Differences between a '25 and a '26

[OWG]

Alibaba should never be used for a technical resource!
Also we found the Mach-E with the Ford logo on the Frille!

edit- Found this on the same page! Sorry Grasshopper, nothing personal.

Delta's between the US and China Models? Ali is Chinese....

Or it could just be trippin AI.

Outside of the Good Looks of the MME; in 2026, I'm struggling to see the value of a 2026 MME......I saw the California Special (and damn it is a pretty car!!) is going to run $65K

The BMW iX3 is going to start in low $60K.....

Performance & Powertrain

• • Motor: Dual-motor AWD.
  • Horsepower: 463 hp.
  • Torque: 476 lb-ft (645 Nm).
  • 0-60 mph: ~4.7 seconds.
  • Top Speed: 130 mph. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Battery & Charging

• • Battery Capacity: 108.7 kWh usable (115 kWh nominal, NMC cylindrical cells).
  • Range: Up to 400 miles EPA estimated (456–500 miles WLTP).
  • Max DC Charging: Up to 400 kW.
  • Charge Time: 10% to 80% in about 21 minutes on a high-speed DC charger.
  • AC Charging: 11 kW standard, with 22 kW optional.
  • Bi-directional Charging: Supports V2L, V2H, and V2G. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

***400 mile range and 10-80% in 21 minutes!?!?......I mean unless your just a die-hard Ford or Mustang guy.....the competition is going to be hard to ignore.....

And if you don't want an "import" as we would say back in the day.....Rivian R2 has 330-345 miles/charge and I believe there 10-80% is under 30 min......

I'm hanging on to see what Ford has with this little truck but it does not seem like the original MME buyers are there intended target audience.....

you're
their

Yes, Rivians charge in the 220kW range, and still with 400v system. Mach-E is slower than the Lightning too...

Rivian R2 battery is the same 88kWh, yet it gets higher miles per kWh than the Mach-E per ABRP, which I find amazing given the shape.

Looking at GT's sitting on the Lot in NE - Reason to value a '26 over a '25?

I just traded my 2021 Premium for a 2025 GT at Grappone Ford (in Concord, NH). No 2026s available but got great discounts on the 2025. They had 5 GTs on the lot (now 4 are left) and they are not moving very fast. BTW I just love my GT.

If you can get a good deal on a 25, I would go for it, as the differences do not seem that substantial. I picked up a slightly used 2025 Premium AWD with 3500 miles on it in February for $37,500 - the 26's were all priced at 50K or higher. I think I got a good deal and have no regrets.

Yep, those 1 year leases on 2025s are still coming in. Prices have crept up because of Tr*mp's war, but still a great deal. Mine was 11 months old (in March) with 6,000 miles.

Ford is pushing a lot of cash to move them - I saw 14K in rebates and dealer concession.

I faced the same choice last month and went with a '25 GT because the dealer (and Ford) was eager to move them. Good discounts and eager to sell.

I bought a '25 GT in late May because I specifically wanted the bronze package, which was discontinued for '26. That said, I would've done the same thing even if the bronze package were available on '26 cars because the differences are minimal (and mostly decontenting for '26) but the discounts, rebates, and financing terms on '25s were amazing.

When we were looking at MMEs for my wife, the dealer we went to had 2 bronze package 2026s. I can't remember if they were GT or not, did they get rid of them for the GT?

Are you positive they were 2026 model year cars and not leftover 2025's? Did it say so on the window sticker? Because all of the information I have seen - including the official Ford spec sheet shared by Mach-Lee in post #28 of this thread - says that the bronze package was deleted for 2026.

I'm not sure, but I think the bronze package was ONLY available for GTs - because it mainly only changes the color of GT parts: the "grille" and the 20" wheels. Maybe you could also get it on the Premium if it had the Sports Appearance Package as well? On a non-GT, non-sports appearance car, the only thing it would change is the color of the side and rear badging.

I've slept since then, not sure I can be 100% positive of the year of them LOL But I do seem to remember when we were looking at their site it didn't have any 2025 listed as available, although I will be the first person to say that my memory is suspect sometimes. They definitely were not GTs, as the only GT that lot had was the PE that my wife had her eye on initially. They were definitely Premiums.

Looking back at the dealer she got it from, they have a 2026 GT on lot now that has the bronze:

Never mind, that's 2024. Guess I can't read LOL Of course, the ones we saw there that had it were green, and I don't remember seeing this one at all. Must have been on a different spot on the lot.

The window sticker says it's a 2024, as does the listing itself

I caught it after I hit post (and edited it to mention as much).

Ford's original press release for the bronze package in 2024 said it was available exclusively on the GT, and I don't think they changed that for 2025.
