Ford trademarks Mustang Mach-E in India, hinting at potential re-entry; CBU import, competitive pricing, and strong EV market prospects.

Ford Trademarks Mustang Mach-E in India on Feb 12, 2024 – Hints at Upcoming Launch.

Key Highlights

  • Ford trademarks Mustang Mach-E in India
  • CBU import likely
  • Competitive pricing around Rs 70 lakh
  • EV market potential
  • Past Indian exit cautious re-entry approach

In a surprising move that hints at a potential re-entry into the Indian market, Ford has recently trademarked the Mustang Mach-E in India. This development follows the cancellation of the Chennai plant sale deal with JSW, the filing of a patent for the Endeavour SUV, and the posting of job openings online. Ford, however, remains tight-lipped about officially confirming or denying its plans to re-enter the Indian automotive space.

Mustang Mach-E

The trademark filing for the Mustang Mach-E, a compact crossover electric SUV, serves as a robust indication of Ford's potential return to India. If launched, it is expected to be imported as a Completely Built-Up (CBU) unit, aligning with Ford's previous statements during its exit from the Indian market.

CBU Import and Future Possibilities

Imported as a CBU, the Mustang Mach-E will closely resemble the international models sold across various markets. Assembly for this crossover electric SUV currently takes place in Mexico and China. However, there's a possibility that Ford might consider the Completely Knocked Down (CKD) route in the future to achieve a competitive price point in India, similar to its global competitors.

Pricing and Competition

With an estimated starting price of around Rs 70 lakh for the CBU import, the Mustang Mach-E will compete with other electric SUVs in the Indian market, including the Kia EV6Volvo XC40 RechargeBMW i4, and BMW iX1. While the Indian EV market shows immense potential, Ford's consideration of local manufacturing could play a pivotal role in the company's future strategy.

Learning from Past Experiences

Ford's earlier exit from India was part of a global business restructuring plan, as the company faced challenges in achieving expected sales volumes and targeted returns on investment. The cautious approach towards re-entry suggests that Ford aims to avoid a repetition of past setbacks in the Indian market.

Mustang Mach-E Specs and Performance

In the United States, the Mustang Mach-E is available in four variants, offering both Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (eAWD) configurations, as well as standard and extended-range options. The base variant features a 70 kWh usable battery capacity, producing 266 hp and 430 Nm of torque for the RWD variant and 580 Nm for the eAWD variant.

The EPA-estimated range varies from 224 miles to 314 miles, depending on the variant. The top-spec Mustang Mach-E GT variant, priced at approximately Rs 49.86 lakh, boasts a powerful 480 hp and 813 Nm of torque. With an extended range of 270 miles, it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds.

CarBike360 Says

As the anticipation builds, all eyes are on Ford to unveil its plans for the Mustang Mach-E in India, potentially marking a significant comeback for the American automaker in the Indian electric vehicle landscape.
