2025 Mustang Mach-E Adds Sportier Looks, Auto Lane Changes, Heat Pump, Ventilated Seats & More

[Kevin P]

They need some OS changes before I would consider getting back in a GT. And it would require zero hardware... Number one would be to be able to set a global max charge that is editable easily and not have it dependent on location, which doesn't work consistently for a lot of MME owners. Second thing they need to fix, in the GT specifically, is the laughably bad ride in the rear seats. Well, second thing on my 21 would have been the 5-sec deal but that is now resolved. If those three things hadn't been an issue with my 21, I would still have it.
Concerning the GT-nose on the Premium, that has been typical ICE Mustang practice forever, including when the 2013 GT introduced a very similar front-end to the 2010-2012 GT500s. Even way before that, with Fox-body Mustangs, near the end of the cycle you could get what were previously 5.0-only wheels on the 4 cylinders.

2025 Mustang Mach-E Adds Sportier Looks, Auto Lane Changes and More

• Added Standard Equipment: The 2025 Mustang Mach-E® adds a heat pump to help optimize energy consumption, especially in colder weather conditions
• More Personalization: A Sport Appearance Package offers Mustang Mach-E GT design elements on Premium models; new colors and wheels are also available
• Enhanced BlueCruise: The latest version of hands-free highway driving, adds Automatic Lane Change, automating up to 45% of lane changes on an average drive, based on internal testing

DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 21, 2024 – To give customers more of what they have been asking for, 2025 Mustang Mach-E adds a new standard heat pump, automatic lane changes using the latest version of available BlueCruise1 hands-free highway driving – BlueCruise 1.5 – and a new Sport Appearance Package, all at an appealing price point and with zero vehicle emissions.

“We’ve built strong relationships with our customers over the last four years, and continue to make upgrades based on their feedback,” said Donna Dickson, Mustang Mach-E chief engineer. “We’re dedicated to giving them the best version of Mustang Mach-E possible, and that means giving them features they have been asking for, like the new heat pump and more interior space up front.”

Ford continues to monitor forums and listen to customers to integrate their feedback into its products and to enhance the total electric vehicle ownership experience by offering the Ford Power Promise, which addresses customer pain points.

Premium and Sporty
For Premium model buyers seeking a sportier look, a new Sport Appearance Package brings key styling cues from Mustang Mach-E GT at a lower price point, including the front fascia and grille shield and painted red front Brembo®-branded brake calipers, as well as 19-inch Monochromatic High-Gloss Black-Painted wheels and black-painted door cladding and wheel lips.

Red accent stitching and sport pedals complete the interior upgrades. Ventilated front seats are now standard on Premium models. A column-mounted shifter replaces the previous center- mounted dial shifter on all models, freeing up console space.

Automatic Lane Changes With BlueCruise 1.5
BlueCruise 1.5, the latest version of the available hands-free highway driving system, debuts on the 2025 Mustang Mach-E. BlueCruise 1.5 includes a new feature, Automatic Lane Change, where the system can smoothly and seamlessly perform a lane change for you without driver input.

BlueCruise 1.5 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. It keeps drivers engaged longer in hands- free mode and helps navigate traffic. Internal testing shows BlueCruise 1.5 automates up to 45% of driver-initiated lane changes on a typical drive.

New 2025 Mustang Mach-E customers will have more options at vehicle order for how they access BlueCruise, with a one-year plan and one-time purchase option.2 Those who opt for the one-time purchase won’t need to reactivate BlueCruise. A 90-day complimentary trial is also available for those who don’t choose either plan option.

