How Does The Mustang Mach E Stack Up Against Other EVs, Like The Hot Hatch Polestar 2?
The Ford Mustang Mach E is no slouch on the track. Even its non GT version puts most SUVs to shame with a blistering 5.1-second 0-60 and its GT Performance Edition tears down the track with an even more impressive 3.5 second sprint from stop to 60 miles per hour. With such speeds, how does it compare to its competition like the Polestar 2, XC40 Recharge, muscle cars, like my Challenger, or even the Jeep Wrangler 4xe?

The Jeep Wrangler 4xe is probably the least of that list to be like the Mustang Mach E. While the Mach E may be marketed as a compact SUV, it is really more of a crossover. As I’ve mentioned before, its ground clearance is only a half inch (1.25cm) higher than my Challenger R/T, so it can clear one extra Lego block before it tears up the underbody or any aftermarket skid plates installed. The Wrangler is my preferred because I feel that it offers more reliability and utility for my purposes; I don’t go off-roading frequently now, but when I have a more capable off-road vehicle, I enjoy hitting the trails here in sunny Florida. A Raptor iteration of the Mach E has been dreamed up by at least one artistic soul in a dramatic render, and it might be more of a competitor for the Wrangler. Of course, the Mustang wins on the track or road in races any day. Both are Domestic brands and both have some reliability issues, with at least one or two folks having difficulty charging their Mach E or having it turn into a brick on them.
