Through a report published yesterday, Ford has confirmed that the Mustang Mach-E reported a higher number of sales than the traditional model last June . This all-electric SUV, first introduced in 2019, reported 2, 465 sold units, 225 more units than the internal combustion Mustang, which managed to sell 2, 240 units. The fact was surprising to many, given the legacy that the historic Mustang has built for more than half a century, a legacy based on the preference of the American public.
Despite Of these results, the traditional model maintains its record in the annual total, leading the Mach-E with a very good advantage : 31, 950 units sold so far this year, a figure that translates into 18, 975 units more than the electric SUV, which already registers 12, 975 units sold in these first six months of 2021.
D Since the appearance of the Mach-E, there has been a lot of comment about the possible disappearance of the internal combustion Mustang for several reasons, including a very particular one that has been reinforced thanks to the profound energy transformation of the automotive industry: electrification. Many brands, including Ford, have already started their way towards neutrality of their productions, which are rapidly moving towards fully electric models. In that context, the Mustang Mach-E would outperform the traditional model if it succeeded in winning the preference of the American public, which has been fascinated by the internal combustion Mustang for more than 50 years.
According to The Drive, despite these profound changes, it is very difficult for the rumors of the complete disappearance of the traditional Mustang to end up being true , at least not until 2030, year in which it is assumed that there will still be a new version of this car named under the code S 650, which would be scheduled to debut next year. All of this will be possible if Ford’s operations recover from the semiconductor shortage, an issue that continues to plague the company and has led it to discontinue the production of your Bronco 2021 . This problem has also led Ford to report very low sales, compared to Toyota, which recently surpassed General Motors by reporting the best number of sales. in the United States during the second quarter of the year .
