2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Ditches Windshield Wiper De-Icer

The Ford Mustang Mach-E has received a bevy of changes with each passing model year, most intended to either improve the EV crossover or make it more affordable and/or more efficient and powerful. That’s also the case with the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E, which just debuted a couple of weeks ago with a host of notable updates, ranging from minor to major. However, the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E is also losing one notable feature that was standard across the 2024 model year lineup, too.

According to sources familiar with the matter, that feature is the windshield wiper de-icer, which is designed to prevent the vehicle’s wipers from freezing to the windshield, a common problem in winter, particularly in areas where temperatures routinely drop below freezing. This keeps the driver from having to manually pull the frozen wipers off the windshield so they can be operable. However, we’ve seen this feature disappear from a host of Blue Oval models over the past few model years, so this deletion isn’t exactly surprisingly.

In fact, the 2021 Ford Super Duty and Lincoln Nautilus ditched the windshield wiper de-icer years ago, and that list has grown to include the 2024 Ford Maverick and 2024 Ford Bronco Sport since, among various other models. On the bright side, the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E is 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.
