2024 Ford Mustang Mach E Summary

No brand courted controversy more than Ford when it stuck the legendary Mustang badge on an electric mid-size SUV.

Now finally here in Australia after a significant wait, the Mach-E is the Blue Oval’s first step into fully electric territory.

Something worthy of the Mustang badge?

Let’s find out.

We went to its Australian launch to find out.
