Summary
The Ford Mustang Mach-E GT is a performance model that sits at the top of the all-electric Mustang Mach-E SUV range, which first arrived in the UK in 2021.
This performance version is powered by an 88kWh battery pack, paired with two electric motors to provide an output of 480hp – 210hp more than the entry-level Mustang Mach-E model. According to the Top Gear team: “The GT’s monstrous pace isn’t in doubt, and it’s a better handling, comfier, prettier machine than the base car.”
That said, the majority of reviewers find the Mach-E GT’s steep pricing hard to justify, particularly as the standard Mach-E already offers strong straight-line performance.
As of February 2025, the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT holds a New Car Expert Rating of A, with a score of 72%. As a used car, this slips slightly to a B, with a score of 67%. It scores highly for safety and its lack of any tailpipe emissions, while media reviews are fairly middling and running costs are rather high for an electric car.

Auto Express
Model reviewed: BlueCruise (2023)
Score: 8 / 10
“Taking your hands off the steering wheel will be counterintuitive to most drivers, but the attraction of BlueCruise is that it doesn’t force you to do anything that you don’t want to. It engages automatically – so it’s just as easy to use as regular cruise control – while the presence of safety systems is reassuring.”

“Ford’s Mustang Mach-E GT is an impressive electric car with acceleration to rival the fastest Teslas, but driving engagement doesn’t quite honour the pony badge, plus it’s expensive and doesn’t score well for practicality.” (Alastair Crooks)

“The Ford Mach-E GT is impressive on paper and looks the business, but it’s expensive and has performance that’s unusable on a public road. The normal Mach-E is more than adequate.”

“The new Ford Mustang Mach-E GT is a solid effort at a first zero-emissions ‘fast Ford’, but although it’s quick, it’s not really engaging enough to warrant wearing that badge.”

“Wow – this is the Mustang we’ve been waiting for. I’ve loved fast Fords since I was a kid, and I’m really impressed with the job they’ve done with the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT. Yes, it’s a lot of money for a Ford, but there’s no questioning the quality of the car or the performance it delivers.” (Ginny Buckley)

Score: 8 / 10
“It’s quiet and refined on a motorway, delivering that serenity that only an EV can. There’s plenty of room inside, too, and some of the materials used in place of plastics are a nice nod to today’s consumer product expectations.” (Stuart Gallagher)

Score: 9 / 10
“The standard Ford Mustang Mach-E is a very good car, offering decent performance and a comfortable ride. The GT model adds more performance – which isn’t fully usable in everyday driving – and the result is more power than grip on wet and cold winter roads. The ride quality isn’t as comfortable, and the driving range is reduced. And then there’s the higher price for a car that doesn’t have the ‘premium’ interior of many rivals” (Paul Clarke)

“While this is a fast, competent electric SUV, it doesn’t feel as though that’s enough to justify the not-inconsiderable price tag.” (Alex Robbins)

Score: 7 / 10
“The GT’s monstrous pace isn’t in doubt, and it’s a better handling, comfier, prettier machine than the base car. But are those parameters top of the EV wish-list right now? Range, charging speed and entry price are what get people talking at the moment. The GT is an old-school approach to a new-world problem.” (Ollie Kew)

Independent crash test and safety ratings from Euro NCAP
Overall score: 5 stars
Date tested: October 2021
Read the full Euro NCAP review
Adult protection: 92%
Child protection: 86%
Vulnerable road users: 69%
Safety assist: 82%
The Mustang Mach-E line-up, including the Mach-E GT, comes with all of the safety kit you’d expect to protect you in the event of an accident and – even better – avoid one in the first place, so it comes as no surprise that Euro NCAP gave the Mustang Mach-e a five-star rating.
Independent economy and emissions ratings from Green NCAP
Model tested: Electric 4X4 Automatic
Overall score: 5 stars
Date tested: October 2021
Read the full Green NCAP review
Energy Efficiency Index: 9.4 / 10
Greenhouse Gas Index: 10 / 10
Emissions tester Green NCAP ran a four-wheel drive version of the Ford Mustang Mach-E through its paces in 2021, awarding the car a full five-star rating. This model is powered by a 88kWh battery pack, like the top-spec Mach-E GT, but the Mach-E GT’s drivetrain has been tweaked to provide more performance.
This means that, should the Mach-E GT ever be tested individually, its scores may differ from those shown above. But, as electric cars are much more energy-efficient than combustion cars, this performance-enhanced variant would still almost certainly score very highly in Green NCAP testing.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E is a relatively expensive car to own and run – especially compared to regular Mustang Mach-E models – according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data.
Electrical efficiency (the EV equivalent of miles per gallon for a petrol or diesel car) is poor, but a large battery means that driving range is still more than 300 miles on the official EU/UK government lab tests.
Insurance is likely to be fairly expensive, while servicing and maintenance costs are mixed across the first five years from new – starting off quite expensive in the first year but improving after that.
