You know, the one thing an SUV is supposed to be good at so you don't get stuck in snow and mud easily. But nope, it has pretty low ground clearance. Jason mentioned in the video that Ford is touting that "it handles like a car"... Well duh, if it has car ground clearance then of course it will handle like a car, but is it supposed to be a car or SUV? Make up your mind. Or make it a station wagon, then the ground clearance makes sense while you still pretty much have the same amount of space inside as an SUV. Car people also tend to hate station wagons way less than SUV's.
And gotta love the 225 width noodle tires. It's just one of those city SUV's that wants to be everything but ends up as a confused cluster.

While I can understand his review and feedback about ground clearance, I completely disagree. How many people actually take their SUV off road and who in their right mind would take something like a Mach E off road? It's not a truck, nor is it an off road vehicle, even being an SUV. An equinox or a traverse are considered SUV's, but you wouldn't take those off road. The Mach E is a perfect daily driver
