The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E has been updated for the second time in six months with the latest upgrades adding a standard heat pump and an optional Sport Appearance pack.
It was announced back in April the Mach-E would score a new, lighter rear motor that added more power for the Standard Range and more torque for the Extended Range while the fast-charging capabilities were enhanced across the board.
Ford Australia has now confirmed the MY25 versions will arrive in the second half of next year, with pricing and full specifications set to be released later.
Other upgrades include the addition of a column-mounted gear selector in place of the current model’s rotary set-up and fresh paint options (Molten Magenta, Velocity Blue, Desert Sand) while the Sport Appearance pack adds a GT Performance bumper, gloss black arches, side sills and bumper elements, alloy pedals and red Brembo brakes.
The relocated gear selector has also allowed designers to revise the centre console for more storage space.
US prices of the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E have been dropped by around nine per cent to kick off from just $US36,495 ($A55,000), however it’s not known if similar cuts will be made here.
The Mustang Mach-E has already been subject to two significant price cuts in Australia with the first coming in December 2023 (-$7000) and the second change in May 2024 (-$8000).
American Mach-Es now come with Ford’s latest semi-autonomous cruise control dubbed ‘BlueCruise 1.5’ that, following a recent update, can now carry out automatic lane changes on the highway if it judges the car in front as traveling too slowly.
Unlike other systems however, it will also automatically change back into the slow lane if it feels the car behind is too close.
Ford claims the latest BlueCruise update means the system can perform around 45 per cent of all lane changes on a typical drive autonomously – all without the driver having to place their hands on the wheel.
The system’s full capabilities only work in designated ‘hands-free blue zones’ which are now said to consist of 97 per cent of North America’s country highways.
Sadly, in Australia the tech remains off-limits until a change in laws allow hands off the wheel driving.
