2025 Models - Disappointing Choice for UK

[Edge2MME]

the how many site makes interesting reading https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/browse/ford/ford_ford_mustang_mach-e 13.7k Mach-e in total registrations up to 2024 with around 4k new reg for the past couple of years. GT around 670 total registrations upto 2024 averaging around 200 a year for the past couple of years.
No data yet on the euro Explorer and Capri. Interestingly, comparing the Kia EV6 for example, it is more or less similar at 16k registrations the EV6 GT around the same as the Mach-e GT

And have they?

Hi Spacey
So yesterday had a conversation with Perrys in Aylesbury. I asked them as they have one of the new updated 2025s in showroom. its a Rwd premium with selector stalk instead of wheel change. He confirmed that it seems ford are ditching to uk the AWD and possibly GT So all uk is getting is the Select and premium RWD'S nothing else. this is due to poor sales and most going for the RWD as they are cheaper.
This leaves me in not a good position as we was after the updated premium in AWD.

Yeah, Ford decided we weren’t worthy of that feature either. To be fair, it was a bit fiddly, and not used much. But instead of improving it, ford was like I am at golf, and just gave up and walked away.

It turns out that now that I have taken possession of my my2025 Select, the feature isn't there. Despite other Dutch owners claiming they do have it. Maybe it is not included with every trim...

Well that's me out I'm afraid. I was looking to replace with an AWD Premium. With Ford I think it's a perfect storm of endless recalls for shoddy build quality/design/software and overpriced cars. (For the UK market at any rate). The 2025 RWD costs more than I paid for my AWD extended range in September 2021. Perhaps AWD drive versions will become more desirable on the used market?

Looks like I will be looking for other brands next year. This car ticked so many boxes for me.

Spacey I have just sent you a Dm

As confirmed by my dealer this is all we have for the 2025 models in the UK. https://www.ford.co.uk/content/dam/guxeu/uk/documents/price-list/cars/PL-Mustang_Mach-E.pdf

The AWD flag will be taken up with the other electric models. No GT, Rally or standard range models. There's still some stock of 2025/2024 models on the Mach E page. I think it will be a slow death for the Mach E in the UK which is probably Ford's idea. Ford - "There's no demand..." Well, there won't be if you don't import the cars.

The price of the single motor extended range with Tech Pack+ is more than I paid for my 2021 AWD extended range in 2021. Prices should be coming down surely. (Don't call me Shirley) I can't get comfortable in the Explorer or Capri seats as they give me backache when sitting in them even for 5 minutes. Looks like the Xpeng G6 will be calling next year. (I've already sat in the 2024 model at a local motor show and the fit and finish of the interior/exterior was impressive and all for £39,990 starting price and no back ache).

Sorry dudes, I can only report for my circumstances.

I see they have now added a AWD to the list but at 65k yikes https://www.ford.co.uk/content/dam/guxeu/uk/documents/price-list/cars/PL-Mustang_Mach-E.pdf

This is why I've ordered something else for £12,000 cheaper and it's all wheel drive. My car's parting shot is the bubbling under the repainted rear door seam has re-appeared and the tailgate collects water again which streams out where the interior handle is when opened. It's been repaired twice before under warranty with a new tailgate light cluster and re-sealing of the new light cluster. No word from the bodyshop whether Ford will cover the bubbling repaint. I've finally had enough especially as now out of warranty. This car was going to be a keeper until age finally crept up on me. No more Ford cars for me ever again.

That’s a shame. I had the same feeling with my 21 first edition was going to keep it. Replaced with 25(24 build) AWD premium just before the new tax came in from April. Did not have those issues with either. The 25(24) is all round improved motors and under the hood updates, plus the most annoying speed limit assist 3 dings. One thing that got me was the carelessness of the dealership. They received the car, and had it with all the factory stickers on when i first looked at it, then delivered with the back window scratched to get the stickers off. It was super akward at delivery when i notice those scratches, and down played the scratch, which the manager refused to fix, but car was delivered with carelessness, and the 21 FE had those scratches as well but on both back windows. This dealership also did a poor job on the ceramic coating and the car still had glue from the stickers on delivery. Again they refused to refund as I did not want to pay for schooling to do a proper job. This is probably my last ford, hoping my next car, I can avoid the all the careless humans in the loop, definitely dont want to go near a dealership.

It's a shame when the dealership lets you down. In my experience the dealership hasn't let me down very often, it's been the factory build quality (or lack of). Oh and the charging port cover is now playing up again taking multiple presses to open so using again a piece of thick card to ram in between the flap and the bodywork to move the cover over to left by 1mm so it will open. The dealer wanted to charge over £150 just to look at it. I said no thanks...
