The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E debuted with significant updates, earning it high praise from Consumer Reports. In fact, the all-electric crossover landed a spot as one of the publication’s Best EVs of 2025.
In order to compile its list of Best EVs, CR tests eligible vehicles while also factoring in their overall performance, predicted reliability, owner satisfaction, and safety when granting a final score on a 100-point scale.
The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E excelled in nearly all areas, raking in 68 points, making it one of the better-performing models that CR put to the test. Slotting in second on its list (behind the Hyundai Ioniq 6), the Mach-E performed well in its road test and predicted owner satisfaction, but was only ranked average in terms of predicted reliability.
The publication praises the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E for its Mustang muscle car-inspired styling cues and also commends it for its ample cargo space and all-wheel-drive (AWD) drivetrain. It tested the extended-range battery variant with AWD and found that it could travel 299 miles in the highway test, and noted that it takes approximately 10 hours to charge the battery from empty using a home charger. During the road test, CR noted that the Mustang Mach-E is “quick and quiet, with taut and agile handling,” although the ride was “jittery and unsettled.”
Additionally, the publication indicated that while the generous 15.5-inch infotainment display screen is a selling point for some, it can be difficult to learn, and the screen itself “dominates the stark interior.” However, the available BlueCruise driver assist feature offsets some of the negative aspects of the vehicle.
The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E introduces several significant changes and updates, including a new standard heat pump, while the Premium trim gains the new Sport Appearance Package. This optional aesthetic bundle adds things like red accent stitching to the Mustang Mach-E interior, black-painted door cladding and wheel lip molding, and a set of 19-inch high gloss black wheels.
What’s more, the Mustang Mach-E will be one of the first Ford vehicles to receive the BlueCruise 1.5 update, which enables the automatic lane changes feature.
The 2025 Mustang Mach-E starts at $36,495, making it more affordable than its 2024 model year predecessor, which starts at $39,995.

I like the Mustang Mach-E but I don’t like the vertical tablet information center.
It’s just a copy of the ugly Tesla screen. Almost everybody else uses less obtrusive screens, and some are even going back to knobs, which people like.
I own a 2024 MachEx Premium and I love it. If Ford made the 2025 better, new buyers will love it too.
I’m an early adopter. Ordered my Mach-E 01/2022. Picked it up July 4th 2022 & I’m still excited to drive it every single time I get to drive it. It is a very fun car with a lot of adrenaline moments. You feel alive when you know you have that power when needed. Not to mention, the silhouette is such a beauty. I love the infotainment, spaciousness & I love the very light grey interior (many people think it’s white interior like a Tesla) it’s a light Grey & very elegant. I love the complete Panoramic & picturesque Glass roof top. Blue Cruise is a Life saver, especially on my 3,400 miles road trip.
Sales are warming up like the (cancelled) Bolt, and will increase as they lower costs and keep refining it. We need the cheaper and smaller version, too, which they introduced in Europe.
Do you mean the EV version of the Ford Fiesta?? It’s adorable in how it looks like a Mach-E but somehow smaller.
I sold my soul to have a 2024 Mach-E GT which I acquired in late August..
So it has the performance edition breaks and suspension. The article is correct in stating the ride is jittery and unsettled. Also the throttle sticks a little when using it. There is a popping feel and sound to it that doesn’t feel right but doesn’t detract from the experience. It’s a fun and fancy automobile but the dash doesn’t read the same way an EV6 or Ioniq would. Swapping between whisper, engage and unbridled modes won’t change the reading of mile range/battery percentage. Instead it holds on to a history of how you drive it and then makes an average to provide an educated guess of what miles you have available. Which will never be accurate and best to put priority on the percentage of your battery. Of course you can delete your driving history and therefore start out with high mileage, in my case 274miles, again instead of your most likely average, again in my case 240 miles.
Although I love my GT, I only slightly think I would have saved money in OEM accessory mods if I just went with a Rally because there isn’t anything that can be purchased to mod the Rally. Not yet anyway. Essentially a GT can be a Rally, but you need to unlock it through Ford app and chock up $900 to unlock code to utilize it. And then purchase the Rally wheels which is an inch less in diameter but considered performance all the same. They have a preferred tire where the GT can come with either all season (not all weather) tires or summer tires which is specific for racing and not off-roading nor any other kind of driving that would need to truly utilize AWD.
In essence, if you want an EV and also road trip. You want range over performance. Charging every 4 hours is do able but… I think I will consider a trade in when the battery can comfortably drive a solid 6 hours starting at 80% battery before charging at a charger that does at least 150 Kw/H (Mach-E’s highest intake of charge is about 150Kw/H except that my GT peaked at 169Kw/H once and only when the battery is super low. The charge slows down as you acquire charge) the 80%/6hour ratio would match a Prius in terms of how often you’d need to fuel.
Anyway, still a ways out there but no better Ford line of car to make an EV version of than a Mustang.
