For enhanced safety, the front and rear seat shoulder belts of the Genesis Electrified G80 have pretensioners to tighten the seatbelts and eliminate dangerous slack in the event of a collision and force limiters to limit the pressure the belts will exert on the passengers. The Ford Mustang Mach-E doesn’t offer pretensioners for its rear seat belts.

Brakes and Stopping

The Electrified G80’s standard front and rear disc brakes are vented to help dissipate heat for shorter stops with less fading. The rear discs on the Mustang Mach-E are solid, not vented.

Tires and Wheels

For better traction, the Electrified G80 has larger tires than the Mustang Mach-E (F:245/45R19 & R:275/40R19 vs. 225/60R18).

The Electrified G80’s 245/45R19 front and 275/40R19 rear tires provide better handling because they have a lower 45 series front and 40 series rear profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Mustang Mach-E’s standard 60 series tires. The Electrified G80’s tires are lower profile than the Mustang Mach-E GT’s 45 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Electrified G80 has standard 19-inch wheels. Smaller 18-inch wheels are standard on the Mustang Mach-E.

Suspension and Handling

The Electrified G80 handles at .90 G’s, while the Mustang Mach-E 4 pulls only .82 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

Chassis

The Electrified G80 uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The Mustang Mach-E doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

Passenger Space

The Electrified G80 has 1.4 inches more front headroom, .7 inches more front shoulder room and 1.2 inches more rear shoulder room than the Mustang Mach-E.

Cargo Capacity

With its sedan body style and remote trunk release lockout, the Electrified G80 offers cargo security. The Mustang Mach-E’s sport utility bodystyle defeats cargo security.

A standard locking glovebox keeps your small valuables safer in the Electrified G80. The Mustang Mach-E doesn’t offer locking storage for small valuables.

Ergonomics

The Electrified G80’s standard easy entry system raises the steering wheel and glides the driver’s seat back, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. An easy entry system costs extra on the Mustang Mach-E.

The Electrified G80 has a standard heads-up display that projects speed, warning and navigation instruction readouts in front of the driver’s line of sight, allowing drivers to view information without diverting their eyes from the road. The Mustang Mach-E doesn’t offer a heads-up display.

The Electrified G80 has a standard locking charge port door with a remote release located convenient to the driver. A locking charge port prevents tampering and damage to the charging system. The Mustang Mach-E doesn’t offer a locking charge port.

A power rear sunshade and manual rear side window sunshades are standard in the Electrified G80 to help block heat and glare for the rear passengers. The Mustang Mach-E doesn’t offer a rear sunshade.

When the Electrified G80 is put in reverse, both rearview mirrors tilt from their original position. This gives the driver a better view of the curb during parallel parking maneuvers. Shifting out of reverse puts the mirrors into their original positions. The Mustang Mach-E’s mirrors don’t automatically adjust for backing.

The Electrified G80’s standard rear and side view mirrors have an automatic dimming feature. These mirrors can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on them, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Mustang Mach-E has an automatic rear view mirror, but its side mirrors don’t dim.

The Electrified G80 has standard heated front seats. Heated front seats cost extra on the Mustang Mach-E. The Electrified G80 also offers optional heated rear seats to keep those passengers extremely comfortable in the winter. Heated rear seats aren’t available in the Mustang Mach-E.

Standard air-conditioned seats in the Electrified G80 keep the driver and front passenger comfortable and take the sting out of hot seats in Summer. The Mustang Mach-E doesn’t offer air-conditioned seats.

The Electrified G80 has a standard heated steering wheel to take the chill out of steering on extremely cold winter days before the car heater warms up. A heated steering wheel costs extra on the Mustang Mach-E.

The Electrified G80 has standard massaging front seats in order to maximize comfort and eliminate fatigue on long trips. Massaging seats aren’t available in the Mustang Mach-E.

The Electrified G80’s Smart Parking Assist can parallel park by itself, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. Remote Smart Parking Assist will park and retrieve your car remotely: press a button and watch it park itself. This is ideal for tight locations. The Mustang Mach-E’s automatic parking system does not offer parking by remote control.
