The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E is sportier and more affordable

Ford is giving its flagship EV a makeover, a better price and more efficient components to maintain its spot as the second best-selling electric vehicle in America. Say hello to the 2025 Mustang Mach-E.

Unlike the 2024 model, this year's Mach-E isn't getting a range bump, but luckily it doesn't look like it will be necessary. With an improved design and some slick new technology, the refreshed Mach-E is likely to remain popular with buyers for years to come.

First and foremost, the 2025 Mustang Mach-E is getting a standard heat pump, joining the F-150 Lightning Flash in the automaker's lineup. Heat pumps can keep batteries at a more optimal temperature during the winter months, which helps with charging time, range and performance. As the auto industry begins to recognize their usefulness, more EVs are coming with standard heat pumps.

Ford has smoothed out the exterior design with an all-new Sport Appearance Package that takes key styling cues from the GT version of its best-selling EV. These include a new front fascia and grille shield, as well as front Brembo-branded brake calipers that have been painted red. Ford has also thrown in 19-inch monochrome high-gloss black-painted wheels and black-painted door cladding and wheel lips for good measure.

Inside, you'll find red accent stitching and sport pedals for added sportiness. Ford adds ventilated front seats as standard on premium models of the Mac-E. And it replaced the center-mounted dial shifter with a column-mounted shifter to free up console space.

The latest version (1.5) of Ford's hands-free Advanced Driver Assist system, Blue Cruise, debuts with the 2025 Mach-E. The version adds automatic lane change to its repertoire, which Ford says will “automate up to 45% of lane changes in an average drive, based on internal testing.”

The system will change lanes “without driver input”, meaning it will initiate a lane change if the vehicle in front is slower than the set speed or if a vehicle is following too closely in the passing lane. BlueCruise will be available as a monthly or annual subscription for the 2025 Mustang Mach-E.

And the cherry on top is the new, more affordable price: $36,495, excluding incentives and tax credits. That's cheaper than the base Tesla Model Y, the best-selling EV in the US before the Mac-E, and starts at $44,490. This should help Ford maintain its position in the rankings – or even improve its position.
