Back in late 2022, a report surfaced indicting that the Ford Mustang Mach-E was slated to receive its very first redesign in 2026. In production since 2020 for the 2021 model year, this timeline somewhat made sense, and that same report also indicated that a coupe version of the EV crossover would be joining the lineup at that time, too. However, a new report now claims that the Ford Mustang Mach-E redesign will take place a bit later than expected.
This report comes to us from Automotive News, which notes that the Ford Mustang Mach-E is now slated to undergo a comprehensive makeover in 2027 – one that includes not only a redesign in terms of exterior styling and features, but also, the addition of a new platform as well. The same report claims that the Mach-E lineup will continue to expand to include new “derivatives and special editions,” though it will continue to be built at the Cuautitlan Assembly plant in Mexico.
While the Ford Mustang Mach-E hasn’t yet been redesigned since its launch for the 2021 model year, the model did get some noteworthy updates for 2024. Those include the deletion of the Nite Pony Package and GT Performance Edition, and the addition of the MagneRide suspension as standard equipment for the GT. The Premium trim no longer comes with the Panoramic Fixed-Glass Roof as standard, since that feature is now an option. The EV crossover also received bronze wheels and other features in that finish via the new Bronze Appearance Package, and gained the new Rally trim, while losing the California Route 1 model. All of these updates were accompanied by price increases in some cases, too.
On top of all that, the 2024 Mach-E lineup received new e-motors that were developed in-house by Ford that are lighter than the outgoing Bosch units. While the GT Performance Edition is gone, GT owners can get the new Performance Upgrade – included as standard equipment in the Rally – which adds a whopping 100 pound-feet of torque, taking that figure up to 700 and enabling the Mach-E GT to rocket from 0-60 in 3.3 seconds and complete the quarter-mile in 11.8 seconds at 114 mph. Battery improvements also boosted DC fast charging times across the lineup by 20 percent and added 10 miles of range for the GT, or 20 miles for other trims.
And Bathurst is the place to do it.
A way to prevent theft or unwanted use.
With Ryan Blaney and Austin Cindric on top.
Led by F-150 range and bolstered by Maverick again.
A nice complement to Ford's array of carbon fiber goodies.
And it's owned by a former Ford engineer.

I hope the vertical "tablet" display is replaced with a horizontal version and integrated into the dashboard. This "tablet" is the only feature that prevents me from buying a Mach-E since its first arrival.
I agree on the screen style. I think when the Mach-E was being developed, they were just imitating Telsa at that point and trying to make it look like the EV most people were familiar with.
“ indicting”. I think you meant “indicating”
Why on earth would they redesign this total failure of a product?
This is what I would do with this product.
Make it way bigger, and boxier. Call it the Flex. Make a 2 row version with a decent cargo space, and a Flex XL that is a stretched version with a larger battery. Give it a normal car interior. Don't try to make it fast, try to make it easy tondrove (limit off the line torque to make it feel more like an ICE vehicle). Price it starting in the low 40s for the XL and mid 30s for the regular.
At least this way when it flops you can blame it on being a Flex.
Its the most popular EV that isn't a Tesla.
You may not like it, but I don't think its fair to call it a failure. Only reason I haven't gotten one (or any EV) is no at-home charging in my apartment building.
This car is not a failure and suffers from
Market conditions. It’s a phenomenal vehicle and Ford knocked it out of the park. The technology has advanced and Fors needs to keep up with improvements in charging and range.
People keep missing that Ford made an effort to build an EV with at least some of the feel of a muscle car, and to this point nobody else has tried to compete with it. I guess you might term it a "crossover", but it's pretty low (lower roof height than a CR-V or even an Escape). I think it's the sportiest EV out there short of a Macan or an E-Tron GT, at least until the EV Charger hits the market.
I have a 2023 lease of the GT. We do not plan on getting any EV with less than a 500 mile range in 2026-27. 10 mile range increase is a useless advance. Of all the things they chose not to focus on, that is the biggest oversight. There will be a few, if not a lot of 500 mile range cars by 2026.
Genuinely curious, why do you need that much range?
My Focus RS has only ~200 miles of range in the city and ~300 miles of range on the highway. I've never once thought about it until now.
They did not give any information about the range of the 2027 Mach E improvements; so you have no clue what the range improvement will or will not be.
You're confusing the 2024 updates with the 2027 makeover plan. Given how rapidly battery tech is advancing there's an excellent chance we'll see a 500+ mile Mach-E in '27.
Well the Ford Mustang Mach-E has been the very best-selling EV in the US among the new players almost since the very start. Amazing in 2021-2022 selling well above MSRP of course. Was every quarter of 2023 and still is at the top. Makes sense you would want to keep that going.