In-Vehicle Experience: New Ford Connectivity Package
The new Ford Connectivity Package enhances the in-vehicle experience. This package includes:

• Wi-Fi® Hotspot: 5G Wi-Fi keeps drivers and their family online and connected while on the road. This can be used for up to 10 personal devices and can extend up to 50 feet from the vehicle, great for camping or tailgating. 3
• Apps: Access apps via the in-vehicle screen to watch YouTube or sing along to in- vehicle karaoke while parked. Occupants can also stream their favorite audio entertainment apps via Alexa.4
• Maps: Access Connected Navigation to get where you need to go, including features such as EV Trip Planner, Predictive Destinations, and Route Guidance.5
  At vehicle order, customers can select a one-time purchase6 without having to worry about setting up a plan. If they don’t select this option, they will receive a one-year complimentary trial upon activation and then can set-up an annual plan.
  More Personalization Choices
  Giving customers more ways to personalize their Mustang Mach-E, three new optional colors make their debut for 2025, including Molten Magenta Metallic Tinted Clearcoat7, Velocity Blue Metallic7, and Desert Sand. Three new wheel designs are introduced, including a Dark Carbonized Gray wheel for Mustang Mach-E Rally.
  The GT Performance Upgrade remains available as a factory option or a purchase through the FordPass® app after delivery.
  The 2025 Mustang Mach-E goes on sale in early 2025, starting at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $36,495.

1Available feature. Equipped Ford vehicles come with either a complimentary trial period or an included duration, after which purchase of a BlueCruise subscription is required. Modem activation is required for subscription purchase and for initial activation of BlueCruise (for pre-2024 model-year vehicles). See ford.com/bluecruise for details. BlueCruise is a driver-assist feature and does not replace safe driving or driver’s attention, judgment, or need to control the vehicle. Only remove hands in a hands-free Blue Zone. Always watch the road and be prepared to resume control. See Owner’s Manual for details and limitations.
2BlueCruise service will be active for a minimum seven years (nontransferable to another VIN). No additional subscription purchase will be required to maintain BlueCruise service beyond the seven years if the service is available.
3Evolving technology/cellular networks/vehicle capability may limit functionality and prevent operation of connected features. Data speeds may temporarily be slowed down if network is busy.
4Some Alexa Built-in features require the Ford Connectivity Package or Wi-Fi® network.
5After Connected Navigation three-year inclusion expires, Connected Navigation is only available as part of the Ford Connectivity Package.

2-Stalk shifter: is this better ? you know who else already had that for 2024, GMC Equinox EV and Blazer EV.
3-How do you sell a 60K+ (CAN) with no standard powered liftgate ….just sayin’


thanks for sharing

six pages and nary a mention of bluecruise 1.5 - y'all are slipping.

I guess no one else noticed the unspecified "one time fee for bluecruise"??????

Curious to see what that will cost.

 

[Jimrpa]

it matches the current model Y ... PRND method

I thought Tesla got rid of stalks? In any case, it’s sort of a silly little retro thing.

 

[JustBob]

I like the dial shifter because it's easy to grab and use without having to look at it. I've driven several cars with individual buttons for P, R, N, D, and find that very annoying. This mini stalk would probably be pretty intuitive as well, and does free up some space on center console. But I still think the dial shifter is one of the better features of the Mach-E.

Just when you get used to the rotary shifter they move it somewhere else. Now when you want the wipers you will shift in reverse. Come on Ford, make up your mind.

Im in florida so the heat pump is no big deal, the vented seats are nice option, but my favorite upgrade is the column shifter I do not like the center console selector at all. I would also like the removal of the start button.

 

[Old_Norm]

BTW, you gain a heat pump but you lose ~ half the frunk space:

One of my photos from an event last week in NY state. More on that coming.

Not happy about that.

 

[McS]

where are you seeing ride quality? I looked 3 times in the release. Maybe I'm too excited and missing it.

Oups... I misread. Many wants magnaride in Premium. Oh how I wish it was true..

 

[david_quick]

Does it have the native NACS charge port?

Does it have the native NACS charge port?

Nope.

A little birdie says 2026.

What’s everyone’s guess on when this will actually happen? I am upgrading my ‘21 premium to a GT. I’ve got it on order and is to start production in December. Article says early 2025 but….? I assume the GT will also get some updates. If I stick with the ‘24 I’ve ordered, will I see this new pricing too?

My guess: They will start taking orders in May 2025, and start delivering in August.

The "host of upgrades" Ford brags about looks pretty underwhelming to me. Nothing that would tempt me to switch from my '21.

Yes, I saw. Is May sufficiently early? I think the 2024's went on sale in April this year.

My guess is Ford is trying to move this up earlier in the year.
