2025 Mustang Mach-E: Choosing the Perfect Trim for Your Needs
Ford’s knack for being innovative and accommodating of new technologies cannot be better captured than in its 2025 auto lineup, which is everything you’d ever wish for in a modern vehicle. The company is highly committed to realizing carbon neutrality by 2050, so we should expect a significant shift from conventional gas-fuelled cars to more EVs in the upcoming years.
2024 was great for EV lovers, especially those who rever in speed and they were best served by the extensive range of Ford autos, outstanding among them being the Mustang Mach E. Although all of Ford’s cars are exceptional, the Mustang has always been in a league of its own ever since it made a grand debut in 1964, immediately taking the prime position as the epitome of American muscle cars. Ford has never stopped ever since, as year after year, the automaker has been improving the Mustang, incorporating the ever-morphing technologies into the vehicle, and this has been key to cutting a niche for the model as the most successful muscle car of all time.
In 2025, Mach E lovers are in for more treats with improved DC charging, better software, and more driver assist features as it looks to keep electric compact SUV competition, such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Volkswagen's ID.4, and the Chevrolet Equinox EV at bay. So if you’re a speed enthusiast looking to own your first Mustang or already own one and are wondering what the new year promises, this guide is here. We’ll tackle what other improvements you should expect from Ford in 2025 but most importantly, look in detail at the Mach E trim levels available to you in the new year.Ready? Let’s drive into the Ford fray right away.
Ford 2025 EV Lineup
Let’s start with the Mustang Mach E, which is returning with a host of new features that include: l An improved driving range, assuring you the convenience and dependability that you’d get with a typical gas car.
- Recharging the Mustang will also be a breeze thanks to its enhanced DC fast charging feature.
- Also, expect improved responsiveness of your Mach E’s infotainment system, ensuring you’re always entertained while driving.
- To ice it all, there should be better driver assist features as the Ford also looks to be outstanding in the autonomous vehicle shift expected in the upcoming years.
If you’re a truck lover, the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning should come in handy, especially owing to impressive improvements similar to those highlighted above for the Mustang. The highlight of 2025 will be the improved range and towing, which is particularly important for a work truck as it also guarantees dependability.

2025 Ford HEV and PHEV
Another 2025 highlight is the Ford Bronco and Ford Ranger, which come with a hybrid option (HEV), thus limiting your reliance on gas. We should also expect further remodeling in renowned 2024 Ford Hybrid models to include either a fully Hybrid or Plugin Hybrid feature such as in:
- Maverick XLT 2.5L Hybrid FWD
- Escape Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) 2.5L iVCT FWD
- F-150 Lariat 3.5L PowerBoost Hybrid 4x4
- Escape Platinum 2.5L Hybrid FWD
With the Ford hybrid cars, you’re guaranteed of extended range as the feature ensures the vehicle can switch between the electric motor and the gas engine both depending on the terrain. The second option is plug-in Hybrids (PHEVs), which are basically equipped with a rechargeable battery. Like full EVs, you can conveniently plug them into a charging booth and replenish their charge.
2025 Ford Mustang Surprises
The all-new 2025 Expedition, 2025 Bronco Sport, and a first-ever Mustang GTD are set to be unveiled in the new year. This new GTD stands for Grand Touring Daytona, meaning this is a speed car suited to the immensely demanding Daytona terrain and thus ideal for endurance races such as the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship.
This new 2025 Mustang GTD is so phenomenal that it can hit a top speed of 202 mph, enabled by its supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine that delivers up to 815hp. Moreover, it features semi-active suspension coupled with a hydraulic control that aids in employing the track mode during racing. This allows you to lower the car to 40 mm and lift it to your desired height during regular drives.
Available Ford Mustang Mach-E Trims in 2025
You’ll be spoilt for choice as you look for the best Ford Mustang Mach E trim in the new year, as there’s quite a bunch, each model with its respective share of features. What’s common in all the trims is their fast charging capability, and they also sport a mobile home charging unit that allows the addition of around 80% overnight charging on a 240-volt outlet.
Let’s look at each of them below in detail.
Ford Mustang Mach E Select
It's the base trim, but don’t get it wrong; despite being the lowest car in the Ford electric compact SUV ranks, it’s still an incredible 5-seater car with many new features. For instance, like other Mach Es, this trim comes with a new type of heat pump to improve comfort for those living in cold climates. There’s also an increase in the number of available colors; you can now get a Mach E Select in Desert Sand, Molten Magenta Metallic, and Molten Magenta Metallic, in addition to those already existing in 2024.
How about the pricing? This is arguably the best time to own a Mach E select because the prices of all the models are at an all-time low. For only $38,490, you can own this incredible model that can clock 60 mph from zero while on the Extended Range Battery and eAWD. There are two powering options available: the 72.0-kWh Standard Range battery and the 91.0-kWh Extended Range pack.
