Ford Mustang Mach-E: Iconic Muscle Goes Electric in the Philippines
Mustang Spirit, Zero Emissions
The Ford Mustang Mach-E has officially arrived in the Philippines, priced at ₱3,499,000, marking Ford’s bold entry into the full-electric vehicle segment. This isn’t just another EV—it’s a Mustang, carrying decades of heritage into a new era of performance and sustainability. Ford Mustang Mach-E: Iconic Muscle Goes Electric
Since 1964, the Mustang has symbolized freedom, individuality, and raw power. Now, the Mach-E delivers that same spirit in a zero-emission package, combining sleek design cues with cutting-edge electric technology.
I’ve always believed that heritage matters most when it evolves. For readers, this means you’re not just buying an EV—you’re buying into a legacy that now runs on electrons instead of gasoline. And yes, it also means you can finally stop worrying about gas prices while still flexing Mustang style.
Efficient Performance with Extended Range
At the heart of the Mach-E is a dual permanent magnet synchronous motor driving all four wheels. This AWD configuration produces 290kW (394ps) and 676Nm of torque, delivering strong acceleration and quick response whether you’re navigating EDSA traffic or cruising on expressways.

An 88kWh extended-range lithium-ion NCM battery provides up to 550 kilometers of range (WLTP). Charging options include Type 2 (AC) and CCS2 (DC) ports, supporting AC charging up to 11kW and DC fast charging up to 150kW. A home wall charger replenishes the battery overnight, while a 150kW DC charger can take it from 10% to 80% in about 36–45 minutes.
I’ve always said range anxiety is the EV killer. For readers, this means the Mach-E gives you the freedom to drive from Manila to Baguio—and back—without sweating over charging stations. And yes, it also means you can finally stop making excuses about EVs being “just for city driving.”
Drive Modes for Every Mood
The Mach-E offers three selectable drive modes:
- Whisper Mode: Softer steering and throttle response for a composed ride.
- Engage Mode: Balanced comfort and performance for everyday use.
- Unbridle Mode: Sharpened handling and acceleration for dynamic driving.
Each mode subtly alters the driving character, giving owners the ability to tailor the experience.
I’ve always argued that cars should adapt to drivers, not the other way around. For readers, this means the Mach-E can be your calm commuter in the morning and your spirited weekend ride in the evening. And yes, it also means you can finally stop pretending you enjoy “eco mode” all the time.
One-Pedal Drive: Efficiency Meets Control
The 1-Pedal Drive system allows drivers to accelerate and decelerate using only the accelerator pedal. Lifting off activates regenerative braking, slowing the vehicle while recovering energy for the battery.
This reduces brake use, improves efficiency, and enhances control—especially in stop-and-go traffic.
I’ve always said Manila traffic is the ultimate stress test. For readers, this means less foot fatigue and more efficient driving. And yes, it also means you can finally stop explaining to passengers why you keep stomping on the brakes.
Bold Design with Mustang Heritage
The Mach-E retains the fastback silhouette and tri-bar tail lamps that define Mustang identity. A frameless grille with active shutters, LED projector headlamps, and sequential turn signals complete the look.
Nineteen-inch machine-finished aluminum wheels add confidence, while the drainable front trunk (frunk) provides versatile cargo space.
Inside, a panoramic glass roof opens up the cabin. The E-Latch door system replaces conventional handles for cleaner aerodynamics. Heated mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, and a hands-free power liftgate add convenience.
I’ve always believed design should be functional art. For readers, this means the Mach-E looks like a Mustang but works like a modern EV. And yes, it also means you can finally stop explaining why your “muscle car” has no exhaust pipes.
Comfort and Convenience
The cabin features perforated ActiveX synthetic leather seats with 10-way power adjustment for driver and passenger. Heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and rear vents ensure comfort.
A 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster and 15.5-inch capacitive touchscreen run SYNC 4A, offering enhanced voice recognition, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system.
Storage is generous: 402 liters behind the rear seats, expanding to 1,420 liters with seats folded. The 80-liter frunk adds space for muddy boots, sports gear, or beach essentials.
I’ve always said convenience defines luxury. For readers, this means the Mach-E is as practical as it is powerful. And yes, it also means you can finally stop stuffing groceries into the passenger seat.
Connected with FordPass
The Mach-E integrates FordPass Connect, allowing owners to manage the vehicle via mobile devices. Features include:
- Remote Start/Stop/Climate
- EV Charging Status
- Battery State of Charge
- Charge Session Details
- Target Charge and Departure Times
- Charge History
I’ve always argued that connectivity is the new horsepower. For readers, this means you can control your Mustang from your phone. And yes, it also means you can finally stop running back to the car to check if it’s locked.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Equipped with nine airbags, the Mach-E covers driver, passenger, front center, side, and curtain positions. A 360-degree camera with split view improves visibility.
Standard systems include ABS with EBD, electronic stability program, traction control, and SecuriLock anti-theft. Driver assistance features include:
- Collision Mitigation
- Reverse Brake Assist
- Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)
- Lane Keeping System
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Driver Impairment Monitor
I’ve always said safety is the ultimate performance feature. For readers, this means the Mach-E protects you while delivering thrills. And yes, it also means you can finally stop worrying about “EVs being unsafe.”
Pricing, Colors, and Charging Package
The Mach-E is priced at ₱3,499,000, available in Glacier Grey, Star White, Shadow Black, Velocity Blue, and Grabber Yellow.
Each purchase includes a 3.5kW portable charger and a 7kW wall box charger, ensuring owners can charge at home.
I’ve always argued that charging infrastructure starts in your garage. For readers, this means you’re ready to go from day one. And yes, it also means you can finally stop fighting for sockets at the mall.
Dealership Availability
The Mach-E is available at select Ford dealerships: Alabang, Balintawak, Cebu, EDSA, Global City, Libis, and Marikina.
I’ve always said accessibility defines adoption. For readers, this means you don’t have to travel far to experience the future of Mustang. And yes, it also means you can finally stop saying, “EVs are only for other countries.”
My Take: Why the Mach-E Matters
I’ve covered countless car launches, but the Mustang Mach-E stands out because it blends heritage with innovation. It’s not just an EV—it’s a Mustang, with performance, design, and technology that redefine expectations.
What I like most is the balance. It delivers thrills without emissions, convenience without compromise, and connectivity without complexity.
For readers, the benefit is clear: you’re getting a vehicle that honors tradition while embracing the future. And yes, it also means you can finally stop choosing between performance and sustainability—because the Mach-E gives you both.
