2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E adds standard heat pump, costs $38,490 | KRON4

The Ford Mustang Mach-E received a host of updates for 2024, including faster charging, more range on some trims, and polished performance credentials in the form of a new Rally variant and an optional performance upgrade for the Mach-E GT. But the 2025 model still gets a few updates as well.

Among those updates is a standard heat pump that, as previously shown in other EVs, generally means improved efficiency in cold weather, on longer trips. That helps address cold-weather range loss in EVs, an area where the Mach-E may have room for improvement. It had fairly high cold-weather range loss compared to other EV models in a 2023 study by battery-firm Recurrent.

The available BlueCruise 1.5 hands-free highway driving system (2024 models had version 1.3) adds automated lane changes, initiated when the vehicle ahead is moving slower than the system’s set speed, or when a car is following too closely in the passing lane. BlueCruise itself comes with one year of free access on GT and Rally models (it’s a $495 option on Select and Premium models) if the system is activated at vehicle purchase (otherwise, customers get a 90-day trial). When ordering, customers can purchase BlueCruise via a one-time fee, or set up a subscription plan.

A new Ford Connectivity Package includes connected navigation that enables an EV trip planner features, 5G wifi, and entertainment apps like YouTube (which only works while parked) and Alexa. The latter ports over one of the headline features of the Ford Digital Experience infotainment system rolling out in other models—but so far not the Mach-E.

Also new for 2025 is a Sport Appearance Package that applies some of the visual accoutrements of the Mach-E GT to lower-priced models. It includes the GT’s front fascia, grille, and red Brembo-branded front brake calipers, as well as black 19-inch wheels. Inside, the package adds red accent stitching and sport pedals, while all Mach-E models switch to a column-mounted shifter, replacing the previous rotary dial.

Range is likely to remain at a maximum 320 miles with rear-wheel drive and the 91-kwh (usable) Extended Range battery pack, or up to 250 miles with the 72-kwh Standard Range pack. All-wheel drive is also available with both packs, with range likely staying at 300 miles with the Extended Range pack and 230 miles with the Standard Range pack.

Mach-E GT models turn output from the dual-motor powertrain up to 480 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque. The optional GT Performance Upgrade increases torque to 700 lb-ft and allowing the Mach-E to gallop from 0-60 mph in a Ford-estimated 3.3 seconds and through the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds. The Mach-E Rally combines the GT powertrain with rally-ready tires, suspension, and software tuning.

Pricing starts at $38,490 (all prices include a mandatory $1,995 destination charge) for a Select base model with rear-wheel drive and the Standard Range Pack, and $41,990 for the Premium grade. All-wheel drive adds $3,000 to the MSRP for both grades, while the Extended Range pack costs $3,750 on Premium models. It’s $5,250 on the Select, and can only be ordered with all-wheel drive. GT and Rally models, which are only available with the larger battery pack, cost $54,490 and $57,990, respectively.

UPDATED to clarify that BlueCruise is initially available to customers for one year if activated at the time of vehicle purchase, before any subscription plans or other fees come into effect.
