The 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E is one of the brand’s most prominent electric SUVs, with a gorgeous appearance, capacious cabin and extensive drive range. But can it beat the 2022 Porsche Macan, a sport utility vehicle that is highly regarded for its blistering performance and sporty appearance?
Design & Style
The Macan is a dual turbocharged powerhouse that can seat five people. It comes with a number of key features such as a suspension which is adaptive, rotors built with tungsten carbide and the torque vectoring differential, all of which give it superb handling. All-wheel drive has now been standardized and buyers also have the option of summer tires.
The Ford Mustang Mach-E also seats five and is named in honor of the legendary car. Its interior features a roomy back seat, generous cargo space and numerous storage options for small items. Its latest features for this year include standardized heated steering, heated frontal seats and a roof which features black paint for those that purchase GT. It can also be purchased in pure white paint, which is named the Ice White Edition, and this SUV sits on nineteen inch wheels.
Technology & Safety
The Ford Mustang Mach-E comes with multiple driver assistance functions, which include frontal impact alerts, emergency automatic brakes, notifications for cross traffic in the rear, blind area monitoring and lane management. Luxuries within the cabin include wifi, an audio system from Bang & Olufsen, Android Auto or Apple CarPlay, sixteen inch touch displays and climate control.
The Porsche Macan comes with plenty of driver assistance features of its own, such as adapted cruise control, multiple airbags, emergency automated brakes and lane departure alerts. Luxuries inside its cabin consist of USB ports, wifi, Apple CarPlay, twelve volt outlets and climate control with powered seats covered in leather and premium audio.
Performance
Those desiring peak performance from the Macan will purchase the GTS, which has a dual turbocharged V6 engine which is capable of generating 434 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in only 3.5 seconds and a towing capacity of 4,409 pounds. Those that purchase the Ford Mustang Mach-E can generate 346 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 5 seconds and tow 3,306 pounds.
The Bottom Line
Though both SUVs are evenly matched when it comes to seating capacity and safety credentials, the Macan has superior performance and towing capacity, making it better suited for recreational trips. Additionally, the Ford Mustang Mach-E has been criticized for its inconsistent ride quality and the Porsche offers more cargo space at 53 cubic feet versus only 29 cubic feet for the Ford Mach-E, which makes the Porsche Macan the winner.
