    I ended up buying the Mach E because it was a 4 month wait here in Canada vs a 2-3 year wait for the EV6. I absolutely love my Mach E, but I agree with the comments about the ride. I joke that sometimes it feels like you’re riding an actual Mustang stallion. 🤣 That being said, the seats are VERY comfortable.
    After three months of ownership, I would say that my biggest complaint with the Mach E is that it is just too much fun to drive! 😁 On a smooth road, it is so quiet that driving at anything less than 90km/h feels like you’re barely moving at all.

    Here in Norway both of them are selling very well and has taken a huge bite of the Tesla market.
    We went for the ev6. Love this car. The screen floates much better with the dashboard and it is a lot easier to find what you're looking for on the screen and concentrate at the same time, since the screen is on the same level all the way. Like the mercedes. And the 7 year guarantee is really good

    Is there a better looking SUV on the market? Hardly, unless you are nerdily focused on streamlines and efficiency. In that case nothing can threaten a Model Y. My brain goes for that, my heart goes for these.

  • @anthonyc8499

    In the AWD extended range form, both the EV6 and Mustang Mach-E are pretty comparable. The Mustang Mach-E has a roomier interior, better infotainment system with full OTA capabilities, and more cargo room. The full glass roof on the Mach-E is amazing for backseat passengers but the EV6 has the ability to open its small sunroof. EV6 rides better, has better acceleration, and the charging speeds make a difference on trips longer than 5 hours.

    In a perfect world I would want the Mach-E exterior with the EV6 interior. At least Kia made an attempt to integrate the displays. The massive tacked on afterthought screens is a trend that needs to disappear, along with everything being piano black and fake buttons for basic controls. On the tires, bigger isn't better. I'd prefer 18s on the streets here in VA USA. That would also help with the harshness

    Went with the Mach-E for the Frunk, Plug & Charge, styling, Blue-Cruise, and navigation automatically adds charging stops on long trips. Wish it charged faster but from the long trips I've taken it charges fast enough. I don't feel like its taking too long.

    @teamnotleafy6887 Před rokem +2

    Liked the Mustang but the handling was just a bit twitchy on the rear end on long high speed bends. Also agree with Tish on its power delivery, I nearly rear-ended the car in front in whisper mode and found myself stopping half a car back at lights just to avoid that. Bought the KIA AWD in the end for the 240kW charging plus the HUD. I also am not a CUV fan and prefer the lower ride of the EV6. It's a brilliant tourer, comfortable, quiet and calm and the big mirrors and ADAS lane changing make motorway night driving in rain so relaxed. It's viciously fast away from lights in sport mode, has great handling and more usable space than my SAAB 9-5 estate. I do wish it had the range of the LR Mustangs though, currently getting about 220 miles at 70-73 in the cold weather with rain and headwinds, although I am still learning to use a lesser right foot than is needed with ICE.

    Great review. Son has a Mach E, we have the Kia. Yeah, some give and take with both, but the reason we bought the Kia was simple. Faster charging. Not even close. The 800v charging architecture allows us in and out of a DC charger much faster than the Mach E. Recently took a 600 mile trip and at the charging stations, we met Mach E charging as we started and we left the Mach E at the charger when we were done. Could not have convinced my better half to buy a slower charging car. Bought another one for myself for that reason.

  • @reza9177
    @reza9177 Před rokem +1

    Today I had a test drive of both. I really like the smothness in Ev6, but I think they have just gone two much far with using LCD display. I mean they have covered almost half of the front front cabin with LCD. It is not very user-friendly with the software. Mach E however a bit mor expensive in middle class models, it has a sharp driving and gives you the feeling of a SUV; the so called superiority feeling 😅. And yes, it is not as resposive as EV6.
    I should admit EV6 is really nice in exterior but it looks like a mutant KIA. But I think you get mustang like feeling from Mach e exterior.
    In conclusion I rather Mach e.

    The claimed 0 - 60 times on Ford's website don't match yours (and are off by quite a bit), so I'm wondering if these are your tests? Or maybe the Euro-spec is different? Ford has:
    GT: 3.8 seconds
    GTPE: 3.5 seconds
    Std Range RWD: 5.8 seconds
    Std Range AWD: 5.2 seconds
    Extended Range RWD: 6.1 seconds
    Extended Range AWD: 4.8 seconds
    I'm just wondering where your numbers are coming from and if there really is a difference in spec. I'm fairly certain I've done 0-69 faster in my AWD extended range Mach-E on regular road tires (thought I haven't bought a Draggy yet) than the 5.8 you have quoted in the video.
    Not trying to be a jerk, just providing feedback and seeking clarification. :-) It's a good video!

  • @remz5722
    @remz5722 Před rokem +1

    Good review, would like to point out a minor mistake on the ev6 and something worth noting on the mach-e:
    1. EV6 AWD has 605nm peak torque, not 450nm as said in the video. (GT version has 740nm).
    2. the Mach-E has it's performances electronically limited after 62mph; i.e. it becomes a tractor after that.
    while it has a 0-60 speed of 3.7s, it's 0-124mph speed is 62.2s, in comparison, the EV6 gt-line (mid range awd) does 0-115mph(elec.limited) in a fraction over 20s.
    So if you want power, you would want to go with either an EV6 GT-line or EV6 GT rather than any of the mach-e models. On the 1/4 mile the EV6 GT-line is only a fraction slower than the Mach-e GT, even though it has 155bhp less, and 235nm less torque.
    but hopefully you want more out of a car than just power, in which case the choise might not be as easy :)
