Do you consider the Mach-E an SUV?

[llinthicum1]

According to EPA, it's classified as a small SUV.

Still means it is a Mustang. It’s right there in the name.

I agree and I don't mean to imply otherwise.

I call mine a Mustang, or if someone in a parking lot asks, "What is that?" I reply "An electric Mustang." No one has ever asked me, "What kind of SUV is that?" although many have asked "What kind of car?"

-edit- Oh yea, and then there is that one redneck at my office who always asks me, "You still driving that 100MPH golf cart?" I just say "Yep."

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).

I loaded my MME with 2 full Costco flatbed carts and it all fit!! It wouldn’t have in a “car”! So, seeing how much cargo I can put inside it, I consider it a fun, fast, sleek SUV!!!

I guess I’d compare it to a Blazer EV which Chevy calls an SUV. I was planning to buy one but the first ones did not have key features I wanted so I cancelled and here I am.

Yes - for the reasons mentioned above. It is not as flexible as yes my flex which has 5 fold down seats and lots of space. But we rescue dogs and large crates fit in nicely

A variety of convergences for this category:

Station Wagons were considered uncool

SUVs were simply too big

Hatchbacks are great for skis, bicycles, small pieces of furniture, and lots of storage

Older folks prefer the sitting 'up' stance, versus sitting 'down' stance of so many sedans and station wagons, provides easier ingress and egress

Visibility just a little better

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

The "real" Mustang is also wider. They come in at 75/76" wide compared to 74" for the Mach-E.

To me, they are all "cars," unless they're "trucks." I don't bother myself with the "is it an SUV or not?" debates.

The only time it mattered was when I did my taxes. For that, it's an SUV!

I considered waiting for the Blazer EV. I'm glad I didn't. Funny, I think the Blazer EV is more of an SUV than the Mach -E. But there are definitely similarities.

My insurance calls is a truck. Definitely not that! I prefer CUV.

We have both a Mach-E and a GT, so we just call them by those names. No Mustang confusion here.

The Blazer is, legitimately, an SUV though. It's tall and vaguely truck-ish, Chev's stylistic attempts notwithstanding.

Farmer's insurance considers it a truck.

Anything with wheels is theoretically a truck to a Farmer
