TopGear.com (encompassing both the BBC TV show and the TopGear magazine) has just released its 2021 awards, and the winner of its "Family Car of the Year" is the Ford Mustang Mach-E! As the host says in the relevant section of the award video:

"It's been made with a bit of love....like it's been made by people who care about cars, for people who care about cars...if not badge heritage."

Congratulations to Ford on yet another award for the Mach-E! {Jonathan}

"Family car"?!
Remember, EU and UK drivers are used to much smaller vehicles. The VW Golf is a family car. For that matter, yes, if you have 2-3 kids, the Mach-E makes an excellent family car. It isn't a minivan, but then again, in the UK, minivans aren't nearly as large either.

"Family car"?!
I think so yes. It isn't a commuter car like the Focus Electric....or a sports car. Sports sedan......maybe, but kinda a stretch IMO. A family can definately make good use of the vehicle. I think family car is a good description.
Congratulations to Ford.

Agree with family car, my two young ones love the space in the back, the quiet ride and the panorama roof. My 3 year old keeps asking for movies on the ā€˜iPadā€™ though.. she is disappointed it canā€™t :D

Same here.

Family car doesn't have to be a fat monster SUV, at least here in Europe. You Americans also have much more space and wider streets; when I think of our sometimes narrow streets and the parking garages...

The Mustang makes good use of the space , also why I chose it.

Same reaction, it is a family car for our european standards (2 kids 14 and 10yo, the oldest is 1m85 tall and sits in the backseats without problem) and definitely a very good one! Also Paak works just fine ?
I love this car, it's a lot of fun to drive

You guys stop it now, I think you are insulting the OP by saying it could be a family car! ?

I really don't see why not - as long as the car is in park at the time.
I'm guessing someone will work up a hack for it.
