Do you consider the Mach-E an SUV?

[JustBob]

I've been willing to call my Mach-E an SUV for the past year until I got my federal tax credit. Now I'm now calling it a car. It's a little taller than most cars, but I'd say it's a lot shorter than most SUV's. It's funny that some people have raised their Mach-E's, and others have lowered. To each their own. I suppose you could call it a "Hatchback", but that doesn't really suit it either. My previous car could fold the back seats down and have way more space than the Mach-E with seats folded. Not a lot of storage space. Barely enough for 2 sets of golf clubs with the seats up. I did bring my golf clubs to dealer last winter just to make sure they fit (deal breaker).

Not even a little.

Yes.

But only so people don’t confuse it with a real Mustang. ?

I guess the first question is, what is the definition of SUV vs CUV, etc.?

In my mind, I'm thinking CUV...

I don't have any discussions where I need to call it anything. But if I did, it isn't an SUV.

Yes.

I refer to it a “Mustang Lite”.

Google says

SUV stands for "sport utility vehicle," and traditionally refers to a larger vehicle built on a truck chassis. CUV stands for "crossover utility vehicle," and typically refers to a smaller vehicle built on a car platform. The term "crossover" is often used interchangeably with CUV and generally refers to a vehicle that combines features of both SUVs and cars. SUVs are known for their off-road capabilities, while CUVs and crossovers are designed for better fuel efficiency and on-road handling.

SUV would be like an Expedition and the MME is more like a CUV.

SUV: ??

Mach-E: ??

To me, it's just a super-sized version of a regular 2door mustang. 2 more doors, taller, wider, longer and heaver.

That’s a sliding scale. Probably easier to define first what it isn’t.

It isn’t a sports coupe nor a pony car.

Hatchback, station wagon, SUV, crossover………. Take your pick.

5” ground clearance and small size hurts the SUV argument.

Unfortunately its closest cousin might be an Audi Allroad or a Honda Crosstour ? Except the crosstour actually has more ground clearance.

Whenever I’m driving around and there’s this model of BMW. I have to kind of take a second look cause it almost looks like a Mach e. The Mustang I guess is more of a crossover, and you don’t have to say oh my God or hate on me for saying this but, I wish they would’ve called it a Pinto lol Pinto X??

? That's exactly what I did. Now it's "the car."

it’s not longer. Longer wheel base, yes.

I refer to it a “Mustang Lite”.

But it's heavier (and faster). How about "Mustang Heavy"? It's what happens when a Mustang grows up.

 

[DRCal68]

No. I was astounded when the dealer's service guy called it a 'truck'. It is an estate car or sportwagen in Euro terms.
