Ford’s electric Mustang Mach-E SUV is priced from $79,990 (manufacturer’s list price).
And online reservations have opened via ford.com.au, which Ford says gives customers 24/7 convenience.
A trio of Mach-E variants to be offered for a choice of both range and performance, arriving in Australian showrooms late this year.
The Mustang Mach-E will be available in three variants: Select; Premium; and GT. Prestige paint is a $700 cost option (excluding LCT), says Ford Australia.
“We’ve had a brilliant response to Mustang Mach-E since we confirmed it for Australia a few weeks ago and can’t wait to give customers the chance to get behind the wheel later this year,” says Ford Australia and New Zealand president and chief executive Andrew Birkic.
Kicking off the line-up in Australia is the Mach-E Select, priced from $79,990 (MLP) with 470km range. This model boasts a 71kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery mated to a single electric motor which delivers 198kW power and 430Nm torque via the rear wheels.
New for 2023, the LFP battery will allow Ford to offer the Mach-E with fresh technology proving to be exceptionally durable, using fewer high-demand, high-cost materials and with the ability to sustain fast charging as it approaches maximum capacity, says Ford.
The Mustang Mach-E Premium is priced from $92,990 (MLP) and has a bigger 91kWh battery delivering 216kW power and 430Nm torque via a single motor on the rear axle, having up to 600km range.
The Mach-E GT is priced from $108,990 (MLP) and features the same 91kWh battery as Mach-E Premium but runs two electric motors (one at the front and one at the rear) delivering 358kW power and 860Nm torque to all four wheels with 490km range.
AutoTalk Australia previewed the Mach-E release.
It features FordPass connectivity which provides access to a range of information about the vehicle from afar via the smartphone FordPass App as well as key Electric Vehicle (EV) connected services and charging information
“Mustang Mach-E represents a shift from the traditional and will appeal to a wide range of buyers,” says Ford Australia marketing director Danni Winter.
“This is why we’ve made the decision to offer customers the chance to reserve their vehicle online. It’s a natural part of our digital evolution and allows our customers to shop with their Authorised Ford EV Dealer 24/7.”
To purchase a Mustang Mach-E, customers will need to access the Ford Australia online reservation portal.
After choosing their variant, customers will need to create a Ford Account and pay a set reservation fee of $1000 to the selected Authorised Ford EV Dealer.
Ford intends launching at least five electrified vehicles Down Under by the end of 2024.
