AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/27 Report--

With the rise of the global electric vehicle boom, more and more consumers begin to think about electric vehicles. However, consumers are a little afraid because of the increase in the number of cases of "out of control" of electric vehicles. In addition to Tesla, who has been frequently searched recently, a foreign netizen recently revealed that his new Ford electric car was out of control, but fortunately the vehicle was well protected and suffered only minor injuries.

Recently, foreign netizens have exposed pictures of a new Ford electric car, Mach-E, after a serious collision. It is reported that this is a netizen from Ins named "azfullsizebronco" who posted what his car Ford Mach-E looked like after the accident, and mentioned: "the highway was out of control, everyone survived, and I was only slightly injured." Accidentally, the vehicle also caused the accident because it was "out of control", but the netizen did not tell us the details.

It can be seen that after the driver was seriously hit by the Ford electric car Mach-E, and said that he was not obviously injured, reflecting the car's safety performance is really good, after all, judging from the explosion of the car accident photos, the car has changed beyond recognition, almost a scrapped car. Specifically, the front face, rear bar and both sides of the car body are damaged to varying degrees, the front cover and front windshield are all damaged, and the aluminum alloy wheels are also deformed beyond repair, which can be said to be quite serious.

Although the car suffered a serious traffic accident, the driver in the car was well protected, except that the shape of the crew cabin remained intact in the accident, and there was no obvious deformation on both sides of the A-pillar. At the same time, we can also see from the car that although it was a mess, the airbags popped out smoothly, so it was praised by many netizens.

As this Ford Mach-E has just been launched, it is speculated that this vehicle accident will be the first Ford Mach-E traffic accident in the United States and even in the world, which is currently parked in Phoenix, Arizona. And according to industry analysis, due to a blue version of the vehicle in the accident, according to the official introduction, the blue paint is called "Grabber Blue", which belongs to the exclusive color of the first limited edition or GT version, so it is inferred that the final price on arrival of the accident vehicle is more than $60, 000, and distinguished by the body logo, this is a four-wheel drive version.

At present, Mustang Mach-E has also been listed in the Chinese market. Changan Ford officially launched this model on April 13, launching a total of 4 models with a price range of 26.50-379900 yuan. The new car will be the first pure electric model of Ford's electric vehicle division and will be produced by Changan Ford. It is understood that in the future, Ford Mustang Mach-E will not be sold in the existing Ford distribution channels, but will use direct marketing to build electric vehicle sales network.

In terms of the appearance of the new car, Ford Mustang Mach-E continues the appearance design of overseas models and makes minor adjustments to the Chinese market. The closed front face uses a smoked middle grid, the middle "Mustang" LOGO can be lit, and the three-segment LED daytime driving is similar to the Mustang sports car. From the side, the body is designed with a slip-back design, the rearview mirror, windows and roof are painted in black, and the door is designed with no door handle. In terms of size, the length, width and height are 4739/1881/1621mm, and the wheelbase is 2984mm.

Ford Mustang Mach-E also continues the interior design of overseas versions, with a 15.5inch vertical central control screen and a 10.2inch full LCD dashboard to create a sense of technology inside the car. Unlike Tesla Model Y, Ford Mustang Mach-E retains a large number of physical buttons.

In terms of power, Ford Mustang Mach-E provides rear-drive and all-wheel drive, in which the maximum power of the standard endurance version is 198kw, the peak torque is 415N ·m and the range is 470km; the maximum power of the long-range afterdrive version is 210kW, the peak torque is 415N ·m, and the range is 600km. The maximum power of the long-lasting four-wheel-drive version reaches 260kW, the peak torque is 565N ·m, and the mileage is 540km. In terms of mileage, the new car uses BYD's 811 ternary lithium battery with a range of 470km-600km.

Data show that the Ford Mustang is a civilian sports car owned by Ford, which launched the first generation mass production version of Mustang in 1964 and has a history of more than half a century. It is worth mentioning that although Ford Mustang will be made in China, it is not named "Mustang" because Sichuan Mustang Motor Co., Ltd. sued Ford Motor (China) Co., Ltd. in February 2016 for its Chinese name (Ford Mustang) and won the lawsuit in court on suspicion of trademark infringement. Ford Mustang naturally cannot use the "Mustang" logo in China. In the future, the main competitor will be Tesla Model Y model.
