2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E

If the Cayenne is a Porsche, then the Mach-E can be a Mustang. That's pretty much where we land on this electric SUV's name, which so seems to anger a sizable subset of the population. Like the original Cayenne, the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E draws inspiration from the general concept and styling cues of its iconic namesake, and then applies it to a more practical and popular body style. Now, could the driving experience be more like a Mustang? Sure, but like the Cayenne, we don't see why that can't happen with subsequent model year updates and generations. In the meantime, we're just going to appreciate what the Mach-E is: a well-executed EV with compelling performance and character. We need more of them, and the Mach-E is a great one. Now, choosing a Mustang Mach-E can be complicated given the multiple trim levels, battery packs and the fact that adding all-wheel drive also ups performance. We take a deep dive into all of that below, but there's not really a combo to avoid – just some that will be a better match for your driving needs and budget. Even the range-topping Mach-E GT isn't a slam dunk as "the best choice" as its firmer ride won't be for everyone. Ultimately, the Mach-E's ability to offer a little something for everyone is one of its most Mustangy attributes. (Note that Ford has closed the order books for the 2022 Mustang Mach-E, so the only one to get one now will be to find one on a dealer lot and likely face hefty dealer markups. Ford has indicated it will be dramatically increasing Mach-E production for 2023).

Both Mach-E battery packs get increased usable capacity and therefore range for 2022. The California Route 1 trim can now be had with all-wheel drive, while the Ice White Appearance package debuts. This will also be the first full model year for the Mach-E GT, which we only recently reviewed, as well as the Blue Cruise advanced hands-free cruise control system option. There's also a new instrument panel design and some color changes: Cyber Orange (pictured above) and Grabber Blue are now available throughout the lineup and are joined by the new Iced Blue Silver. Carbonized Gray and Iconic Silver are discontinued. Note that Ford increased the originally published prices for the 2022 Mach-E by $1,000 or $2,000. The prices below reflect those new, current prices. What are the Mach-E interior and in-car technology like? There's nothing remotely Mustangy about the interior apart from the horse on the wheel, which is just fine. Material quality is far better than expected, compared to either the regular Mustang or Ford's recent disappointing efforts in the Escape and Explorer. Plastics are of a higher quality, and the dash and doors are mostly covered …
