Introducing Ford’s Ford Mustang-Inspired Electric SUV

These are all the details so far

Folks, it’s now official Ford announced the debut of Ford Mustang-inspired electric SUV. The new crossover will be the automaker’s first dedicated pure-electric vehicle and will be simultaneously unveiled across the globe on November 17 at the 2019 Los Angeles Auto show. The automaker given no additional details apart from the photo and debut date. The photo will give you the best look at what to expect from the vehicle’s design.

 

Ahead of the announcement, Ford actually teased the side profile with published photos from 10 Instagram users. Each post represented a piece of the puzzle, putting the pieces together gives some of the design elements for its upcoming Ford Mustang-inspired electric crossover. The only other image provided by Ford since the vehicle was confirmed is a single shadowy teaser from the rear end of the Mustang-inspired SUV.

Little is known about the new Ford Mustang-inspired crossover EV, with the only public detail being the automaker’s goal to produce the SUV with an EPA-estimated 300-mile range, a tad short than Tesla X’s 305 range.

 

After Ford announced a partnership with Electrify America to help build its Ford Pass Charging Network, the charging station company might have added a few other details. In Electrify America’s announcement, it mentioned the Ford Mustang-inspired SUV would be rear-wheel drive and named an extended-battery pack. Once we reached for clarification, but Ford declined to comment.

The company was reported to consider using the Mach 1 name for the electric SUV, a substantial online backlash occurred as the name Mach 1 is associated with high-performance Mustangs. The company has since gone on to register the name Mach-E, which plays to both the car’s Ford Mustang-inspired styling and its electric underpinnings.

 

Ford will follow up the Mach-E, or whatever it’s called, with at least another 15 EVs, including an all-electric version of the next-generation F-150 pickup truck, and one, or perhaps more, European vehicle models, built on the dedicated EV architecture of the Volkswagen Group, dubbed MEB.

 

Speaking of electronic vehicles, Porsche has joined the race with the introduction of the 2020 Porsche Taycan last Sept. 4 in Niagara Falls Ontario. The range was announced as 450 kilometers, or 279 miles. Reportedly all 10,000 of the Taycan units allocated to North America has already sold, with an additional 10,000 to 20,000 slated for the rest of the world.
