Trailseeker vs. Ford Mustang Mach-E

Ford applied its iconic name to a four-door electric SUV while adding elements of the pony car’s design. Yet it is practical and offers advanced features not found in its muscle-car namesake. It comes in single-motor rear-wheel-drive and dual-motor all-wheel-drive models. 

• The Trailseeker offers more cargo space than the Mustang Mach-E with the rear seats down. You can load the Subaru with up to 74.0 cubic feet of everything. The Ford offers up to 59.7 cubic feet of cargo space.
• Subaru has always offered higher ground clearance across all its models with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive to allow them to travel farther from the highway. The Trailseeker stands 8.5 inches above the ground, while the Mustang Mach-E with all-wheel drive has only 5.7 inches of ground clearance.
• The standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system on the Trailseeker is a full-time system. It also includes X-Mode with Downhill Assist Control. The Mustang Mach-E’s all-wheel-drive system is not only an option but an on-demand system.
• When equipped with roof rails, your SUV can be loaded with accessories to enhance the practicality of your adventure. That is why all Trailseeker models have standard roof rails. The Mustang Mach-E is not equipped with them.
