Ford Mustang Mach-E
VS
The Ford Explorer EV swaps the Mustang Mach‑E’s athletic poise for SUV practicality, three-row space and a taller stance — ideal if you need family duties, towing and sensible range without sacrificing slick tech. But if you crave sharper handling, a sportier silhouette and a more emotional drive, the Ford Mustang Mach‑E remains the more thrilling, style-forward choice for buyers who want smiles per mile.
Ford Capri
Ford Mustang Mach-E
VS
The Ford Capri is pure 1970s charisma — a lightweight, analogue coupe that thrills with raw charm and classic looks but asks you to forgive creature comforts, modern safety tech and everyday reliability. By contrast the Ford Mustang Mach‑E slaps Mustang attitude onto an electric, family-friendly SUV with instant torque, roomy practicality and up‑to‑date tech, so if you want future‑proof performance the Mach‑E is the smarter, cleaner way to wear a pony badge.
