This preview of the 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E electric car will be updated when features, prices, and specs become final.
The name is borrowed from the legendary Ford pony car, but the Mustang Mach-E’s gallop comes courtesy of a unique EV platform. It competes with electric crossovers like Chevy’s Bolt EV and EUV, Tesla’s Model Y, Volvo’s XC40 Recharge, and VW’s ID.4.
Yes, the Mustang Mach-E is a good car. It offers sharp styling, competitive electric range, enjoyable driving dynamics, and a comfortable and spacious cabin. These factors added up to a strong TCC Rating of 8.5 out of a possible 10 points for 2023. We’ll update the score once its specs have been made final. (Read more abouthow we rate cars.)
Ford swaps in lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells in the standard range models with AWD, boosting power and range for 2024.
The Mustang Mach-E Premium Extended Range with all-wheel drive gained about 13 miles of range, for a total of 290 miles. For 2023, the Mach-E also got the Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assist package standard, and Select trims now include a 90-day trial of Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free highway driving system and the surround-view camera system.
Ford also added the Nite Pony styling package, which is offered on the Premium Extended Range and the GT Performance Edition for $800. It adds gloss black 19-inch alloys and black exterior trim to the Premium model, while the GT Performance Edition gets gloss black 20-inchers and a black GT badge. A panoramic glass roof replaced the black painted roof on the GT and GT Performance Edition, and the California Route 1 now features all-wheel drive.
The styling and driving dynamics of the Mustang Mach-E are both inspired by the gas Mustang. The Mustang’s sports car design cues show up across the exterior lines, with the effect of a more sporty and upscale look than rival crossovers.
The high-tech cabin looks like it’s out of a Tesla, as a result of the center-mounted vertical 15.5-inch touchscreen. Rather than a traditional instrument display, there’s a short, flat, 10.2-inch digital panel.
The EV platform was purpose-built to preserve cabin space, resulting in good legroom and headroom as well as generous cargo space. The design also enhances handling, with a low center of gravity paired with thoughtfully tuned suspension that results in a firm ride without being harsh.
Depending on the configuration, the Mustang Mach-E is offered with two battery packs, Standard Range with 70 kwh and Extended Range with 91 kwh, for range between 211 and 305 miles. The Mach-E is available with two powertrains, single-motor with rear-wheel-drive and dual-motor with all-wheel drive.
For 2024, AWD models get a boost of 45 hp to 311 hp with the standard-range pack due to the use of LFP batteries. The motors with the extended-range pack make 346 hp or 480 hp in GT models. It’s quick in either case, with 0-60 mph times between a fast 6.1 seconds and an even faster 3.5 seconds. The range gets a modest increase as well, with Ford targeting EPA ratings of 250 miles for standard range rear-wheel-drive models, and 226 miles for all-wheel drive.
The 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E lineup includes Select, Premium, California Route 1, and GT models. The Base Select configuration gets a Standard Range Battery, the Premium model is available with both batteries, and Extended Range comes with the California Route 1 and GT.
