‘New Ford Mustang Mach-E looks to a bright future’
What better way to sign off for Christmas than with a drive of an all-new Ford – a car that’s crucial not only for Britain’s biggest-selling automobile brand, but also for all our motoring futures as we step through this decade.
Ford is back again producing some great models these days. We’re big fans of its most current Puma and Kuga SUVs, while the Fiesta remains one of our much-loved superminis, and even the focus has won a group test this year.
Best electric cars to get 2022
And it’s great to report that the new Mustang Mach-E is, in the words of John McIlroy, a cracker. I was able to have a quick spin in the car, too, and really took pleasure in the range (up to 379 miles) and performance (0-62mph in as little as 3.7 seconds), and the fact that it does everyday car things so well. It looks fantastic, too, while the tech inside is innovative, but easy to use.

We’re well aware that the decision to ban the sale of new cars with internal-combustion engines in 2030 hasn’t gone down well with everyone – and clarity is still needed over what level of hybridisation will be allowed between 2030 and 2035. but models such as the Mustang are a crucial part of persuading people that driving can still be fun and functional in an electric car. and although the Mach-E starts at £40,270, EVs will become much a lot more inexpensive in the years between now and 2030.
That doesn’t indicate we’re going to stop enjoying and celebrating the internal-combustion engine now or beyond 2030; it will still be very much part of our world, and absolutely part of our magazine.
It’s not only big announcements that will make 2020 memorable – for good and for bad. but in what’s been a challenging time for everyone, I’d like to thank our team – who haven’t been in an office together considering that March – for their impressive work this year. and a lot more importantly, I’d like to thank you for your support throughout the year. We really do appreciate it, now a lot more than ever. Have a very delighted Christmas, from all of us at automobile Express.
