  • Ford is planning to release a new all-electric crossover with styling inspired by the Mustang on November 17.

  • It's rumored that it will be called the Mach E, and Ford says it'll have a driving range of 300 miles on a single charge.

  • It should arrive in 2020 with a starting price around $40,000.

UPDATE 10/25/19: Instagram page @allcarnews posted a few renderings (shown below) of what they claim is "98% of what the Ford Mustang Mach-E electric performance SUV will look like." Considering that the account created these renderings based off what they said was "insider information," we're not as inclined to believe that this is what the final version of the all-electric crossover will look like.

EXCLUSIVE: Ford Mustang Mach-E ⚡️ ______________________________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ [10/24/19] A super @Allcarnews Exclusive, this is 98% of what the Ford Mustang Mach-E electric performance SUV will look like! Today, Ford Performance, not Ford, has announced this special EV will be unveiled next month on the 17th.... but who wants to wait?? They also released a side teaser image too showing off the strong Mustang inspired lines, RWD characteristic cab back design and the signature mustang style lights! I made these renders based directly off exclusive CAD files along with great input from insiders! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏁 @Allcarnews Spec sheet: Well we are expecting a 280-300mile range from a large floor mounted battery pack of an unspecified capacity. Larger battery options could take that up to 340miles or range! Expect over 400HP, RWD bias and high performance capability with technology derived from the GT350/GT500/Ford GT and other Ford Performance Products such as suspension, aero and handling characteristics. 🏁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is an EXCLUSIVE view of the rear too as no one has yet seen what it will look like so here you all go! The rear clearly has “Mustang inspiration” with the triple LED taillights, that Mustang fastback style design all with a unique flair. Compared to my last rendition this is more refined with accurate bits. It will have Lincoln Continental style window trim door handles to keep the body sleek, muscular and smooth, and it will have a MASSIVE rear wing and i mean HUGE to aid in aero and cover up the sloping roofline. Pricing is expected to be from $40k-$60k in line with the Tesla Model Y though it will be a larger vehicle, closer to the Model X size! ________________________________________ ACN EXTRA: Super exclusive render here! The rear derived from CAD images and loads of input so thank you (you all know who you are)! (Also made those taillights from scratch!) ________________________________________ -Text by @allcarnews -Render ©Allcarnews #Ford #MachE #FordSUV #EV #Mach1 #Mustang #USA #murica #Tesla #SUV #carbon ||#powerful #performance #turbocharged #supercharged

It’s really happening. Ford is going to reveal its all-electric Mustang-inspired crossover next month. The name of the electric crossover hasn’t been officially announced yet, though Mach E has been cited frequently.

Ford announced that the electric crossover will make its debut on November 17, a day before we walk in to the Los Angeles auto show. The announcement comes with a side-profile silhouette of the crossover. We don't have any other details yet, other than that Ford claims a range of 300 miles.

The silhouette is our best look at the crossover so far. The headlights take direct styling cues from the 2020 Mustang, and the tri-bar taillights aren't left behind. The roofline looks similar to that of the Mustang we know and love, and it concludes with a sharp roof spoiler.

It's crucial that this electric crossover be a hit for Ford's sake, which explains why the automaker chose to use the Mustang's heritage to help promote it. Now that Ford's fuel-efficient passenger cars are no longer, the company needs to prove it's still environmentally friendly. Ford announced the launch of the largest EV charging network in the U.S. this month, which was probably a move made to prepare for the arrival of their electric crossover.

This new model will aim at currently available EVs such as the Chevrolet Bolt EV, Hyundai Kona Electric, and Kia Niro EV, along with the upcoming Tesla Model Y crossover scheduled to go on sale next year. We can expect Ford’s electric crossover start somewhere around $40,000 when it arrives in 2020.

We'll have all the details of Ford's upcoming all-electric crossover when it debuts on November 17.
