Designers at the Blue Oval have integrated some changes to the all-electric Mach-E for this upcoming model year.
Customers considering a Ford Mustang Mach-E will have a few extra points of ponder in their comparison sheet when the 2025 model appears in showrooms early next year, arguably the most important of which relates to its ventilation system. Ford is making a heat pump standard kit in its Mach-E starting in 2025, a piece of technology which warms the cabin without hoovering as many electrons from an EV’s battery compared to a resistive heater. This helps to keep a lid on energy consumption and preserves a skiff of range, important considerations when the weather turns cold.
BlueCruise has been updated to a newer release version in the 2025 Mach-E, bringing automatic lane changes in some types of driving conditions. Officially called BlueCruise 1.5, it will initiate a lane change if the vehicle ahead is slower than the set speed or if a vehicle is following too closely in the passing lane. BlueCruise will be free for 90 days on these machines; or customers can front $495 for a year at initial purchase, buy it outright for $2,495, or pop $50 a month. We would like to take this opportunity to reiterate our opinion that BlueCruise sounds like discount liquid relief for a medical problem.
There are some styling changes, mostly of the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it variety. A new Sport Appearance package brings key styling cues from Mach-E GT at a more approachable price point, including the GT’s front fascia and grille shield plus red Brembo-branded brake calipers. A trio of new colors include Molten Magenta, Velocity Blue, and Desert Sand (the latter could also known as Premium Beige). New wheel designs round out the bingo card.
As mentioned, the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E goes on sale early next year. It will start at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $36,495 plus fees for an entry level trim, presumably for a base Select trim with rear-wheel drive and a 72 kWh (250-mile) standard-range battery.
