How reliable is the Mustang Mach E?
Official safety ratings on the Mach E haven’t been released yet, but you can reasonably expect it to meet or exceed the ratings of the Ford Escape.
Safety. The 2020 Ford Escape received the Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, while the 2019 version received a 5 out of 5 safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Expect the Mach E to receive similar safety ratings.
Reliability. The 2020 Ford Escape received a 3.5 out of 5 star reliability rating from J.D. Power, but this might not affect the all-electric Mach E rating. Though you can reasonably expect for it to have at least a 3-star reliability rating.
Recalls. Ford does occasionally issue recalls across its vehicle lineup. Considering the Mach E is its first all-electric SUV, there could be a possibility for some type of recall on it.
Bottom line
The Ford Mustang Mach E is the first all-electric SUV in the Ford lineup. Despite being branded as a Mustang, the Mach E differs from a traditional Mustang car. With a long range per charge and good safety features, the Mach E should be a popular buy — but watch out for potentially pricey insurance rates.
Before purchasing an auto insurance policy on your Mach E, you might want to compare different insurance companies to find the best option for you.
Frequently asked questions about the Mustang Mach E
No, you will need to buy the Mach E from an electric vehicle-certified Ford dealership.
Very little other than the name. Ford decided to give its first all-electric SUV the Mustang brand name — and it does share some styling similarities with the high performance car — but nothing else is the same.
It’s pretty much right in line with where you would expect it to be considering its base price. But the yearly rates are expected to be more expensive than the overall national average by over $1,500.
There are cheaper electric SUVs on the market with lower insurance rates, but there are also more expensive luxury ones that cost more to insure. The Mach E is a mid-tier electric vehicle to buy and insure when compared to other vehicles of its class.
