If you’re looking at Ioniq 5 money, that brings in the Mach E
No, it doesn’t. Not even close. The cheapest Mach E doubles the price of the Tavascan and Ioniq 5 in question.
For reference, the Ioniq 5 is £1999, the Tavascan either £1499 or £2499 depending on whether he takes the winter pack, the Ford Explorer is £2250.
The cheapest Mach E is £4500, and doesn’t offer anything. Less battery, less power, less equipment than even the base Tavascan. It’s objectively an awful offer on the scheme. It doesn’t even come with an electric tailgate.
edit: i do agree on the Ioniq 6 though, in my mind the by far most value you can get for your money currently (if only it was less marmite-y visually). I just assumed we’re looking at crossovers/SUVs, due to, well, Tavascan and Ioniq 5.
