The 2024 Ford Mustang is right around the corner, a muscle car that will likely harness an almost absurd amount of power thanks to its formidable V8 engine. The next-gen Mustang could very well be the last Blue Oval product to feature an internal combustion engine as the automaker pivots toward a future of all-electric vehicles. There are rumblings that an electric Mustang could be on the way too. It could be argued that the Mustang Mach-E fills this slot in The Blue Oval’s lineup, but it is a crossover and not a “true” muscle car or coupe. With that in mind, Ford Authority undertook the challenge of rendering a hypothetical Ford Mustang Mach-E sedan to get an idea of what one could look like.
This isn’t the first time we’ve rendered an imaginary Mustang sedan, but this time, we took cues from the existing Mustang Mach-E. The “grille” is borrowed from the Mustang Mach-E, but narrowed to give it a meaner, more aggressive look. We’ve given it a leaner profile for a more aerodynamic design, and its ride height is much lower. Both of these elements could potentially improve driving range from a full charge, resulting in less drag and therefore less power needed to get our Ford Mustang Mach-E sedan moving.
Out back, we’ve given our Ford Mustang Mach-E sedan a fastback-like rear end, incorporating the iconic Mustang taillights into the rear fascia. The addition of a true sedan-like trunk instead of a liftgate gives this hypothetical sedan an overall sportier look, and keeps it in line with what enthusiasts expect of the Mustang nameplate.
A potential Ford Mustang Mach-E sedan isn’t too far-fetched, as it turns out. After all, The Blue Oval’s pivot toward a lineup comprised exclusively of battery-electric vehicles is focused on iconic nameplates such as the Mustang. With that in mind, it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibilities that Ford would see reason to keep the Mustang in the lineup as a sporty four-door EV sedan.
We’ll have more on the Mach-E soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for more Mustang Mach-E news and ongoing Ford news coverage.

Even though I prefer sedans, I don’t like this. I’m not gonna pay extra for a hot rod.
A Mach-e sedan I would consider. An SUV or a crossover, never.
Make this a true Tesla Model 3 competitor with performance and a hatchback for utility and this will be a market success!
I think the latest round of legislation has killed any EV sedan that isn’t low-end. Everyone is going to be building SUVs to chase the federal subsidies.
The auto industry has gotten so weird lately. But at least it’s not yet another CUV, I guess.
I would actually prefer this over the Mach E suv. All the Japanese and Korean munufacturers can build sedsns that sell. A joke that Ford can’t.
Please Stop!!!!!
Compounding the felony
I wish the Ford EV designers could focus more on building affordable spacious sedan or station wagon similar to the Ford Fusion (even the first generation Ford Taurus was great design success). With the Federal tax incentives this could boost consumer desire to switch from ICE to EV.
I wouldn’t be put off by crossovers so much if they had a long wheelbase and weren’t a foot or 2 off the ground. Many of those appear top heavy. Either cars have to be so high that you need a step stool or they are so low that they may as well be go carts.
I think I vomited in my mouth a little!!
Oh my God!!!
Please NO!!
Wouldn’t it be easier to fit the Zephyr China body to this platform? The front clip would need to be modified somewhat but it could make the car look better.
Well see they can’t do that because that would make way too much sense. FORD has no idea about that.
I grew up in a Ford family. My first car was a Foxbody Mustang coupe that I owned for over twenty years. It just seems that Ford is recycling model names and destroying all of their heritage and history. Coming soon….Ford EV Ranchero four door with a four foot pickup bed. Wait…I’d better not give them any ideas.
