2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Ditches MyKey

The Blue Oval is taking more of a continuous improvement approach to its EVs, including the Ford Mustang Mach-E, giving them a variety of updates with each passing year rather than executing a more thorough mid-cycle refresh or redesign. This has been the case with the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E thus far, which builds upon what the EV crossover received for the 2024 model year with a host of updates – some of which stem from the requests of customers. However, the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E is also losing at least one feature – MyKey – for the new year.

According to sources familiar with the matter, the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E is ditching the MyKey feature, which was included as standard equipment across the lineup for the 2024 model year. MyKey gives owners the ability to configure one or more of their vehicle keys to control various safety settings, – including things like maximum speed, radio volume limit, or seatbelt alerts –  which are good ways to keep a teenage driver safe or reinforce better driving habits for family members. The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E isn’t the first Blue Oval model to ditch the MyKey feature, as the Ford Escape did the same as part of its 2023 model year refresh.

In addition to this change, the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E is losing its windshield wiper de-icer, but is also adding a new standard heat pump, which helps optimize energy consumption – particularly in colder weather conditions – and results in less range loss in that regard. Additionally, the Premium trim is gaining the new Sport Appearance Package, which adds select Mach-E GT styling cues such as its front fascia, grille shield, and red-painted Brembo front brake calipers, plus black-painted door cladding and wheel lips, and a set of 19-inch monochromatic high-gloss black-painted wheels.

All 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E crossovers are ditching the old center-mounted dial shifter as well, replacing it with a column shifter that frees up some console space. As Ford Authority previously reported, the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E will be the first to get the new BlueCruise 1.5 update, which is adding an Automatic Lane Change feature, though it hasn’t yet revealed a timeline for that rollout. As for exterior color updates, the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E is getting three new options – Molten Magenta Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, Velocity Blue Metallic, and Desert Sand – along with a Dark Carbonized Gray wheel option for the Mach-E Rally.

Brett's lost track of all the Fords he's owned over the years and how much he's spent modifying them, but his current money pits include an S550 Mustang and 13th gen F-150.

  1. The feature is simple software… costs nothing… and is a benefit later in the vehicle’s life when it’s passed down to a child or grandchild. Ford continues to fail to understand its products and customers.
