I'm a Canadian MME driver and I've had YouTube for a couple months now. Go into the app drawer and check the Entertainment tab, you might have it already.
Other than the 800v architecture there is nothing I have experienced that would lead me to recommend any Hyun/Kia car. I've had three of them and it would take a lot to make me consider a 4th. Just my $0.02, and YMMV.
it makes things a lot easier around our house now that iPhone is USB-C, because all our other devices are USB-C.
I can only imagine someone at the dealership being sold 'One month on a month to month no contract, no early termination fees $75. Or Lifetime for $8000. You really should get lifetime, you're going to try to use this all the time, and new features are coming soon.'
The Android Automotive OS has always been slated for model refresh in the past so this didn’t surprise me. Kick to open liftgate were a 2021 model year only thing. Mine only works haphazardly so I’d not miss it on a newer model year. Manually opening and closing though would be a definite downgrade though imo.
They repacked the radiator and slanted it backwards. On the current models the radiator is vertical like a traditional ICE, and the frunk has the curved lump at the front with the cup holders for the radiator fan. Now they’ve tilted the radiator backwards for more surface area (desirable with a heat pump) and the frunk is now more of a tray than a deep compartment. Tradeoffs I guess, but I’m glad they still left some space to put a charge cord in there. I don’t think most people use the full frunk regularly. I see they left a drain in the frunk, so you can still have your iconic frunk shrimp party.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.
Sorry, I much prefer the ID.4 shifter to the Mach-E, my parents have an ID.4 and I've driven it a fair amount.
Evolved past stalk shifters? Most EVs use them.
Same trash software? Thanks, but no thanks.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.
