GOODBYE

€57,030 OTR/£58,180 as tested/£685 pcm

WHY IT'S HERE

Is an electric family SUV charming enough to be a 'Mustang'?

DRIVER

Jack Rix

WE'VE DONE A SWAPSIES. OUR RED MACH-E AWD EXTENDED RANGE for this faster, flashier, top of the range Mach-E GT. I say flashier because of the 20-inch rims, wider tyres, faux carbon blanked off grille and 10mm lower ride height, but it's probably even stealthier than EF70 EAK with its Dark Matter Grey paint - the only option fitted at £1,150. Famously brash Ford colours - Cyber Orange and Grabber Blue - are available exclusively on the GT, and honestly I'd be tempted to go for a brighter shade. But then I have the taste of a five-year-old.

You might have read Ollie Kew's first drive of the Mach-E GT, published last October, or Ollie Marriage's opinions on page 85. So I already know what I'm supposed to conclude here, what the sensible advice is to give: that there's very little - besides more nauseating acceleration - the £66k GT does over and above the £57k AWD version, or the £47k RWD (with the big battery for 373 miles of WLTP range) for that matter. It's another £9k (or around £150 a month) to go less distance on a charge than the AWD, and feel much the same while you're doing it.
