What’s It Really Like to Drive the 2025 Mustang Mach-E?

The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E marks Ford’s bold contribution to the electric SUV market, pairing the classic Mustang spirit with cutting-edge electric tech. This battery-powered crossover packs a punch while giving Brewster, New York, drivers the everyday practicality they need. On local roads or highway stretches, you’ll find the Mustang Mach-E delivers a ride that’s both exciting and surprisingly smooth, making it a smart pick for anyone ready to go electric.

What’s New in the 2025 Model

The 2025 model year brings some cool upgrades that make the Mustang Mach-E electric vehicle (EV) even better for Brewster drivers. BlueCruise hands-free highway driving now comes factory-installed with automatic lane change. This tech takes highway driving to a new level, letting you relax more on those Interstate 84 commutes. The system will change lanes for you when appropriate, making long drives less tiring and more enjoyable.

For those who want sporty looks without the full GT price tag, the new Sport Appearance Package for Premium models adds GT-inspired styling elements for a more aggressive look. You also get three fresh exterior colors for the lineup — Molten Magenta Metallic, Velocity Blue Metallic, and Desert Sand — plus three new wheel designs.

And don’t overlook that new standard heat pump for cabin warming, perfect for our New York winters. It keeps the cabin toasty while using less battery power, which means better range when the mercury drops.

EV Motor, Power, and Performance

Electric motors pack serious power, with the Mustang Mach-E ranging from 264 hp to 480 hp. The rear-wheel-drive (RWD) setup delivers 264 hp and 387 lb-ft of torque —plenty for daily Brewster commutes. Electric all-wheel drive (AWD) gets you 325 to 370 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque for maximum performance.

GT models hit 480 hp and 600 lb-ft of torque, with the Performance Upgrade bumping torque up to 700 lb-ft. This crossover SUV gets impressive 0-to-60 mph sprint times: the GT with the Performance Upgrade at 3.7 seconds and the Rally at 3.3 seconds. No matter the model, instant electric torque makes I-684 merging effortless.

Range and Charging Options

The Mustang Mach-E range options provide for every driving need:

• RWD standard range: 260 miles
• RWD extended range: 320 miles
• AWD standard range: 240 miles
• AWD extended range: 300 miles
• GT: 280 miles
• Rally Edition: 265 miles

At up to 110 MPGe efficiency, you’ll spend less on “fuel” than your gas-powered neighbors. Charging works with many common networks throughout the country, and Ford’s BlueOval Charge Network claims to be the largest public charging network in North America. DC fast charging hits 80% in 30-60 minutes, and home Level 2 charging (240V) takes around 11-14 hours. Charge times vary by battery pack and charging level, so contact our knowledgeable team to get the details on specific models.

Interior Design, Comfort, and Cargo Space

The Mustang Mach-E’s cabin puts comfort first. The interior trim only comes in Black Onyx for 2025, but you can upgrade from cloth to ActiveX or perforated ActiveX. The available heated seats and steering wheel take the bite out of Brewster winters, while ventilated front seats provide summer relief. The panoramic glass roof brings in more natural light, making the cabin feel bigger. Customizable mood lighting lets you set the vibe, while the auto-dimming mirror cuts down on glare.

At 185.6 inches long, 74.1 inches wide, and 63.9 inches tall with a 117.5-inch wheelbase, the Mustang Mach-E remains practical for downtown parking while giving you enough room inside. You get 101.1 cubic feet of passenger space that accommodates up to five people, plus about 30 cubic feet of cargo space (59.7 cubic feet with the rear seats down). You also get the bonus of the front trunk, which serves as a convenient space to store charging cables.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The tech inside the Mustang Mach-E makes driving more fun. Everything revolves around a massive 15.5-inch touch screen running SYNC 4A, and your phone connects wirelessly, whether you’re an iPhone or Android user. Just say “OK Ford” and voice commands kick in, letting you control music, navigation, or climate, and the system stays current with over-the-air updates.

The onboard Wi-Fi hotspot connects up to 10 devices at once, while wireless phone charging pads mean no more dead batteries when you arrive at your destination. For a premium audio experience, standard SiriusXM provides you with endless tunes, and the optional Bang & Olufsen sound system transforms your daily commute into a rolling concert hall.

Safety and Driver-Assistance Features

The 2025 Mustang Mach-E earned the prestigious 2025 Insurance Institute of Highway Safety Top Safety Pick+ Award. Only 36 new vehicles received this honor. It scored top marks in all crash tests, headlight performance, and crash prevention tech, plus an acceptable rating for child seat latch accessibility.

Ford’s Co-Pilot360 2.0 includes blind-spot monitoring, precollision assist, front and rear parking sensors, and a rearview camera. The adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and active park assist provide you with even more driving support. Optional features include a 360-degree camera, BlueCruise hands-free highway driving, and AdvanceTrac stability control.

Trim Levels and Pricing Details

Ford offers several 2025 Mustang Mach-E versions to match different budgets. The Select starts at $27,995 with a Standard Range 72 kWh battery, good for 260 miles and 264 hp. The Premium at $41,995 offers Standard or Extended Range batteries, with up to 300 miles of range and up to 370 hp.

Competitor Comparison

Against the Tesla Model Y, the Mustang Mach-E offers key advantages for local drivers. Its $27,995 starting price is a big advantage over the $37,490 for the Model Y. Tesla has a slight range edge (277-337 miles versus 250-320 miles), but the Mustang Mach-E offers more power options, from 264 hp to 480 hp. Both EVs have similar charging times.
