2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E: Winter Testing All-Wheel Drive | Ford

There are certain conditions that can only be achieved in

winter

, slippery roads, icy conditions, so unless you subject a vehicle to those conditions, you never really know how it will perform. We are currently finishing all our adjustments. Finally having everything in the right place at the right time and each of those things can affect the performance of the all-

wheel

drive

. People don't think about electric vehicles in

winter

because there really isn't an electric vehicle that meets the needs of an all-

wheel

drive

SUV in winter and the maquis for the first time really meets those needs. The ability of all-wheel drive to adapt to changing conditions means that if you are in a more grippy condition, like on a highway or something, you have all that acceleration, but as soon as you get off that road onto a road covered in snow, you have the control you would expect.

I mean, it's extremely cold here and it doesn't matter how much we stress the battery with cold temperatures. This vehicle is capable of performing our teams have to work to have this close coordination between the brake controls and the propulsion controls all-wheel drive and slippery snow surfaces the vehicle tracks amazing in all environments before we started this program we drove each one of the competitive products that exist and we immediately began to notice that there were many opportunities for improvement. We've continued to improve the maquis along the way to make it one of the best electric vehicles out there.

I mean, it blows your mind. How this car accelerates in the snow, we have something that anyone can get behind the wheel and immediately be surprised at how well it performs, they'll get behind the wheel and know there's something different about it and I don't. I don't think they'll ever be disappointed, we have two weeks of winter development left and we're finishing up a few things, but I'm really excited about where the car is and I can't wait to see what people say. Think about it, they will be so impressed with the way the vehicle drives and the space they have when they see it in the driveway showing it off to their families, it will be amazing.
