Ford lifts the Mach-E with sharper looks and stronger performance
Ford Australia has revealed full pricing and technical details for the 2025 Mustang Mach-E, with the updated electric crossover landing in showrooms in October. The revised line-up starts at an MLP of AUD 65,990 (roughly USD 43,500), and brings a mix of powertrain upgrades, efficiency improvements and subtle styling changes aimed at keeping the Mach-E competitive in the fast-moving EV market.
Why the refresh matters
The Mustang Mach-E has become one of Ford's most important models globally — in the United States the electric crossover even outsold the traditional ICE Mustang coupe and convertible during Q3 2025. That commercial momentum helps explain why Ford continues to invest in the Mach-E, seeking to sharpen its appeal through better range, faster charging and improved driving dynamics.
Model range and pricing (Australia)
The 2025 Mach-E remains available in three main variants:
- RWD Select — AUD 65,990
- RWD Premium (extended range) — AUD 80,490
- AWD GT — AUD 98,490
These price points underscore a clear step-up strategy: the Select is positioned as the affordable entry point, while the Premium and GT chase buyers looking for long range or high performance.
Power, battery and real-world range
Ford has revised battery and motor options across the range. The entry-level Select comes with a 73 kWh battery and now produces 212 kW and 525 Nm of torque (about 284 hp and 387 lb-ft). The Premium and GT get larger packs — 88 kWh and 91 kWh respectively — and the GT gains a high-output dual-motor AWD system rated at 434 kW and 955 Nm (around 582 hp and 704 lb-ft).
Official driving ranges are competitive: the Select posts about 470 km, the Premium about 600 km, and the GT about 515 km (WLTP-like measures). Ford has also shortened DC fast-charge times for the Premium and GT: 10–80% at a 150 kW DC charger now takes roughly 36 minutes, down from about 45 minutes previously.
Efficiency and thermal management
One notable mechanical change is the adoption of a heat pump across the entire Mach-E range. This system improves cabin heating and cooling efficiency, helping to extend real-world range in colder or hotter climates — an increasingly important factor for buyers who monitor energy use closely.
Chassis, styling and interior tweaks
The Select and Premium gain upgraded suspension hardware — new sway bars, springs and dampers — aimed at sharper handling and improved ride composure. Exterior updates include new wheel designs, six fresh paint options, a Matte Black front trim for the Premium, and a revised grille treatment for the GT.
Inside, Ford replaces the rotary gear dial with a column-mounted monostable shifter for a cleaner center console. The base Select now gets projector beam headlamps previously reserved for higher trims, and front seats across the range offer 10-way power adjustment.
Highlights:
- Faster charging and larger battery choices for longer range
- New heat pump for better climate efficiency
- Sportier GT with a 434 kW dual-motor setup
- Suspension and styling refinements for Premium and Select
"The 2025 updates make Mach-E more compelling for a wider range of drivers," says an industry analyst. "Ford is tuning the package to balance everyday usability with the kind of performance buyers expect from a Mustang-branded EV."
Market positioning
In Australia the Mach-E is priced above some mainstream EV rivals, but its combination of range, technology and the Mustang badge helps justify premium trims. The GT competes with high-performance electric crossovers, while the Premium targets buyers who want maximum range for long commutes or road trips.
Whether you're shopping for efficiency, tech or outright performance, the 2025 Mustang Mach-E update sharpens the offer and keeps Ford competitive in the rapidly evolving electric SUV segment.
