What is Ford's true classic legacy? Probably the average person would say Fox, Explorer, or F-150.
But if you ask someone from Ford, the answer must be: Mustang.
From the first generation of Mustang in 1964, the current 2.3T Mustang is six and a half generations. For 57 years, The Mustang has been the hard-topped coupe of this Pony Car.
However, this time, the driver Pai bought a different Mustang, which is also the first Mustang SUV, and it is a pure electric model. Is this "pure electric SUV" Mustang worth it?
Friends who are familiar with the driving party know that Mr. Liu went to Los Angeles at the end of 2019 to witness the first hanging Mustang logo, the first SUV in the history of Mustang, and the world premiere of a pure electric model - The Mustang Mach-E. At that time, we set up a Flag: we want to buy this car and experience the changes of history.
Exactly 24 months later, our Flag came true. In fact, on April 13 last year, drivers booked a Mustang Mach-E. A few days ago, the delivery manager of the Ford electric car direct sales store finally informed us that we could pick up the car, and the mood at the moment was very "a rowing boat".
In fact, buying a Ford electric horse today is very different from the previous car purchase process, and it really feels like buying a car for a new force.
First of all, as Ford's first pure electric SUV model in the world, Ford tried "direct sales" in China. What is direct marketing? Unlike direct sales, direct sales are operated by the manufacturers themselves; and direct sales can be understood as an agency system, the establishment of exclusive store sales, a price, no additional costs, no bargaining process, the payment is paid directly to the Ford Electric Vehicle Division. This is completely different from the previous need to bargain with dealers, and consumers can buy with peace of mind.
Due to the different sales models, the process of buying Music Mach-E is also a few more steps. In the past, they were all optimistic about the car, paying at the dealer, directly picking up the car and leaving, now it is to see the car first, then pay the deposit, and then pay the full amount when the car arrives.
If you really plan to buy a Ford Electric Horse, you first need to pay a 5,000 yuan deposit on Ford Electric Horse's exclusive APP "MustangMach-E", and then Ford Electric Will let you sign an electronic contract on the APP. After that, your APP will display the information of the reservation, scheduling, delivery, delivery time and so on. Of course, in the future, this APP will also become a way for you to control Mach-E, including remote control, Bluetooth key and charging management.
When the vehicle arrives at the delivery center, the delivery manager will notify the delivery center to inspect the vehicle first. Because of the particularity of electric vehicles, in addition to normal testing items, it is especially necessary to check whether the chassis is damaged and so on. After the car inspection is no problem, you can pay the balance to the Ford electric car side and wait for Ford to issue you an invoice.
Usually after three days, the delivery center receives the invoice information, at which point the vehicle is ready to be licensed and insured. Then when you come to the delivery center for the second time, you can complete the delivery ceremony and drive your beloved electric horse home.
In fact, the Mustang Mach-E purchased by the driver's pie is a relatively rare borderless rear-drive version, that is, a version with the configuration of the standard endurance of the Yueshi edition, but the version of the battery pack with long endurance, which can achieve CLTC standard endurance of 619 kilometers. However, judging from the 100% charge at the time of delivery, the range shown is 499 kilometers.
Let's take a brief introduction to our car. In appearance, the Mustang Mach-E still has the characteristics of Mustang - a very muscular feeling, and then an exclusive front face only available in the overseas GT version, and a classic three-poster taillight. As for the power system of this electric car, the output of 224kW and 430N·m is almost the same as the 2.3T Mustang just now, which is also a must for Pony Car.
However, as an introductory configuration version, the Mach-E Borderless Afterdrive Edition has some differences in appearance from the Deluxe Edition.
The first is that the headlights do not have Mustang's classic three-poster daytime LED lights, and they are not matrix light groups, without the cool ritual sense of start-up.
The second is that the body wrappers are different. The entry-level version of Mach-E is still made of black hard plastic on the body wrap, the deluxe version is bright black trim, which is more advanced, and the GT version even has the same color as the wheel eyebrows. Of course, the advantage of the entry-level version is that it is not painful to wipe and hang, and you can also paste bright black stickers yourself, which is a small cost and a big transformation.
There is also a difference in the rearview mirrors, the black rearview mirrors used in the Deluxe Edition are more sporty, while our Borderless Rear-Drive Version's rearview mirrors are the same color as the body.
The other is that the wheel hub is different. The Frontierless Afterdrive Version is this iron gray matte 18-inch blade wheel, which is not as good as the high-end 19-inch, and it seems that the follow-up still has to spend money to change it.
The rest of the place is pretty much different, but there is no double-layer soundproof glass in the front window, and the trim of the front dashboard in the car is not the black carbon fiber style but the shiny trim. In addition, the car's audio is a 6-speaker pioneer sound, and the high-end is the B&O that young people like.
The others in the car like the 15.5-inch large screen, SYNC+ 2.0 system, and the standard Mobileyes Q4 chipset, these are all the same, so it is still very thick.
Finally, let's talk about the price that everyone cares about.
Our borderless after-drive version enjoys subsidies of 282,000 yuan, while the enterprise purchase subsidy is about 5,000 yuan less. This time we bought 2 million yuan of three insurance, there are 5 seat insurance, the insurance premium is about 5610 yuan, do not pay the purchase tax and car and ship tax, so the individual consumer subsidy is less than 290,000 yuan.
Generally, after the owner picks up the car, he will choose some additional items, such as driving recorders, films, and mats, and in the mall of the Ford Electric Horse APP, you can exchange points and can also buy. For example, the film is 1360 yuan, the foot pad is 780 yuan, and there are fine products such as sunshades and driving recorders. In addition, you can also choose the service worry-free project of Ford electric vehicles, and there are also entertainment service packages exclusive to the car console, including QQ music members, Himalayas, iQiyi and so on.
All in all, this is a Muskang electric SUV of less than 300,000 yuan, which is 100,000 yuan cheaper than the previous Mustang landing. I have to say that this can really be called "the first Wild Horse of Chinese young people!" ”
In the end, how does this electric horse open and how to use it? Welcome to continue to pay attention to the long test content of the driving party, and tell you about it next time~~
