Ford Mustang Mach-E becomes 2nd best-selling EV SUV in August
Sales of Ford’s Mustang Mach-E bounced back in August, rising 61% from last year. The Mach-E became the second-best-selling electric...
So the term "SUV" has apparently lost all meaning. I've actually seen people calling the Ferarri Purosanguo an "SUV" too, which is hilarious.
Great, an suv called a “mustang” from ford and a bloated 4 seater from Ferrari called “pure blood”.
Car makers are just wasting names.
"SUV" should mean an off-road capable vehicle or something that can tow a decent amount. Maybe had a body-on-frame construction. Usually larger and less pleasant on-road manners. Usually has a transfer case. A Tahoe, Expedition, Dodge Durango, Wagoneer. Those are all firmly in the SUV territory in my book.
Everything else should be called a "crossover". Less off-road capable. Less towing. Not saying they couldn't do these tasks, but not as much. Usually unibody construction. Usually smaller. More street-focused.
Obviously there is some overlap, and neither term is strictly defined, but not sure why this is so complicated.
Yeah, the model Y, Mach-E and ID4 are definitely all crossovers.
I'm more bothered by how this dilutes the "Mustang" moniker. Why they'd do that with their most iconic car I'm not sure. Might as well make a "Mustang M150" truck now too.
It's not until literally the eighth paragraph of this article that the phrase "in the US" shows up. US EV sales numbers pale in comparison to global EV sales.
This headline is so bogus.
Kirk Kreifels is going to be upset. EVs are still selling.
I hate that this thing is selling. Thing's hideous.
IMO it’s one of the few EVs that’s actually decent looking. It’s not a mustang, but it’s a decent looking car. Pretty much the only one I’d consider buying
Is it? I don't know, I don't find the design to be all that outrageous. Looks like a pretty standard crossover/inflated hatchback to me. This style of car isn't going to be for everyone, but I don't think it's doing anything super outspoken design wise
From what I've read, it's one of the few EV's that is fun to actually turn, not just in a straight line. That alone makes me root for its success.
My only real problem with it is the branding. They shouldn't have called it a mustang. I think it probably hurt sales more than it helped, (no evidence for this though).
