Kelley Blue Book has just released its Best Buy Awards, and the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-e has taken home the title of “Electric Vehicle Best Buy of 2022.” Why did Kelley Blue Book decide that the Mach-e is the best electric vehicle that you can buy right now, and what does this electric SUV come with?

Kelley Blue Book calls the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-e the “Sports Car of SUVs”

Kelley Blue Book says, “Behold the Sports Car of SUVs,” and it fits the Mach-e. While the Mustang Mach-e and the traditional Ford Mustang may not have a whole lot in common, there’s no denying that the Mach-e is certainly a sporty SUV. Add to that the ability to choose from four engines with horsepower ranging from 266 to 480, and you have the opportunity to buy an electric SUV that’s truly powerful. The range for the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-e varies from 211 miles to 306 miles, depending on the engine you select.

In addition to the engine options, the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-e comes with three drive modes. These are Whisper, Unbridled, and Engage. Whisper mode is “best for serene, everyday commuting,” while Unbridled handles “the performance potential of the Mustang Mach-e.” Engage is a “happy medium between the two extremes.”

The Mustang Mach-e interior is really nice

The 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-e certainly has a sleek, sporty exterior, yet its the Mach-e’s interior that really shines. The Ford Mustang Mach-e interior is roomy with plenty of headroom. It can seat up to five with its synthetic leather seating. The Mustang Mach-e has a 15.5-inch touchscreen and a 10.2-inch digital cluster. It boasts a panoramic sunroof and features like hands-free driving.

The Mach-e also has a suite of safety systems known as Ford’s Co-Pilot360. Co-Pilot360 has safety features like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking.
