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.
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 won’t consider this car a Mustang until I hear of a good percentage of them being crashed into utility poles.
Mach-E is such a cool name. Mustang Mach-E is annoying to say.
That said they only picked that name to drum up the controversy and get people talking about the car.

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.
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.
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!
Physical controls …
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?
Yes. Stretched a little longer and taller, and obviously combined with an Edge, but it does hit some of the styling points.
