IMO the Mach-E headlights are just acceptable. Not super impressed, especially by the highbeams.

i wonder how the base headlights perform compared to the premium headlights

So...IIHS is releasing results tomorrow for the Mach E.

The results are in, but it's embargoed until tomorrow.

results are out
mach e gets top safety pick
headlights on premium, gt, and first edition are good, select and california route 1 are marginal. because of this, it only gets top safety pick, not plus. if the premium headlights were on all models, then it would get top safety pick plus.
i looked through the crash test results, not a single thing below good in all the sub sub categories, and since it is in the midsize suv category, it is even better.
waiting for the nhtsa results, but i will probably place mach e order now in the meantime

FORD MUSTANG MACH-E EARNS TOP SAFETY PICK AWARD FROM INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY
APR 22, 2021 | DEARBORN, MICH.

DEARBORN, Mich., April 22, 2021 – The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E has earned a TOP SAFETY PICK award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety after acing all six IIHS crashworthiness tests with good ratings – the top possible results in those categories.

The six crashworthiness tests include driver- and passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints.

Mustang Mach-E also earned the TOP SAFETY PICK rating due to its good-rated LED projector headlights on Premium, GT and First Edition trims.

For front crash prevention, Mustang Mach-E earned superior ratings for its standard vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian accident avoidance system evaluations.

“This award validates the efforts of the Mustang Mach-E team to create an electric vehicle that not only turns heads, but helps keep our customers and their passengers safe,” said Hau Thai-Tang, Ford chief product platform and operations officer. “We continue to prioritize safety performance for our entire portfolio.”

This award for Mustang Mach-E coincides with a recent IIHS-affiliated Highway Loss Data Institute study that gives evidence about the safety of electric vehicles overall. The study looked at collision, property damage liability and injury claims for conventional and electric vehicle models from 2011-2019 and found that injury claim rates for drivers and passengers of electric vehicles were more than 40 percent lower than for conventional models over that time period.

This recognition is the latest in the long list of awards and accolades earned by Mustang Mach-E – including North American Utility of the Year, Green Car Journal’s Green Car of the Year, Edmunds’ Top-Rated Luxury Electric Vehicle, The Car Connection’s Best Car to Buy 2021 and Best Electric Car to Buy 2021, Green Car Reports’ Best Car to Buy 2021, Car and Driver’s Editor’s Choice and several more.
