What is the best electric Ford?
Take a look at the best electric cars that Ford has to offer and decide which one is best for you
)
Ford is best known for its reliable and well-built models that are common sights on UK roads and loved by a range of motorists.
Models like the Ford Fiesta, Focus and Ka+ are often a top choice for those looking for an efficient and comfortable car, but Ford has begun branching out into electric vehicles (EVs).
Choosing an electric Ford is ideal if you want to cut back on fuel costs while still enjoying a stylish and dependable model.
You can also choose hybrid models for a pop of battery power to assist a fuel-powered engine – ideal if you’re not ready for a full EV.
Take a look at some of the impressive EVs that Ford has to offer.
Ford Mustang Mach-E

If you’re after a practical SUV that’s still sporty and fun to drive, a used Ford Mustang Mach-E is a superb electric-powered option.
There are plenty of trim levels to choose from, including the Mustang Mach-E Premium RWD model that can achieve up to 372 miles of range on a single charge, and the Premium AWD model that prioritises acceleration with a 0-62mph of just 5.1 seconds.
Each trim offers buckets of tech, which is to be expected from a premium car like the Mach-E. You’ll get access to the Ford SYNC 4A cloud-connected infotainment system, with features like a 15.5-inch touchscreen and wireless smartphone integration.
It’s a real looker as well, with that classic Mustang muscle feel and a suave interior.
Ford Kuga plug-in hybrid
)
A used Ford Kuga PHEV is a great midway move towards the Mustang Mach-E – it has some similar but toned-down design features that still offer a muscley look, but it feels more reserved for a daily car.
The Kuga offers up to 41 miles of battery-powered driving, supplementing the petrol engine and offering impressive fuel economy.
In fact, you can achieve up to 257mpg at the Kuga’s most efficient.
Your Kuga won’t be short on tech, either. Featuring the Ford Co-Pilot 360 system, the Kuga can offer driver aids like lane-centring tech and enhanced active parking assist, which allows the car to essentially park itself.
Plus, you can get a full charge in just 3.5 hours depending on the type of charger you use.
Ford S-Max
)
While it’s not a fully electric car, a used Ford S-MAX FHEV is ideal if you’re after a fully hybrid electric vehicle hybrid with plenty of space.
It’s a versatile MPV that can seat up to seven people, with a 285-litre boot.
With a 2.5-litre petrol engine and regenerative braking charging, the S-Max is impressively efficient for its size.
You can expect up to 43.5mpg, making this hybrid a great alternative to the EcoBlue diesel setups.
You’ll also get features to make all that efficient driving run smoother – think parking tech like active park assist for impressive parking guidance, and a panoramic camera to give you a view around the car that’s then displayed on the SYNC 3 infotainment screen.
Ford Fiesta mild-hybrid
)
Another way to get into electric driving is to try out a mild hybrid. These offer a small amount of electric assistance to improve fuel efficiency and can be a good first step towards an EV.
The Fiesta EcoBoost Hybrid engine offers impressive fuel economy and lower emissions while creating a more responsive drive. In fact, you can expect up to 56.5mpg from the manual model.
Everywhere else, the Fiesta is the same car we know and love. The styling is laidback, inside and out, and the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster is a sleek touch that keeps you in touch with your car.
There are a few trim levels to choose from that all offer different features and tech. Choose a used Ford Fiesta ST for a sporty option, or a used Fiesta Titanium for something more entry-level but still kitted-out.
