26.05.2022 /

The Ford Mustang Mach-E scored the best in the What Car test. The car on 18-inch wheels traveled 486 kilometers on the battery. The second finished Tesla Model 3 LR with 457 kilometers, the third was the Porsche Taycan 4S with an enlarged battery, which covered 452 kilometers.

Ford Mustang Mach-E is the best, but with the smallest rims

The test was supposed to simulate natural driving conditions, so it was carried out on the track in Bedfordshire. During this process, attempts were made to simulate city driving, ring road and motorway driving at 113 km / h (70 mph). Normal (non-fuel) modes have been selected, which seems reasonable since most cars are activated by default right after starting. The default mode was regenerative braking.

The first was the Mazda MX-30, which traveled 32 kilometers (~ 185 kWh) on a battery. The second to last was the New Fiat 500 with 225 kilometers. The entire ranking looks like this (source):

  1. Ford Mustang Mach-E XR rear (Segment D-SUV, battery 88 kWh) – 486 km,
  2. Tesla Model 3 LR (D, ~ 73 kWh) – 457 km,
  3. Porsche Tycan 4S Performance Battery Plus (E, 83,7 kWh) – 452 km,
  4. Audi Q4 e-tron 40 S-line (C-SUV, 77 kWh) – 428 km,
  5. e-Niro (C-SUV, 64 kWh) – 414 km,
  6. Volkswagen ID.3 Lifetime Pro Performance (C, 58 kWh) – 364 km,
  7. Renault Zoe R135 (B, 52 kWh) – 335 km,
  8. Skoda Enyak IV 60 (C-SUV, 58 kWh) – 333 km,
  9. Fiat 500 Icon (A, 37 kWh) – 225 km,
  10. Mazda MX-30 (C-SUV, ~ 32-33 kWh) – 185 km.

Ford had an advantage over Tesla and Porsche because it used the smallest 18" rims, while Tesla used 19" Sport (not Aero) rims and Porsche used 20" Taycan Turbo Aero rims, which could reduce range of both. cars by a few percent. This does not change the fact that People who want a good D segment car and don't want a Tesla should seriously consider the Ford Mustang Mach-E. with a larger battery and rear wheel drive. Possibly the upcoming Kia EV6 (when the first tests come out).

Among the more affordable cars (also in Poland), he showed himself the best. e-Nirohaving driven 414 kilometers on the battery. Immediately after her, but with a much weaker result, he came VW ID.3 - both of these models need to be considered when we need a car, both for the city and for travel. In turn, Renault Zoe will be the best choice for the city, but here it is worth remembering that at very low temperatures, its air-cooled can “lose” part of the power reserve.
