DEARBORN: Ford has tested its all-electric
Mustang
Mach-E in extremely cold and hazardous conditions at Smithers Winter Test Center, an 800-acre facility in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
The Northeast United States is bracing for record cold and accumulating snow, according to forecasts, a surprise given we’re almost two months into spring. Fortunately, the newest Mustang – the all-electric Mustang Mach-E SUV – will soon arrive to tackle the most challenging road conditions with available all-wheel drive, a key feature that is helping to attract new customers to the brand, the company said in a statement.
Here, Ford development engineers have worked to evaluate performance over the most challenging roads and in the harshest of elements.
Mustang Mach-E’s available all-wheel-drive system is proving popular with customers across the US, particularly in northern and Midwestern states – and almost all reservations in New England include all-wheel drive.
“Mach-E’s available all-wheel drive is designed to help instill driver confidence in all conditions,” said Robert Iorio,
Ford Mustang Mach-E
vehicle engineering manager. “The team has integrated e-drive propulsion, all-wheel-drive calibration and brake control in a way that optimizes fine motor skills to enable an immediate response in low-traction conditions and ensure the performance expected from Mustang – even in the snow.”
Mustang Mach-E starts at $43,895, not including an available $7,500 federal tax incentive; with it.
