Previously, a 88 kWh battery was offered as an optional upgrade for the 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E, with extended-range versions starting at $45,345. For 2027, it now comes as standard in the Select and Premium variants of the Mustang Mach E, while the performance-focused GT and Rally retain a larger 91 kWh pack. The smaller battery previously offered in the range has been discontinued. Ford estimates that rear-wheel-drive versions equipped with the 88 kWh battery can travel up to 320 miles (515 km) on a single charge under the EPA test cycle, although official range figures for 2027 models are yet to be confirmed.
Where prices are concerned, the entry-level ‘Select’ RWD model starts at $39,995, with the eAWD version costing slightly more at $42,995. The Premium RWD starts at $42,995; the eAWD at $45,995. At the higher-end, the Mach-E GT starts from $50,995 and the Rally at $55,290; both feature eAWD and the larger 91 kWh battery.
One notable new addition to this year’s Mach-E lineup is the ‘Trail’ variant, which is based on the Select all-wheel-drive version and costs $2,295 than it. It features revised suspension with an increased ride height of 10mm at the front and 15mm at the rear. It also includes changes to the steering rack, 19-inch wheels and Michelin CrossClimate 2 tyres taken from the Mach-E Rally. A 400 W onboard power system with outlets in the cabin and boot is also included, allowing users to power smaller electrical devices.
In a statement, Ford’s Teddy Ankeny said of the Mach-E Trail: “We created Mustang Mach-E Trail in response to customers who wanted an electric vehicle that could support an active lifestyle and provide added confidence on the gravel and dirt roads leading to their favourite places. Mustang Mach-E Trail combines the everyday electric performance and usability customers have come to expect and love from Mustang Mach-E with purpose-designed hardware for the road to the trailhead, campsite, or water.”
Customer deliveries of the 2027 Mach-E range are expected to begin in Q1 of 2027. The whole range will also receive standard connectivity and security packages, while Ford’s BlueCruise ‘hands-free’ driving system remains standard on the GT and Rally or optional on selected lower trims.
The latest updates build on a series of changes Ford has made to the Mach-E since its launch. In 2022, the manufacturer improved the eSUV’s high state-of-charge DC charging curve and increasing the towing capacity of extended-range versions. A more substantial update followed for the 2024 model year.
