The competition within the electric vehicle market continues to grow as more brands begin to produce their vehicles to make their mark in the EV-dominating world. Even more, competition grows within the electric SUV segment. This segment is also experiencing rapid growth with the addition of the last two entries within this class: The Ford Mustang Mach-E and the Kia EV6. While both offer many similarities regarding features and structure in some ways, they differ in what they provide buyers to stand out among the crowd. The Ford Mustang Mach-E offers buyers an electric SUV that is a beautifully executed combination of versatile practicality, the latest in technology, and engaging performance for a starting price of $43,395 (Plus Destination Fee). What the Ford Mustand Mach-E offers, however, that the Kia EV6 lacks are three crucial features: BlueCruise hands-free driving, more cargo space, and a super exciting performance when driving.Ā 

Ford’s BlueCruise Hands-Free Driving
Ford released its hands-free driving technology back in July of 2021, perfecting it even further in August of this year. Ford’s semi-autonomous driving system allows for hands-free driving on highways that the company has mapped. Hands-free driving is a rare technology that isn’t available on many vehicles and not on the Kia EV6 but the Ford Mustang Mach-E. Farid Abdulhadi, program manager of Ford Power-Up Technology, is very proud of the BlueCruise and said, “Ford Power-Up technology is the gift that keeps giving. Ford BlueCruise software updates are a powerful example of this. One day you’re driving normally, and the next, hands-free. Ford is helping lead the mainstream adoption of advanced software update capability, similar to how smartphones changed the world of flip phones.”

More Cargo Space
The Ford Mustang Mach-E is bigger than the Kia EV6, and because of this, it can offer buyers more cargo space within it. The seating space is fairly similar, but the Mach-E provides 34.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind its rear seats compared to the 24.4 cubic feet of space within the Kia EV6. When the rear seats are folded down, it offers even more space, precisely 14.2 cubic feet more than the EV6.Ā 

Exciting Performance
The Mustang Mach-E is a legendary vehicle with the performance to back up that statement and the Mustang nameplate. The GT Performance Edition offers buyers 634 lb-ft of torque and can sprint from 0-60mpg in just 3.5 seconds. Even the base-level trim for the Mustang Mach-E provides more speed than the Kia EV6.Ā 

All in all, the Mustang Mach-E and the Kia EV6 have some similarities because they’re both in the same segment of electric vehicles. However, the Mach-E provides buyers with even more than they could imagine.Ā
