Three-and-a-half years after the controversial electric high-riding pony car was unveiled to the world, Australians now have the chance to reserve the 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E ahead of its arrival late this year, priced from $79,990 plus on-road costs.
Local pricing and specs for the three-tiered Mustang Mach-E range was the last piece in the puzzle after Ford Australia announced last week that it would open up online reservations from today, May 10 – now confirmed as kicking off from 2:00pm AEST.
Ford requires a $1000 deposit to secure your choice of the three Mach-E model variants available in Australia – Select, Premium and GT.
At the entry level, the 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E Select uses a single-motor/rear-drive powertrain producing 198kW and 430Nm of torque.
It draws energy from a 71kWh lithium-iron phosphate battery that should provide for a driving range of up to 470km.
The mid-series Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium is priced from $92,990 plus ORCs.
It also uses a single e-motor but boasts a higher output of 216kW/430Nm and a longer range of up to 600km from its larger 91kWh battery.
At the top of the range, the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT is priced at $108,990 plus ORCs.
It features a dual-motor/all-wheel drive EV powertrain that delivers 358kW/860Nm and enables 0-100km/h acceleration in a claimed 3.7 seconds.
The GT uses the larger 91kWh battery and carries a WLTP-verified range of 489km.
The only option listed is prestige paint at $700 across the range.
Mustang Mach-E equipment highlights
Powertrain is the key differentiator across the 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E line-up, but other important local specs have now emerged.
Equipment highlights on the entry-level Mach-E Select extend to a 15.5-inch infotainment screen (running Ford’s latest SYNC 4A operating system), a 360-degree camera, 10-speaker B&O sound
system (including subwoofer), wireless phone charging, eight-way electric front seat adjustment and Black Onyx Sensico seats with artificial leather trim across all five positions.
Exterior features include 19-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic glass roof and unconventional E-Latch door handles.
The Mach-E Premium adds LED projector headlights, higher-grade scuff plates and pedals, red contrast stitching to the Black Onyx Sensico seats (both front and rear), black headlining and multi-colour ambient lighting.
The Mach-E GT has several unique elements including MagneRide active suspension, the track-oriented Untame Plus drive mode (adding to the Active, Whisper and Untame modes common to all models), Brembo Flexira performance braking package and 20-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli tyres.
The GT’s cabin includes heavily bolstered Ford Performance front seats, trimmed in a soft-touch faux leather material.
All models have access to the FordPass app that enables a variety of specific EV connected services, such as destination planning with charging stations mapped along the way, as well as real-time traffic monitoring and suggested routes (again, with battery charge status and public recharging points factored in).
Australian customers have no choice other than to use Ford’s online reservation portal to purchase the Mustang Mach-E; dealers are not taking orders, but customers will be required to select a preferred dealership as part of the process.
