Ford has opened up orders for the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E, which has a beginning value of simply $36,495.
Final week, I wrote about 10 electric SUVs/crossovers that compete with the Tesla Model Y and will, in idea, see much more gross sales. The Ford Mustang Mach-E was a kind of fashions, and on the time had a beginning MSRP of $39,995 for the bottom Choose mannequin. That mannequin now comes with a $3,000 cheaper model, however that additionally pulls its EPA-estimated vary right down to 260 mile (RWD) or 240 mile (eAWD) — when you can nonetheless get the 300-mile model for a bit extra money.
I like this. Personally, I feel the necessity for 300+ miles of vary is overhyped and fully incorrect for many automobiles. Even in a family that ceaselessly takes very long-distance journeys, they in all probability have one automotive devoted to that function and one other automotive or two that stays dwelling and is absolutely solely used for metropolis/metro space/regional driving — the place 200 miles of vary is greater than satisfactory. So, I like that Ford is giving shoppers extra alternative, opening up the choice of going electrical to extra consumers with totally different wants relating to value and vary.
Additionally, I adopted up that story by asking how some of those compelling electric vehicles could reach sales volumes closer to the Model Y’sthat are a number of occasions greater. The very fact is: exhibiting a decrease beginning MSRP, even when meaning providing a decrease base vary that most individuals gained’t select, is an effective way to get extra individuals paying consideration and check driving the automotive. So, kudos to Ford for that.
I’m curious to see how a lot this stuff will help Ford to spice up Mustang Mach-E gross sales. The Mach-E was the 5th best selling electric vehicle in the US in the 4th quarterand the 3rd best selling EV in 2024 overall. With greater than 50,000 gross sales, it solely trailed the Tesla Mannequin 3 (~190,000 gross sales) and Tesla Mannequin Y (~370,000 gross sales), however as you’ll be able to see, there’s much more alternative for gross sales at its value factors.
The brand new 2025 Mustang Mach-E additionally affords the next key enhancements:
- A brand new warmth pump that optimizes vitality effectivity, particularly useful in chilly climate.
- BlueCruise hands-free freeway driving with Computerized Lane Change.
- A brand new Sport Look Bundle.
- “Ability to set a universal charge limit, schedule preferred charge times and access real-time charging information directly on the vehicle screen. The connected navigation system now also locates compatible Tesla Superchargers.”
The Mustang Mach-E is healthier than ever, at a cheaper price than ever. This mannequin ought to have a terrific 12 months.
“Furthermore, the Ford Power Promise program provides retail customers ordering any new Ford electric vehicle—including the Mustang Mach-E—with a complimentary home charger, standard installation, and 24/7 access to a dedicated electric vehicle support advisor,” Ford wrote in an e mail to CleanTechnica. I wrote about this nice Ford program earlier this month. See: “Ford ‘Power Promise’ Extended into 2025 for US Electric Vehicle Buyers.”
“Four years ago, we revealed the Mustang Mach-E®to the world and today I am excited that customer orders for the 2025 Mustang Mach-E are open,” Darren Palmer, Vice President of Ford Electrical Automobile Applications, wrote earlier today. “We’ve incorporated feedback to address key concerns and enhance the driving experience. This includes a heat pump for improved efficiency in colder climates and the latest version of BlueCruise with Automatic Lane Change for a seamless hands-free highway driving experience and more flexibility in how customers can purchase a plan. We have also addressed customer requests for features that improve the charging experience, so we added the capability to set a universal charge limit, schedule preferred charge times at specific locations, and access real-time charging information in vehicle. Users will also now be able to find compatible Tesla Superchargers in the connected Nav in their vehicle.”
“It’s hard to believe that our first ground-up electric SUV is already celebrating its fourth birthday. This milestone isn’t just about a number; it represents a shift in the automotive landscape and what customers are looking for. It’s about how people perceive electric vehicles and, more broadly, the Ford brand today.”
Palmer additionally notes that the Mustang Mach-E has been prolonged into 57 world markets this 12 months, and 60% of Mustang Mach-E consumers are new to Ford.
