AWD GT and GT Performance models crank out 480 horsepower and 634 pound-feet of torque. Less powerful trims with RWD deliver 266 or 290 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. Select and Premium trims with AWD generate between 266 to 346 horsepower, and 427 or 428 pound-feet of torque.
Is the 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E Considered an SUV?
With its smooth, aerodynamic curves, the Mustang Mach-E is decidedly an SUV, but it’s a Mustang at heart and there are plenty of nods to the car’s storied past. The Mustang has been the epitome of cool since the 1960s, and that cool has been reimagined in the Mach-E.
Its front grille has been boldly redesigned but the prancing pony emblem remains, as do the classic three-bar tail lights so readily identifiable with the brand. In other words, although it’s an SUV EV you never forget you’re driving a Mustang. On top of flexing its style muscles, the Mach-E is surprisingly spacious and that little extra leg, head and shoulder room can make all the difference on long journeys.
Ford did not skimp on elegance in the Mach-E’s tech either—it offers multiple digital screens with physical buttons combining a new and vintage feel. It features a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster and a 15.5-inch SYNC 4A infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

- Automatic emergency braking and high beams
- Blind-spot monitoring
- Lane-keeping assistance
- Rear-parking sensors
There are even more options available, such as adaptive cruise control, BlueCruise hands-free driving assistance, and a 360-degree view camera.
