Ford dropped us off a 2023 Mach-E Premium equipped with the new BlueCruise 1.2 to check out how the new features improve the system that had already been awarded Best ADAS system by Consumer Reports. And since we had the car for a week, we figured it was time to give the Mach-E another go at the InsideEVs 70-mile-per-hour range test.
We already conducted our 70 mph range tests on the same spec Mach-E in 2021, but since then Ford has made some efficiency updates and has also opened up 3 more kWh of the battery pack to boost the usable capacity from 88 kWh to 91 kWh. In that range test, the Mach-E ended up going 285 miles before we exhausted the pack.
