How fast does the electric Mustang SUV go?
The Ford Mustang Mach-E, the electric SUV version of the Mustang, comes in several trims with different top speeds and acceleration. In short, most non-GT trims top out around 111 mph, while the GT version hits about 124–125 mph; acceleration ranges from roughly 3.5 seconds for the GT to about 6–7 seconds for the base models. Exact figures depend on model year, drivetrain, wheel size, and tire choice.
Top speed by trim
The Mach-E’s top speed varies by drivetrain and trim level. The figures below reflect typical, widely cited specifications for current or recent model years.
- Mach-E Standard Range RWD — top speed about 111 mph. 0-60 mph roughly 6.5–7.0 seconds.
- Mach-E Extended Range RWD — top speed about 111 mph. 0-60 mph roughly 6.0–6.5 seconds.
- Mach-E AWD Extended Range — top speed about 125 mph. 0-60 mph roughly 4.0–4.8 seconds.
- Mach-E GT — top speed about 124 mph. 0-60 mph around 3.5 seconds.
These top-speed figures can vary with wheel and tire choices, suspension setups, and software updates from Ford. Always check the exact spec sheet for your specific model year and configuration.
Acceleration and performance details
Beyond top speed, how quickly the Mach-E can reach highway speeds matters to most buyers. The fastest variant, the GT, delivers notably brisk acceleration, while the base and mid-range trims provide solid everyday performance.
- GT: 0-60 mph in about 3.5 seconds; top speed about 124 mph.
- Extended Range AWD: 0-60 mph roughly 4.0–4.8 seconds; top speed about 125 mph.
- Standard Range RWD: 0-60 mph roughly 6.5–7.0 seconds; top speed about 111 mph.
- Extended Range RWD: 0-60 mph roughly 5.5–6.0 seconds; top speed about 111 mph.
Note that real-world acceleration can vary with battery temperature, state of charge, ambient conditions, and how aggressively the vehicle’s traction control and launch settings are configured.
What affects the speed
Several factors can influence the Mach-E’s performance, including software calibrations, tire type and condition, aerodynamics from wheel choices or aero packages, and driving conditions such as altitude and temperature. Ford periodically updates power management through over-the-air software, which can tweak performance figures over time.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Mach-E have a limiter?
Yes. The Mach-E’s top speed is electronically limited to protect drivetrain components and battery longevity, with higher limits available on the GT variants.
Summary
The Ford Mustang Mach-E offers a performance spectrum: base trims cap out around 111 mph with 0-60 times in the 6–7 second range, while the high-performance GT can reach about 124–125 mph and sprint from 0 to 60 mph in roughly 3.5 seconds. Acceleration and top speed vary by trim, wheel/tire setup, and software updates, so checking the exact specifications for your model year is essential. Overall, the Mach-E delivers solid quickness for daily driving and standout acceleration on the GT variant.
