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.
According to GeoTab’s data, if the observed degradation rates are maintained, the vast majority of batteries will outlast the usable life of the vehicle.

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.

edmunds TESTED
The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT offers a genuine step up in performance from the standard model while remaining comfortable and well appointed. As a bonus, the Mach-E GT delivers better efficiency and more range than other performance-oriented EVs.
How does the Mustang Mach-E GT drive? One of our biggest complaints with the original Mach-E GT was the powertrain. While it was quick to 60 mph, the Ford only allowed for 10 seconds of full acceleration before cutting power, tanking the Mach-E's quarter-mile times compared to other performance EVs. That's been fixed, and the GT was much quicker than before. At our test track it sprinted from 0 to 60 in 3.7 seconds and raced through the quarter mile in 12 seconds at 111.9 mph. The Mach-E Rally (which shares a powertrain with the GT) beat the GT's times by 0.1 second to 60 mph and in the quarter mile. Braking performance for both was respectable, though neither is at the top of its class. We do appreciate that Ford allows for full one-pedal driving.
Handling in the GT remains solid, with excellent grip at the limit, at least with the optional summer tires. Performance with the GT's standard all-seasons was farther off the mark than we'd prefer. The lifted Mach-E Rally isn't as capable as the GT on the street, but the car is a blast to drive on dirt roads or loose surfaces.
Comfort
8.5/10
How comfortable is the Mustang Mach-E GT? The Mustang Mach-E GT errs on the sporty side of comfortable. The ride is firm around town but not harsh, and we didn't have any complaints after a nine-hour day behind the wheel. A lot of credit goes to the Mach-E GT's seats. They're well padded and provide good support, though a bit more bolstering would help improve the GT's sporty feel. The rear seats are comfortable, though the padding feels a bit firm.
It's pretty quiet on the road, too. Wind and road noise is mostly isolated, though the tires occasionally roared on certain highway surfaces. There's an optional powertrain noise that gives the Mach-E a bit of a spaceship aura, but it can be disabled.
Interior
8/10
How’s the interior? Ford doesn't make another vehicle that looks and feels quite like the Mustang Mach-E inside. The overall design is clean, and the large center screen commands your attention. It's used to control most major functions and settings. The menu system is intuitive and well organized, though it can occasionally be slow to respond to inputs.
Getting in and out of the Mach-E isn't too difficult, even with the sleek roofline. The doors open fairly wide, and the seats aren't overly low or high. The push-button door handles are neat too. The driving position is upright, though you don't feel like you're too high even with the seat's limited adjustment. Outward visibility is limited by the narrow rear window, but the view forward and over your shoulder is fairly good.
How’s the tech? The Mustang Mach-E offers Ford's latest in-car tech and driver aids. The 15.5-inch touchscreen display features an excellent navigation system as well as standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. There's a wireless charging pad too, though it couldn't charge our phones quickly enough to keep up with power demand of wireless CarPlay. Ford includes both USB-A and -C ports that will charge your phone quickly. Following Tesla's lead, Ford offers over-the-air updates that should make dealer visits less frequent.
Ford offers a decent list of driver aids, including the BlueCruise system that allows hands-free driving in certain conditions on select highways. The latest iteration works well, though we think it would benefit from further improvement in making lane changes. 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
8/10
How’s the storage? The Mustang Mach-E features an excellent amount of cargo space and cabin storage. There's 29.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row. That can expand to 59.7 cubes with the second row folded down. That's better than rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, but Tesla offers more storage in the Model Y. That's true of the front trunk too, which is smaller on the Ford than the Tesla. We do like that the Mach-E's features a drain hole, meaning you can fill it with ice at a tailgate. Storage in the front of the cabin is good, with a spacious center console and shelves under the center screen.
Installing a car seat won't be too difficult, though the anchors aren't as easy to access as in some other SUVs.
How economical is the Mustang Mach-E GT? We drove both the Mach-E GT and Mach-E Rally in the real-world Edmunds EV Range Test, and both models slightly beat their EPA estimate. The GT drove 281 miles on a single charge, or 1 mile past its EPA estimates. The Rally drove 272 miles on a 265-mile EPA estimate. Consumption was better than the EPA figure, too, measuring 35.2 kWh of electricity used for every 100 miles of driving for the GT. While there are EVs with better range, Ford's performance electrics offer more range and better efficiency than rivals like the Tesla Model Y Performance or Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.
Value
7.5/10
Is the Mustang Mach-E GT a good value? The Mach-E GT is priced competitively against the Tesla Model Y Performance and Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Build quality is solid, with the Mach-E packing the most premium Ford interior you'll find short of a Lincoln. Ford's three-year/36,000-mile basic and five-year/60,000-mile warranty is average for the class. Ford also offers five years/60,000 miles of roadside assistance, too, which is better than most rivals.
Wildcard
9/10
When it comes to personality and pure driving pleasure, EVs don't get much better than the Mach-E GT or the Mach-E Rally. Both are quick and boast sporty handling and strong brakes. The Mach-E Rally is a particular charmer. The white wheels, big wing and lifted ride height give it a tough, purposeful appearance. And it's not just for show; the Mach-E is a ball of fun whether you're on the street or an unpaved road.
Which Mustang Mach-E does Edmunds recommend?
The Mustang Mach-E GT comes well stocked with standard features. We'd suggest getting the GT Performance Upgrade package. If you're buying a GT, you might as well spend a bit more to get the extra power.
The overall sentiment for the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E is mixed. Owners love the car's speed, smooth drive, and roomy interior, and they find it fun to drive and easy to charge. However, some owners have reported issues like bumpy rides, poor paint quality, and range reduction in cold weather. Additionally, there are complaints about service experiences and certain tech features.
