The Ford Mustang Mach-E can’t afford to rest on its laurels. Sure, it’s still the second best-selling electric SUV after the Tesla Model Y, and Ford says more than half of Mach-E customers are new to the brand. But it’s still been around since late 2020 now and new competition is showing up all of the time.
To keep that momentum going, Ford has refreshed the electric 'stang for 2025 with some key updates inside and out—and most importantly, a lower starting price. The 2025 Mach-E now starts at $36,495 (excluding destination), a $3,500 drop compared to the current model.
The biggest update comes in the form of a heat pump, which will be standard on all 2025 trims. A heat pump improves heating and cooling efficiency, pulling warmth from outside air (even in the cold) to heat the cabin or battery and removing heat to cool the car when it gets toasty outside. This reduces battery drain and helps preserve range, especially in extreme temperatures. Heat pumps were added to the F-150 Lightning last year, so it’s great to see them on the Mach-E as well.
I can’t believe that none of these car companies believe that most people don’t like the large computer monitor mounted to their dashboard. It looks like shit. It’s distracting. It doesn’t work for the use case better than other options.
I’m so confused. The text is about a mustang suv, but the photos are of a fusion hatchback car.
We call the mach e but it’s really not. It’s closer to a large 4 door hatchback than an SUV. I have one and I have a Ford escape… The escape is larger than the mach e and the escape isn’t very big at all.
The EV Mustang is a SUV/ Hatchback crazy combo thing.
An SUV is still not a Mustang, the name is dumb and should be changed. Call it a Moosetang or something else, because if you tell someone the words “electric Mustang” they will picture an electric sportscar unless they have already seen the Moose
I’m surprised racist Henry Ford didn’t crawl out of the ground to beat the design team to a pulp. The Mustang was arguably the most iconic car in all of Ford’s modern history. Bartered away all that legacy for a few shareholder nickels, like cheap whores.
I just call it the mach e.
I would have dug the moosetang tbh
There was a guy who made an electric classic mustang years and years ago. It was so damn cool.
Then Ford says “we can do that” and shits out that thing.
I won’t consider this car a Mustang until I hear of a good percentage of them being crashed into utility poles.
Personally, I’m over complaining about the name choice for this crossover. It’s been 4 years now.
From time to time a manufacturer takes a car’s branding and expands it to encompass a family of cars with similar design elements. Example, Mini.
I’d rather move on and start having discussions about whether or not l these are good EVs and a reasonable alternative to Tesla’s price and performance.
What are your initial impressions regarding the Mach-E compared to other EV options?
I would totally drive a Moosetang. Or, if you want to be boring, just call it a Moose. But that would be hilarious. Make this happen, Ford!
Interesting thing about brands, the owner of the brand gets to decide what they do with it.
The Mustang-ness of the MachE is forced, it definitely pulls some styling from the sports car brand, but it’s not obvious. But the Mustang is the closest ICE vehicle to the MachE performance wise. Ford is trying to show that EVs are sportier than people think. Drive a MachE, a Mustang, and an Edge (the other car the MachE takes styling from) and you’ll know why it’s got ponies on the badges instead of ovals.
Physical controls …
What’s that? More screens you say? coming right up!
I am obsessed with the idea of Ford bring back the hatchback Fiesta as an EV to compete with the Chevy Bolt, and calling it the Ford Festive.
What kind of tax rebate does it qualify for?
$ 7500 if they qualify for the full credit, which is coincidentally exactly how much they raised the price of these cars once the new round of credits were issued.
But does it look like a mustang?
The seats sure feel like a Mustang; I found them pretty uncomfortable after an hour, same as my friend’s Bullitt edition
Yes. Stretched a little longer and taller, and obviously combined with an Edge, but it does hit some of the styling points.
