Buying tip
The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E’s spirited performance would be enough to recommend it on its own, but this EV impresses for its refinement and range, too.
What kind of vehicle is the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E? What does it compare to?
The 2025 Mustang Mach-E is a pony car for the future with electric power and a practical SUV-esque shape. Compare it to the Chevrolet Blazer EV, Tesla Model Y, and Hyundai Ioniq 5.
Is the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E a good car/SUV?
Yes, the Mustang Mach-E is a highly appealing electric vehicle. It offers competitive range and stylish lines, plus a high degree of powertrain refinement. It earns a high TCC rating of 8.0 out of 10. (Read more about how we rate cars.)
What's new for the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E?
The Mach-E’s available BlueCruise hands-off driver-assistance technology is upgraded with the ability to execute lane changes automatically. There’s also a new Sport Appearance Package, a standard heat pump, and some new colors. The base Mach-E also costs $3,500 less this year.
While it’s not quite a Mustang SUV, the Mach-E nods to the marque’s illustrious past with its muscular haunches and dual trio of vertical taillights. It’s a good-looking vehicle with a sleek roofline and attractive proportions. Inside, the Mustang Mach-E has some of the nicest materials Ford puts in any of its models, and its simple design does a nice job of balancing tech with aesthetics. It’s not overwhelming, but it is easy enough to figure out compared to some more complicated rivals.
Ford offers a bevvy of Mach-E choices, including a choice of one or two electric motors (for rear- or all-wheel drive) and either a 72-kwh or a 91-kwh battery pack. The smaller pack boasts trick tech that allows for regular full charges, but it tops out at 250 miles of range. The bigger pack comes with the standard EV disclaimer that you shouldn’t regularly top it up beyond an 80% charge, but it offers upward of 300 miles of range. The zippy GT has more power for Tesla-grade acceleration, while the Rally shoots for an admittedly niche audience with its light-duty off-road-oriented spec.
All models have a certain sporty flair thanks to quick steering and sharp moves. Most also have a compliant ride. The Mach-E is certainly one of the most polished EVs on the market.
It’s also comfy inside, with good front seats and a rear bench that can handle two or three passengers. Cargo space won’t rival a like-sized gas-fueled EV due to the sloping roofline, but with around 30 cubic feet with the rear seat backs upright it’s fairly practical nonetheless.
The Mach-E comes well-equipped with crash-avoidance tech and has done well in what collision tests have been performed. BlueCruise—Ford’s spectacular hands-off tech—is standard, but you’ll have to pay a monthly charge after a 90-day trial period. It’s worth it for road warriors who may use their Mach-Es on a tiring commute.
How much does the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E cost?
It's $38,490 for a base Mustang Mach-E this year, which includes the Standard Range battery and a single electric motor for rear-wheel drive. It’s fairly well equipped with synthetic leather upholstery, a power-adjustable driver seat, a big 15.5-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and 19-inch ally wheels. The Mexico-built Mach-E is not currently eligible for any federal EV rebates, however.
Where is the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E made?
In Mexico.
2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Styling
The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E sports a muscular look.
Is the Ford Mustang Mach-E a good-looking SUV?
Yes. It’s full of Mustang cues without looking like a mere SUV-ish version of the automaker’s iconic coupe. The Mustang Mach-E has a great shape that stands on its own, and its interior isn’t bad either. It rates an 8 here.
The Mach-E’s front end channels the 'Stang only in its prancing horse. The big black grille-like panel is flanked by sharp headlights that dive into the flared front fenders. The Mach-E has a relatively long and low hood, which gives way to an upright greenhouse. More a fastback than a traditional SUV, the profile culminates in the only obvious retro cue: three vertical taillights on each side that blink sequentially and look great.
The cabin has a low dash punctuated by a tall, tablet-like touchscreen. It’s sparse without feeling spartan, thanks in part to what may be the automaker’s best use of soft-touch materials. Don’t look for many buttons or knobs, though. They’re mostly integrated into the touchscreen.
2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Performance
There’s plenty of pony car muscle in the all-electric Mustang Mach-E.
The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E is a natural athlete with good acceleration, slick moves, and, usually, a comfy ride. Its overall balance and quick responses earn it a 7 on our scale.
Is the Ford Mustang Mach-E 4WD?
Single- and dual-motor versions offer either rear- or all-wheel drive, depending on the trim level.
How fast is the Ford Mustang Mach-E?
It’s sprightly in any form, with between 264 and 480 hp on tap and up to 700 lb-ft of torque. Base rear-drive versions hit 60 mph in a quick 5.6 seconds, while the quickest GT versions can handle that task in just 3.3 seconds. Myriad configurations mean differing power outputs and acceleration times across the range, so shop closely if maximum performance is the goal.
If you’re after a fast Mustang Mach-E, you’ll probably want the GT. The available Performance Upgrade ups torque from 600 to 700 lb-ft, which makes it quick in any situation. The Mach-E GT is also essentially drama-free unless you tap your way to a selectable drive mode that mimics the snarl of a V-8-powered 1960s Mustang. Hokey, yes, but also fun.
The Mach-E has a one-pedal driving mode that works particularly well, though shoppers jumping into the EV world for the first time will likely prefer the Coast mode that doesn’t attempt to bring the vehicle to a halt when the driver lets off the throttle pedal.
