FORD TO MANUFACTURE MUSTANG MACH-E IN CHINA FOR LOCAL CUSTOMERS
Ford Mustang Mach-E Ford Will Manufacture Mach-E in China for Local Customers mach-e-china

  • All-new all-electric Mustang Mach-E will be manufactured by Changan Ford for customers in China
  • Supporting firmware over-the-air updates, Mustang Mach-E will be equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360™ advanced driver-assist technologies and SYNC+ intelligent infotainment system
  • Over-600km1 estimated range offers thrill of a Mustang with confidence in driving an electric vehicle
SHANGHAI, Jan. 28, 2021 – Ford announced today that Mustang Mach-E, its first global pioneering SUV built on an all-new, all-electric platform, will be manufactured in China by Changan Ford for local customers. A breakthrough vehicle in Ford’s electrification strategy, Mustang Mach-E will set new standards in style and performance in the Chinese high-end EV market when it becomes available in China later this year.

Packed with seamless technology

Mustang Mach-E will offer Chinese customers a smart cockpit equipped with Ford's latest driver-assist technologies and infotainment system that gets even better over time with advanced firmware over-the-air (FOTA) updates.

The newest generation of Ford Co-Pilot360™ suite of advanced driver-assist technologies and SYNC+ intelligent infotainment system will offer L2+ level automatic driving assistance functions, enabling Mach-E drivers to operate their vehicles hands-free on prequalified sections of divided highways. In addition, the vehicle stays at the forefront of technology by supporting all FOTA updates, including for vehicle controls, to freshen the driving experience with improvements and new features delivered over-the-air.

Ford is the first automobile manufacturer in China to offer cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technology in mass production vehicles and will deploy C-V2X in Mach-E to help drivers in China anticipate potential driving hazards and improve traffic safety and efficiency.

“Electrifying” performance

The Mustang Mach-E manufactured in China will have a body size measuring 4739mm*1881mm*1623mm, a wheelbase measuring 2984mm 2, and an estimated range of over 600 kilometers1. Tuned using Ford’s racing simulator, Mustang Mach-E is an "electric pony" that inherits the Mustang family's legendary sportscar performance and delivers driving pleasure to this all-electric intelligent vehicle.

Ford will also localize production of the Mustang Mach-E’s GT performance edition in China, an unprecedented move by a global automaker to locally manufacture high-performance editions. The GT high performance edition will adopt a front and rear dual-motor layout, joining the 3-second club with its impressive 0-100km/h acceleration capabilities.

Ford is moving quickly in delivering its electrification commitment with investments of more than $11.5 billion in electric vehicle development through 2022. The localized production of Mach-E in China is a key step in the company’s “Best of Ford, Best of China” strategy to offer Chinese customers industry-leading smart vehicles and advanced technologies.

The rendering shows a sliding cover over the front passenger cup holders. I think we've also seen a second charge port door at the rear quarter panel on driver's side. I wonder what other differences will exist between the Chinese GT and NA/European?

Good for them. China is a huge EV market. Some local players like Nio have some strong product on the market. They have to build in China for the CCP to let them play in the sandbox.

The door over the cupholders is something Ford does when localizing all their cars for China, it seems. For some reason Ford really doesn't think Chinese customers like exposed cupholders and American customers don't like hidden ones.

Americans need to fit a big gulp soda cup in the holder, the door probably gets in the way of that.

Yeah the GT fascia is a definite downgrade IMO. But they must like it.

I’m wondering how much involvement the Chinese government will have in Sync 4 “localization”?

I like the slider and hate the way it gets removed by some manufactures on usa spec vehicles, for those that don't care for it all you need to do is just slide it back and leave it there and never touch it again and all is well in the world, for those of us that do like it well we get to just look at cup holders :(, hence the removal always comes across to me as bean counting being dressed up by marketing as a regional variation.
