NEW CAR DAY - I've finally gone electric BUT with what car !

New Car Collection Day is Always Great: A Hands-On Review with Pedro Bedford

As I stepped out of my old car and onto the driveway, I couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness. Today was the day I would finally take delivery of my brand new Ford Pass electric SUV. With weeks of anticipation behind me, I had spent hours researching, reading reviews, and watching videos to get an idea of what to expect. And now, with the car in front of me, it was time to put everything into practice.

I took a deep breath and approached the sales team at Handy Ford in Eastleigh, where my new car would be waiting for me. The process was smooth and efficient, thanks to Chloe, who was more than happy to guide me through the handover process. "Thanks, Chloe," I said with a smile as we finalized the paperwork. "I'm really excited to get behind the wheel of this beauty."

As we made our way out of the showroom, Chloe handed me a tablet with the Ford Pass app on it. "This is going to be your new best friend," she joked, as I began to explore the various features and settings. The app gave me access to the Blue Oval Charge Network, which would allow me to charge my car remotely, and also provided detailed information on the car's performance, efficiency, and range.

I paired my phone with Apple CarPlay, using a wireless connection that was both convenient and seamless. With the car keys in hand, I made my way over to the Mustang-inspired SUV, which looked every inch as stunning as it did online. The compact design and sleek lines were sure to turn heads on the road, and I couldn't wait to experience the thrill of driving this new vehicle.

As we walked towards the car, Chloe explained the various features that came with the Ford Pass, including the ability to park the car remotely, using a smartphone app. "You'll be able to schedule charging sessions in advance," she said, "and receive notifications when your car is fully charged." I was impressed by the level of technology integrated into this vehicle and couldn't wait to put it all to the test.

We spent the next hour going through the various options and settings on the Ford Pass app. Chloe walked me through the different driver assistance features, including adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking. I was amazed by how seamless and intuitive everything was – it felt like a true luxury experience behind the wheel.

Before we parted ways, Chloe handed me a USB drive with all the documentation and guides for my new car. "Just in case you have any questions or need any further assistance," she said, with a warm smile. I thanked her profusely, feeling grateful for the excellent service I had received at Handy Ford.

As I made my way back home, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation. The new car was going to be my trusty companion on the road, and I was eager to take it out for a spin and see what it had in store. With the roof open and the wind in my hair, I felt alive – and I knew that this Ford Pass electric SUV was going to bring me hours of joy behind the wheel.

With the camera's ready, I decided to spend some time reviewing the car's features and functionality on the road. As we drove through the rolling hills and picturesque countryside, I couldn't help but feel a sense of freedom and exhilaration. The car handled beautifully, with responsive acceleration and smooth braking. And as we cruised along, I was struck by the sheer silence – it was almost surreal to be driving an electric car without any noise pollution.

The Ford Pass electric SUV was truly a marvel of modern technology, and I was thrilled to have it in my possession. As I continued to explore its features and capabilities on the road, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to review this incredible vehicle. And as we headed back home, I knew that I had found not only a new car, but also a trusted companion for many adventures to come.

With the cameras in place and the sun beginning to set, I took a moment to reflect on my experience with the Ford Pass electric SUV. It was clear that this car was designed with technology and innovation at its core – and I was excited to spend more time exploring its capabilities and features. As we drove off into the sunset, I knew that I had found not only a new car, but also a friend for many adventures to come.

As we approach our final destination, I want to take a moment to thank Chloe and the entire team at Handy Ford in Eastleigh for their excellent service and support. From the initial consultation to the handover process, everyone was professional, courteous, and knowledgeable – and I couldn't be more grateful. If you're considering purchasing a new car, I highly recommend visiting this dealership.

And as we come to a close, I want to leave you with some final thoughts on my experience with the Ford Pass electric SUV. It's clear that this car is designed for those who value technology, innovation, and sustainability – and I'm thrilled to be part of that community. With its impressive range, smooth acceleration, and luxurious features, this car has exceeded all my expectations.

