Ford’s entire vehicle lineup is full of impressive cars that fit the needs of various consumers. This year, two in particular have stood out even amongst this exemplary group of vehicles; the Mustang Mach-E and the F-150 pickup truck. Both have won Edmunds’ top rated award for their categories, Luxury EV and Truck, respectively. Let’s dive into what makes these two cars so special.
When most people think of a Ford Mustang, they picture a powerful, sporty muscle car. As a result, you may be surprised to see the Mustang winning an award for a luxury EV. However, this is no mistake. Ford has somehow packaged that classic Mustang driving experience into a more luxurious, sustainable form factor. With 346 horsepower, it matches up to past Mustangs’ speed and power. It also includes an estimated 270-mile range with its battery, making it a practical choice as well as a sporty one.
These are all fantastic features, but what really pushes the Mustang Mach-E into award-winning territory is its interior. The newly upgraded, upscale interior materials provide a luxurious cockpit from which any driver can pilot this beast. Another notable feature is the beautiful, functional infotainment screen. With the high-resolution screen and usability of a high-end tablet, drivers can control their vehicle completely and easily.
The F-150 is no slouch either. It rightfully earns its best pickup truck status by maintaining the legendary functionality that it is known for, while also being remarkably efficient and luxurious. With a 26 mpg highway rating, it nearly matches economy sedan levels of efficiency even in its large, powerful body and engine. Another selling point is the truck’s amazing customizability. Ford offers packages and options to appeal to all kinds of truck buyers, from off-road adventurers to professionals to families seeking comfort.
Every year, Ford puts out a fantastic lineup of cars, and this year is no exception. For buyers seeking the ultimate in sustainable luxury or rugged functionality, the Mustang Mach-E and F-150 are wonderful options.
