AUCKLAND, New Zealand, 28 September 2022 – The Ford Mustang Mach-E is now available to order in New Zealand for the first time, Ford today announced. The online reservation system went live this afternoon, with more than 100 customers already signed up.

The all-electric Mustang Mach-E – the first production Ford ever developed from the ground-up to deliver pure-electric, zero-emission driving – is arriving for customers in New Zealand from Q2 2023.

The Mustang Mach-E introduces the freedom, performance, and iconic character of the world’s best-selling sports car to all-electric vehicle customers. Powered by a responsive, energy-efficient, battery-electric drivetrain, the first-ever SUV member of the Mustang family delivers super-car-comparable performance and acceleration.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E Line up starts with the Mach-E RWD model at $79,990 drive away*, which will qualify it for the government’s Clean Car Rebate. The complete line up with pricing and performance is as follows:

Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Set to Thrill

Propelled by more torque than any production Ford road-vehicle ever offered to customers in New Zealand, the Mustang Mach-E GT can sprint from 0-100 km/h in 3.71 seconds – making it Ford’s fastest accelerating New Zealand five-seater.

A dual-motor, all-wheel drive, battery-electric powertrain, advanced MagneRide® 2 adaptive suspension and high-performance Brembo braking system combine for sports car responses and agility. The Mustang Mach-E GT also features a unique powertrain calibration that engages a greater proportion of torque at the rear wheels than other Mustang Mach-E all-wheel drive variants, supported by specially-developed tyres that can distribute the extreme torque to the road surface.

In addition, the Untamed Plus mode 3 is designed to help drivers balance the powertrain output on a track for lap time consistency – simultaneously adjusting traction and stability control for a more exciting driving experience where regulations and conditions allow.

Bespoke specification includes Ford Performance sports seats, standard 20-inch alloy wheels, exclusive Star White and Cyber Orange colours, and unique body-styling – further differentiating the premium SUV’s sleek and powerful design while retaining the unmistakable signatures of the world’s best-selling sports car.

“Mustang Mach-E GT dials up the fun-to-drive experience in an all-electric powertrain,” said Rachel White, marketing manager for passenger vehicles, Ford New Zealand. “This is a refined, premium specification five-seater SUV with the acceleration of a super-car and zero tailpipe emissions – a combination that is sure to put a smile on quite a few faces!”

Striving for sustainability
