Ford 2020 Chicago Auto Show News

For Chicagoland, February doesn’t just mean wacky weather, it means it’s time for the annual Chicago Auto Show. America’s brand was in attendance and highlighted a range of their top production models, as well as the iconic Chicago Bears F-150. As much fun as those are, they weren’t the jaw-dropping, show-stopping star that the 2021 Mustang Mach-E proved to be. Read on to learn about the first reiteration of the Mustang in 55 years, and be sure to keep up with River View Ford throughout the rest of the year for more upcoming model releases!

The Specs and Release Date of the Debut 2021 Mustang Mach-E

Fit to seat five and only available as a four-door model, the Mustang Mach-E is all-electric, all-new, and ready for its debut. Presented to the public for the first time, the Mustang Mach-E was revealed to be every bit as athletic as you would expect, while bragging all-electric appointments for an EPA-estimated 300 mile range with the available extended range battery and rear wheel drive.

Drivers who want a little extra oomph can opt for the Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition, which will achieve:

• 459 HP
• 612 lb-ft of torque
• 0-60 in the mid-3 second range

Ford announced that the 2021 Mustang Mach-E is set to be available in Fall 2020, and interested shoppers can reserve and design their SUV now! You will be able to confirm your order as early as Summer 2020, so contact River View Ford to pre-order. In the meantime, we’ve put together a comprehensive overview on the Mach-E specs and lineup details!
