach 1 delivery date this summer and announce when reservations will be converted to orders. The Motor Company previously announced that First-Edition and Premium models will hit dealerships later this year, with GT models due next summer.