So if you're looking for a new car that combines style, substance, and cutting-edge technology, look no further than the Ford Pass electric SUV. Trust me, you won't be disappointed – it's an experience you'll never forget.

long time producing that bit of glass yeah i love that so i'm not going to go too much into all the specs i don't i'm going to talk in this collection video about horsepower and battery pack and range of low extended range 300 miles especially in this nice warm weather yeah indeed that's good and we'll have to put that to the test um but let's jump inside because it it really is a very special place inside but from the outside i like it i like it a lot very cool so welcome inside my new car now i guess your job when people come and buy a car from a dealership especially a car with so much technology like this is i review cars for a living so i'm used to getting in a new car and working out how things work but i can imagine a lot of people buy a car like this and they just don't have a clue where to start there is so much in this car um all of our customers that tend to purchase from us they've always tested over with us but my job is exactly that when they come and collect a new vehicle from us they've got to be driving out of there happy of how it works and i always offer them the option if they want to come back in because i could be here for hours going over a mackie yeah you need like a degree basically don't you so basically i mean firstly trim lovely black seats red contrast stitching matches the yeah external body kind of stitch vegan leather as well really vegan leather yeah oh very nice now it does look really nice a little bit of kind of carbon fiber-esque finish there yeah i really i remember liking this kind of speaker material because this has got the bang and offset it here so that is actually a sound bar right across your dashboard and each passenger has their own speaker even the ones in the rear yeah they have their own speaker and bang and olson have specially selected how that sound is produced you know they're especially placed as well they don't make there's not many people make better steroids than bang olufsen to be honest um nice big wireless charger one wireless child part there as well which is nice you can charge your phone amazing active park assist so it'll park itself for you oh good i'll have to play with that should we um fire up the of course the huge tablet that is a standout tablet it is indeed so that is syncs for a touch screen intelligent system yeah so that'll be making your tea and coffee before long that way that is that there's quite a lot in there isn't it yeah there it is does it support carplay and android auto android auto wirelessly no need for a wire amazing good right i like that very much

buttons so obviously your indicators your windscreen wipers your cruise control your headlights your memory seat functions yeah um on your gears your handbrake is all still physical yeah they've kept quite a nice balance of buttons and screen you've still got the option to use um a good amount of of both shall i say l for low ratio oh yeah oh so if you want to use that actually okay so off-road mode does that raise the raise the suspension at all just a little bit depend but the suspension is also all dependent on the drive mode so you've got three options of drive mode okay so you've got a whisper which is an eco as active which is a day-to-day and an untamed which is a sport which is the default setting yeah one time yeah quicken your steering your throttle response and obviously um that suspension as well yeah okay i love the the separate little screen in front as well yeah having just driven a model y which has a screen that kind of size yeah but nothing in front i really like that yeah so showing 99 battery state with 265 miles of range i reckon that's because someone's been driving it and untamed a lot though i think that's what happened when i drove from last time i actually took it back when i don't think this is the extended range one but it's just been driven in and untamed a lot yeah what i drive is one pedal driving right yeah if you watch this one pedal yeah that again will and you know impact your driving range if you're on the one pedal because your car will do you breaking for you so it really heightens that regenerative broken it's really and

didn't have very long in it and i just thought it was a really great electric car proposition um i think it looks great from the outside it's the kind of compact suv style format and i know there's plenty of you hate the fact that it's called a mustang and i kind of i do get that mustangs you know are loud and v8 and shouty but they're just using mustang as a brand but to actually experience the car for a longer period of time you know really try and push the car in terms of range really get to grips with all of the technology the the cool thing one of the things chloe's set up is the ford pass app on my phone and that gives me access to blue oval charge network and i can really start to get to grips of what that's like as a user as an owner and you very rarely get to do that even with a press car you might have a press car for a week but we don't normally get access to the app and to the ownership experience like that so i'm really looking forward to that i paired my phone with apple carplay it's wireless it's on the charge map down there which is really cool um obvious thing i need to do actually if i push that button there and then go into this and go untamed mode and i've also got propulsion sound on let's close that down that's more like it i think i'm going to be in untamed mode all the time now i'd love to know one what you think of the car but have you got any questions about it maybe it's a car you're considering buying um maybe you're just generally interested if you've got particular features you'd like me to showcase so it's got some really cool stuff um it can park itself it's got um a whole range of driver assistance features i need to probably spend a bit of time when i get home going through all the different options and so on you know i'll need to do a long range test i've got 96 charge and it's showing a range of 257 miles but again i don't know what the previous history is how this car's been driven because that range will be a prediction of previous behavior so i'm sure i can probably get that up it's a stated range of 300 plus miles in this car but yeah just a really lovely place to be it's going to be great for filming as well this roof gives so much light it's so light and airy in here but i want to say a huge thanks to um all the guys at um handy ford in easley but chloe in particular she reached out to me and we arranged the collection and she agreed to be on camera and sort of talk me through and give me an insight into the handover experience when you buy one of these cars i think it's important to

the max and chloe did that brilliantly um and it's a i'm really proud to be a handy brand ambassador i've now been one for nearly a year as i said at the beginning of the film it's something i'm very
