The Mustang Mach-e is an electric SUV with two battery pack options and a choice between rear-wheel-drive (RWD) or dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD). It offers a modern cabin with a 15.5-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, advanced driver assists, panoramic glass roof, premium sound system, and front and rear luggage compartments.

Mustang Mach-E Specs

Internationally, the Mustang Mach-E is offered in various variants, with the GT version featuring a large 98.8kWh battery pack, all-wheel drive, and a range of 350-380km. Internationally, the Mustang Mach-E is available in various configurations, featuring RWD or AWD, standard and extended-range variants, and a range of up to 600km. The CBU route is anticipated for its entry into India, making it an expensive option, possibly exceeding Rs 1 crore.

The Mustang Mach-E’s introduction as a CBU (Completely Built-Up) import is expected under an import rule allowing up to 2,500 units without homologation. However, given its potential high cost, it could face challenges, likely above Rs 1 crore.
