Ford's first purpose-built EV borrows the Mustang name and applies it to a family SUV — controversial marketing, but the car itself is genuinely competitive. 260 miles of real-world range, a practical interior with decent boot space, and Ford's dealer network for servicing make it a pragmatic choice for mainstream UK buyers. It competes directly with the Tesla Model Y and Hyundai Ioniq 5.
