"The enemy of the good is the best". After the excellent impressions left by the rear-wheel drive Mach-E X RWD with 294 hp, it's time to live for a week of exciting moments with the four-wheel drive Mustang Mach E4 X AWD with 351 hp.
The evolution of Muscle Cars
The Mustang is one of the most popular Muscle Cars and a model that internationalised the term, enjoying worldwide success thanks to its classic character and the legacy of the past, starting the legend in 1964.Sixty years later, the famous Muscle Car has added to its range its first all-electric model, which deviates and features a sporty four-door Coupé Crossover Coupé, representing the evolution of Muscle Cars.
Combining the modern with the classic
Design-wise, as we've seen before in testing the 294bhp rear-wheel-drive Mach E, Ford has retained the timeless elements of the iconic model in a coupe-suv body.
In particular, looking at the car from the front, it's imposing, staying true to the wild and aggressive Mustang Family Look. Characteristic is the large trapezoidal grille, which is flanked by large Led headlights, which, combined with the muscular raised fenders and two pronounced vertical ribs on the hood, give it extra dynamism.
The profile is the feature that gives the car its most pronounced car identifier, capturing the Coupé silhouette.
Instead of a handle, the doors open automatically at the touch of a button. They thus form a single muscular surface with strong nerves and accentuated rear shoulders, redefining the "cinetic design" by giving a sense of movement, even when stopped.
The three vertical vertical headlamps on each side with Led graphics signify that the car belongs to the Mustang brand and are distinguished from the thermal Coupé and Convertible by the horizontal extension that runs centrally through them and extends into the boot. The ensemble is completed by the curved rear window that accentuates the dynamic character and the double aerodynamic diffuser at the bottom of the bumper.
Minimal and Hi-Tech
Opening the door, passengers enter a comfortable airy Minimal and Hi-Tech futuristic interior, giving the feeling of a time traveler.
The simple and simple lines make up the dashboard, the finish of which is made of high quality materials that give a good touch feeling and top quality construction!
The 15.5-inch vertical giant screen of the SYNC4 multimedia system stands out, which is tablet-like, compatible with Android Auto and Apple AirPlay and incorporates all the basic functions of the car.
Ergonomically, the car has everything the driver needs in the right position to reduce distraction while driving.
The seats provide top comfort with exemplary lumbar support. Space is plentiful for passengers, giving a luxury limousine feel, as the long wheelbase leaves plenty of legroom available.
Luggage volume is divided into 402 litres at the rear, which, with the rear seats fully folded, comes to 1,420 litres, plus a further 81 litres at the front.
It does not allow doubt
The efficient drive system consists of two powerful and advanced electric motors, one on each front and rear axle, providing the drive respectively. The result is a combined output of 351 horsepower and 580 Nm of torque, making it immediately clear that there is no question about it! Combined with an efficient lithium battery with a useful capacity of 91 kWh, with Ford announcing a nominal range of 550 km!
Focus on pleasure
A Mustang is always exciting, making you want to drive it. Having already gained positive impressions from the rear-wheel drive version, the more powerful four-wheel drive intensifies our anticipation! So let's get to know it in every possible condition and road network.
In the city has only the advantage of an all-electric movement and the fact that it is a real eye-catcher. On the contrary, its exuberant dimensions restrict it within the urban environment and the car cannot fold its rich qualities!
In the mountain and rural network, but instead it unfolds every talent and becomes a delight. The car pedals exemplarily and turns impressively, evoking the sporty nature of the brand name, all this in a body with a robust chassis, excellent brakes and ideal, well thought-out weighting.
On the motorway the driver will appreciate the excellent rolling quality and perfect soundproofing, features which, together with the low aerodynamic coefficient, make the journey a pleasant experience, all with a high sense of safety.
General the 351-horsepower all-wheel-drive Mustang is the ideal choice in the range. Four-wheel drive improves grip, while the power delivers raw power that translates into an enjoyable and exciting driving experience. The car remains perfectly stable and unlike the rear-wheel drive model, it doesn't allow for tailgating as it sticks to the ground. It has three driving modes, the Whisper, at the base which is the most economical, ideal for city driving. The Active which is positioned in the middle as the normal one and the exciting Untame which generously puts all the power of the engine at the driver's disposal and even with a sound reminiscent of a thermal muscle car, raising the pleasure levels to the highest levels!
Muscle Car philosophy with ecological concerns
The four-wheel drive Mustang follows the trifecta of Safety - Appearance - Performance, aimed at restless family drivers who embrace the philosophy of American Muscle Cars and at the same time have ecological concerns!
Gets away
The price of the car as expected goes away with Ford offering the four-wheel drive Mustang at price of 76.178€, which is reduced to €73,698 thanks to the company's "Ford Benefit" promotional programme.