Quick-witted and well-weighted steering endows the Mach-E with a particularly lively feel. It’s also somewhat light on its tires for an EV. Add in its low center of gravity and the Mustang Mach-E is a true delight to drive. The GT with the Performance Upgrade and the Rally both have stronger Brembo front brakes, plus individual tuning for their magnetic dampers. Base Mach-Es ride quite well, though the extra suspension travel of the Rally makes it the most fun over lousy infrastructure. The GT is firmer, but a 2024 suspension upgrade smooths over the sharp stuff better than before.
2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Comfort & Quality
The Mustang Mach-E has a comfortable, well-outfitted cabin.
The Ford Mustang coupe and convertible could learn a lot about interior comfort from the Mach-E. This model has a spacious interior with good room for passengers and their gear. It’s an 8 here.
The Mach-E isn’t as expansive inside as a conventional SUV, but it has great front seats and a rear bench capable of handling three passengers in a pinch. Note that the base version lacks power adjustments for the front passenger seat, however.
Behind the rear seats, you’ll find nearly 30 cubic feet of cargo space. That volume doubles to 59.7 cubes with the rear seat backs down—and there’s another 4.8 cubic feet under the front trunk (or frunk), which also has a convenient drain plug.
The Mach-E’s cabin has nice materials throughout, making it something of a de facto flagship for Ford’s SUV lineup. The optional panoramic roof doesn’t open, but it gives the interior a bright, airy feel, and it opens up a bit more headroom for taller occupants.
2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Safety
The 2025 Ford Mustang comes with a trial of Ford’s great BlueCruise system.
How safe is the Ford Mustang Mach-E?
The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E is a safe choice, even though it lacks full crash-test data. It has received a five-star rating from the NHTSA and “Good” scores in what limited tests have been performed by the IIHS on the 2024 model. Team that with a good standard safety feature set and it earns a 7 here.
The Mach-E comes with automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, active lane control, blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alerts with automatic rear braking, automatic high-beams, and front and rear parking sensors. Also available are adaptive cruise control, intersection assist, and a surround-view camera system that’s useful since over-the-shoulder vision isn’t great.
Ford’s BlueCruise driver-assist system that allows for lengthy stretches of hands-off driving is available. The system is generally included with a 90-day trial, and it reverts to a per-month subscription thereafter. New this year, the system can execute many lane changes automatically, too.
2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Features
Ford offers a host of Mustang Mach-E versions.
The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E comes in numerous configurations, none of which lack for features. We rate the range at an 8 out of 10 thanks to its standard features, its breadth of choices, and its decent infotainment tech.
The 3-year/36,000-mile warranty is the bare minimum for a new model, though at least the EV battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles.
The Mach-E range now starts at $38,490 including a mandatory $1,995 destination charge, a $3,500 drop from last year’s lowest price—and Ford lowered prices during the 2024 model year to boot. The base Select trim includes a single motor and a 72-kwh battery good for 250 miles of range. A second motor for all-wheel drive ups the price by $3,000. Standard equipment on the base Select trim includes a 15.5-inch touchscreen, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless charging pad, an 8-way power driver seat, synthetic leather upholstery, and 19-inch alloy wheels.
Which Ford Mustang Mach-E should I buy?
As tempting as the sportier versions are, the Mach-E is at its best toward the bottom of the lineup. Still, we think it’s worth seeking out the Extended Range battery, and many buyers will want the comfort of all-wheel drive. The Premium trim costs $3,500 more than the base Select and it adds such niceties as power-adjustable and heated front seats, a power tailgate, and heated front seats. It’s also available with a big fixed glass roof. It runs $48,740 for one with all-wheel drive and the bigger battery pack.
The more powerful GT is noticeably quicker, though some may have a hard time justifying its $54,490 base price despite the standard magnetic dampers, Brembo front brakes, sport seats, and 20-inch wheels. It’s great to drive, though, so pick it if you want a sportier Mustang Mach-E.
How much is a fully loaded Ford Mustang Mach-E?
The Mach-E Rally runs $57,990. It comes only with all-wheel drive and boasts the most power in the lineup. It’s remarkably well-outfitted for what could very well have been an appearance package. You’ll find special wheels with Michelin tires that are adept in a variety of terrain plus underbody protection and special suspension tuning.
2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Fuel Economy
The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E is quite efficient.
Is the Ford Mustang Mach-E efficient?
It is indeed, with most versions achieving at least 3.0 miles per kwh and somewhere around 300 miles of estimated range. Those figures work out to a perfect 10 on the TCC scale.
Range estimates vary by drive wheels and battery capacity. The cheapest model checks in at a mere 250-mile range, which isn’t particularly impressive. Add the second motor for all-wheel drive and that figure drops to just 230 miles, making the Extended Range upgrade (with its 91-kwh battery) a smart move for its 300-mile range. The top dog here is the rear-drive Premium with the Extended Range battery, which is rated as high as 320 miles. The Mach-E Rally, meanwhile, has just 265 miles of range with that setup.
Uniquely, the 72-kwh standard battery features a lithium-ion-phosphate chemistry, which Ford says can be charged up to 100% every day. The other versions’ nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) lithium-ion structure shouldn’t be topped off daily for maximum life.
Ford says that the Mach-E can charge from 10-80% in about 36 minutes on a Level 3 charger, though we’ve yet to see one zip up quite so quickly. Most drivers will use Level 2 chargers, which can add around 30 miles of charge per hour.
