INTERIOR, SOLACE & BAGGAGE
Ford’s work on the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E interior space takes only small bits of design elements from the regular Mustang.

The cargo capacity of the Mustang Mach-E stands at around 29.7 cubic feet from behind the rear seat, going further to 59.7 cubic feet if from behind the first row of seats. The front trunk, or frunk, can be used for storage with 4.7 cubic feet of space for smaller items.

All electrical components are covered under warranty for a total of 8 years or the first 100,000 miles driven. The company has yet to offer any plans for complimentary scheduled maintenance.
