Standard Features: 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E
Although these upscale EV SUVs start at similar prices, the 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E (from $39,995) gives you much more for your money. The entry-level Select trim model not only treats you to style and comfort, with synthetic leather upholstery and dual-zone automatic climate control, but it’s also big on cutting-edge technology. In addition to the SYNC 4 infotainment system, the base Mustang Mach-E includes a 15.5-inch central touchscreen, built-in navigation, and wireless smartphone charging. And, unlike the Ioniq 5, you can use wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to connect to your favorite apps.
The 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 (from $41,800) is also a comfortable, upscale option. Every model includes dual-zone automatic climate control and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. And the base infotainment setup isn’t half-bad, with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and built-in navigation. But while the Ioniq 5 includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the newer, wireless versions of this technology aren’t available. Many of the Mustang Mach-E’s base features, including the wireless smartphone charging pad, are available on the Ioniq 5 as pay-extra options.
Roomy Comfort: 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5
When it comes to everyday comfort, both EVs excel. But the Ioniq 5 is our overall pick, thanks to its incredibly quiet, supple ride. Inside, this Hyundai EV strikes an excellent balance between cushy and supportive, with roomy accommodations for up to five passengers. Shoppers can choose from five trim models, each of which adds more upscale features, such as heated and ventilated front seats or a Bose premium sound system!
When you’re cruising in the Mustang Mach-E, you’ll also enjoy a quiet performance and a roomy, comfortable cabin. However, since this EV is tuned for a sporty performance, the ride feels firmer than its comfort-tuned competitor. This new Mustang Mach-E is available as four trim models, offering your choice of upscale upgrades. Available features include hands-free BlueCruise driving technology and a premium Bang & Olufsen sound system.
The Mustang Mach-E takes the lead here, and it’s not even close. Power output varies according to which trim model and powertrain you select, but every option is designed for speed. With the new Performance Upgrade, the Mustang Mach-E GT can now deliver up to 480 horses and 700 pound-feet of torque!
Choose from these 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E powertrain configurations:
- Standard Range, RWD: 264 horsepower, 387 lb-ft of torque
- Standard Range, eAWD: 325 hp, 500 lb-ft
- Extended Range, RWD: 290 hp, 387 lb-ft
- Extended Range, eAWD: 365 hp, 500 lb-ft
- GT eAWD: 480 hp, 600 lb-ft
- GT eAWD with Performance Upgrade: 480 hp, 700 lb-ft
- Rally eAWD: 480 hp, 700 lb-ft
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 keeps things simple, offering either a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive setup or a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive performance. The single-motor setup can’t compete with the Mustang Mach-E. However, the upgraded dual-motor powertrain delivers impressive acceleration on par with many of the Mustang Mach-E trim models! But since the Ioniq 5 is tuned for comfort, it’s not as agile in a turn.
The 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 offers two electric powertrain options:
- RWD: Single-motor electric powertrain (168 hp, 258 lb-ft)
- AWD: Dual-motor electric powertrain (320 hp, 446 lb-ft)
Electric Range: 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E
In spite of its high-performance leanings, the Mustang Mach-E delivers the longest-lasting battery range. The Premium trim model can travel the furthest on a single battery charge, with a range of up to 320 miles!
The 2024 Mustang Mach-E battery range varies according to trim model and powertrain. Here’s a quick look at some of your options:
- Premium (RWD, Extended Range): 320 miles
- GT: 280 miles

- Select (RWD, Standard Range): 250 miles
When it comes to battery range, the Ioniq 5 isn’t far behind. With its single-motor powertrain, this EV can travel an estimated 303 miles between charges. Unfortunately, with its more powerful dual-motor setup, the Ioniq 5 isn’t quite as impressive, ranging up to 260 miles.
The 2024 Ioniq 5 battery range also varies, depending on trim model and powertrain:
- SE/SEL/Limited (RWD): 303 miles
