The ‘U’ part of the acronym ‘SUV’ stands for ‘utility’, and this means that these vehicles must be good at doing all the practical things like transporting people and whatnot. However, as the SUV has become more of a status symbol, people are now literally buying it to sit on top of other people in traffic, less to transport or tow it, and therefore the company has gone into the background and has generated the SUV type coupe.
This bizarre hybrid body style that is neither coupe nor SUV (probably the most accurate way to describe these vehicles would be to call them high-driving fastbacks) has taken the industry by storm. It’s also the body style Ford decided to use when it built its first Mustang-insignia SUV, the all-electric Mach-E.
Now don’t get me wrong – the Mach-E is pretty attractive and looks much more useful than some other SUV coupes on the market. However, I honestly would have preferred it to be a more traditional shape, because I think that adds timelessness to the design and makes the cargo area bigger and more usable.
Granted, the Mach-E’s trunk is still remarkably cavernous, at 502 liters or 17.7 cubic feet, under the package shelf, but it probably could have been 10 to 15 percent larger if it had been a more traditional SUV. And to be fair, it also has an extra 136 liters or 4.8 cubic feet of extra space up front, so Mach-E owners will probably never feel like they need more space.
That being said, I fully understand why Ford did this: This is the first time the automaker has placed the Mustang badge on anything other than a two-door, so I wanted to maintain a link between the Mach-E and the Mustang Coupe. real that sells And it also looks very good, for what it is, but something in the background wishes that they have converted it into a conventional SUV, or that they have made two versions of it.
