Overview
The Mustang Mach-E debuted as Ford's first purpose-built electric vehicle back in 2021, shooting to the top of our ratings. Four years later, with growing competition, it remains a solid choice for its range, performance and technology features. We classify it as an SUV, though in person it's more like a long hatchback with its lower ride height. That has benefits all its own, with easy-to-access seats and a lower center of gravity for improved cornering abilities. With these qualities in mind, the Mach-E has broad appeal whether you're looking for a convenient EV or a fun runabout that proves itself worthy of the Mustang name.
Edmunds spotlight: A range of Mustang Mach-E choices
With a starting price in the low $40,000s, the Mustang Mach-E is one of the more affordable EVs on sale today. That gets you an easy-to-drive hatchback/crossover with 250 miles of EPA-estimated range in rear-wheel-drive form, which should be plenty for daily commuters. Shoppers can upgrade to the next trim level and opt for a larger battery that extends range to 320 miles, making it a better pick for road trips. For drivers seeking the kind of excitement associated with the Mustang name, the GT packs a mighty 480-horsepower wallop with suspension and brake upgrades to please the performance-minded. Add in the off-road-capable Rally model and it seems there's a Mustang Mach-E to suit almost any budget and taste.
Competitors to consider
Despite being a bit of an unusual mix of crossover and hatchback, the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E is joined by two similar competing mashups. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is our current favorite with its funky retro styling, quick charging capabilities, and a lineup that also spans from mild to wild. There's also the popular Tesla Model Y that benefits from one of the best charging networks, though its infotainment interface is distracting and lacks smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Check out our Expert Rating below to see where the Mustang Mach-E leads and where it can use some improvement.
What’s it like to live with?
The Mustang Mach-E represents a big change for Ford, so we added one of the early models to the Edmunds long-term test fleet. Over the course of almost 20,00 miles, our staff had a more complete ownership experience with plenty of data regarding range, performance, comfort and technology. Check out our results of our 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E extended test here.
Am I Ready for an EV?
- EV ownership works best if you can charge at home (240V outlet) This typically means a 240V home installation, or other places your car is parked for several hours each day. Don't expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice.
- Adding a home charging system is estimated to cost $1,616 in This is an estimate for your area. Using your address and the answers you provide, Treehouse can provide a more accurate price.

Edmunds Expert Rating
Performance
In typical driving, the Mach-E delivers a buttery smooth experience. The regenerative braking effect works well and allows for one-pedal driving, which means you can slow down to a complete stop just by taking your foot off the accelerator. We actually prefer doing this than using the brake pedal; it's a little vague and grabby, making it hard to stop smoothly in typical driving.
Comfort
On the highway, the Mustang Mach-E's cabin is well insulated against wind and ambient noise. The main drawback is a somewhat busy and stiff ride over rough or broken pavement. It's not uncomfortable but other EVs, such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, ride more smoothly over bumps.
Interior
In back, there's ample space for adults. Despite the Mach-E's fastback roofline, visibility is surprisingly decent, and climbing into and out of the cabin takes little effort. The Mach-E's push-button door releases are pretty cool and work well, though we wonder how robust they'll be over time.
Technology
Ford offers a decent list of driver aids, including the BlueCruise system that allows hands-free driving in certain conditions and on select highways. The latest iteration generally works well, though we think it would still benefit from further refinement. We found in our testing that BlueCruise stops working with little warning and occasionally makes poor steering or lane change decisions. As such, it's hard to really trust it, which is the whole point of hands-free driving. Otherwise, the adaptive cruise works smoothly and holds tight gaps without constantly tapping the brakes. The surround-view camera system provides lots of angles and looks clear in the center screen.
Storage
Up front, a two-tiered console offers plenty of storage options for your personal items and makes the front cabin look more spacious. The side door pockets are a decent width but short on height. A wireless charging pad ahead of the cupholders looks like it will accommodate two phones, but it's really only big enough for one.
Got little kids? The child safety seat anchor points are located behind slits in the seatback. They're not as visible as the Euro-style Isofix anchors but provide OK access.
Range and Efficiency
We've also run the Mach-E through the Edmunds EV Charging Test to find out how quickly it can charge and gain range at a public DC fast-charging station. Here, the Mach-E is underwhelming, ranking as one of the slowest-charging electric SUVs in our testing. That means you'll likely be spending more time charging on a road trip than with a rival such as the Kia EV6.
Value
Ford's warranty is a bit less generous compared to luxury makes but isn't that far off. Coverage lasts for three years/36,000 miles for bumper-to-bumper and five years/60,000 miles for the powertrain. Electric components are covered for eight years/100,000 miles and coverage includes a guarantee that the battery will retain at least 70% of its original capacity.
Wildcard
Which Mustang Mach-E does Edmunds recommend?
We recommend the midrange Premium trim for the convenience of a power rear hatch, heated front seats, and a premium audio system to fill the otherwise silent cabin. On top of that, we'd add the larger battery option to eliminate range anxiety.
Ford Mustang Mach-E models
[Editor's note: The following unofficial information is based on last year's Mustang Mach-E. We expect the 2025 model will have a similar lineup and we'll update this section once we have complete information.] The Ford Mustang Mach-E is a five-passenger all-electric SUV that comes in three main trim levels: Select, Premium, GT and Rally. Power outputs and the EPA-estimated range vary by the differing battery and electric motor configurations. Keep reading for our rundown of what you get with each trim as well as a quick look at the Mach-E's standard and optional features.
To start, know that the Mustang Mach-E comes with either a standard-size battery pack (72 kWh capacity) or an available Extended Range battery (91 kWh). It is also available with either a single electric motor that powers the rear wheels or dual electric motors that give the Mach-E all-wheel drive. The vehicle's power varies based on the combination that you get.
- Single motor and the standard battery pack: 264 horsepower and 387 lb-ft of torque
- Dual motors and the standard battery pack: 325 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque
- Single motor and the Extended Range battery: 290 hp and 387 lb-ft
- Dual motors and the Extended Range battery: 365 hp and 500 lb ft
There's also the GT version. It has dual motors and the Extended Range battery but is more powerful.
- GT: 480 hp and 600 lb-ft
- GT with the Performance Upgrade package: 480 hp and 700 lb-ft
And what about range, you ask? That also varies on what you pick. You can expect about 230-250 miles of range from the standard battery or up to 300-320 miles with the Extended Range battery.
