Ford's 'Mustang-Inspired' Electric SUV Will Have a 370 Mile Range
Jason Torchinsky April 2, 2019
The “Mustang-inspired” part is likely going to be limited to design and detailing, as we can see in one of the released teaser pics that the SUV has Mustang-style three-bar taillights:
Other teasers have highlighted an illuminated Mustang horse badge:
I imagine Ford will try to make it a pretty fast vehicle to maintain Mustang dignity, but, as is the case with almost any electric car, giving it good accelleration really shouldn’t prove to be a problem.
No matter what, 370 miles of range is pretty impressive, and beats the Tesla Model X’s 295 miles by a good margin, and Tesla’s new Model Y’s range of 230 to 280 miles by even more.
If I had to guess, I’d say what we’ll eventually see is a fastback-style mid-sized SUV with Mustang-like taillights, badging, grille treatment. Maybe we’ll also see the traditional Mustang side scoops and the twin-arch dash inside.
It’ll be an electric SUV dressed in a Mustang costume, really, but with good range and performance, that may be just what Ford needs.