With the latter battery pack, you’re guaranteed up to 300 Miles on a full charge, which is remarkably impressive for a 266hp engine. The Select also has an AWD mode, making it an all-weather vehicle capable of comfortably navigating any terrain.
Other outstanding features include:
l It has an incredibly large 15.5-inch touchscreen, which allows for easy access to all infotainment features found in most base cars.
l An extensive array of safety features that include effective blind spot monitoring and a lane-keeping assist, ensuring that it's near fully autonomous.
l It also comes with quality ActiveX™ upholstery material that can withstand extensive use without wearing out.
Ford Mach E Premium
Your guess is as good as mine on what to expect with this trim; from its name, there’s no doubt that the Premium is a deluxe version of the Select trim with improved features aimed at harnessing driving comfort. In 2025 you can go for the Sport Appearance package of this model, which is designed to resemble the superior GT model. Also, expect an improvement in the infotainment features, such as the inclusion of a 5G-powered Wi-Fi hotspot that allows access to a wider array of applications than with the previous editions.
No doubt that these improved features will come at a price higher than with the Select trim as the Premium retails from $41,990, although in truth, this is quite a bargain for a car that can hit 320 miles driving range on the extended range battery when driving on RWD mode and 290 on the AWD while giving you up to 346hp of powertrain. Again, being an electric compact SUV, this car seats five passengers and, without a doubt, strikes the best balance between performance and other properties. Among the improved features over the Select include:
l Heated steering wheel, a luxury which is also extended to the front seats, key in keeping the passengers warm and comfortable in cold weather.
l An audio system by Bang & Olufsen featuring a subwoofer and 10 speakers strategically placed in the vehicle to keep you entertained while driving. For context, Select comes with six speakers, and thus, its sound quality isn’t as profound as that of the Premium.
l You’re also assured of receiving ambient light from above thanks to its Panoramic fixed-glass roof, which is also key in creating a warm interior environment.

Ford Mustang Mach E California Route
This is a special edition of the Mach E that comes with California Route 1 badging, but its cardinal selling point is its excellent balance between range and efficiency, especially during long-distance drives.
Parking this vehicle is a breeze thanks to its power folding mirrors, while the 10.2-inch digital cluster screen ensures you cannot get anything wrong on the dashboard while driving. Notably, this edition features all the properties of the aforementioned trims, although its one primary unique feature is that it comes standard on AWD. Also notable is its extended-range battery that allows driving up to 312 miles, a great distance for the trim that also sports 290 horsepower.
Being a deluxe trim, it’s pretty pricey, costing north of $57,995, but it's just worth all its hype and price tag.
Ford Mustang Mach E GT
Talk of a Mach E made for Speed, and you’d be just describing the GT trim, which is unique for its distinctive GT badging and styling. But this vehicle is more than just looks, and you can easily tell this from its engine power rating of 480hp, which is arguably the highest among the Mach E trims that we’ve covered so far.
Also incredible are its high-performance tires designed to provide maximum traction when driving at top speeds. It comes with the eAWD as the standard, and with its extended-range battery, you can cover around 270 miles, which is a fair distance considering its immense engine and speed. To cream it all, this car also features high-performance brakes, which are much required, especially since it’s built for high speeds. If you’re probably wondering how fast this car can get, it can accelerate from zero to 60mph at a swifter rate than the highly rated V–8–powered Mustang Dark Horse.
So, it's pretty important to have an excellently performing braking system and wide wheels for improved balance, especially when navigating bends. The GT and the GT Performance Trim cost $54,490 and $55,485, respectively. Notably, the latter model is the premium version of the GT, and therefore, it gives more speed and power.
How to Choose the Best 2025 Mustang Mach E Trim?
Now we’re on to the most challenging part. How do you decide which of the above trims best fits you? Well, it isn’t as hard as you may think because your choice should be guided by the key features of the respective models, their upsides, and disadvantages.
For instance, you'd choose the Select trim if you’re looking for a base entry-level car with a perfect balance between price, range, and performance. However, this may not be the best option for off-road drives, where the Premium trim would perform better thanks to its improved features that guarantee comfort. If you want a vehicle for long-distance driving, you should opt for the California Route 1. However, you should be wary of its relatively lower acceleration than high-speed models such as the GT and the GT Performance.
Those looking for a sporty car appeal would do good with the GT and the GT Performance, although these don’t give the best driving range. So, in a nutshell, it's all about striking a balance between which of the trims meets all your needs at the center while also shelving the features you don’t rate so highly.
Regarding charging, the low-level trims, such as the Select and Premium, are faster than the rest when using the smaller 72kWh Standard Range battery. On the other hand, with the 91kWh Extended Range Battery present in the superior trims, such as the California Route 1 and Gt, charging may take slightly longer. However, the difference in charging time between the trims is close to insignificant, especially when using the DC fast charging option.
2025 Mustang Mach E Trim Recommendations
We’ll refer you to the above part for an elaborate explanation of how to choose the car that best meets your needs. But in a nutshell, if you’re on a low budget, the base trim will be the best option, and the price will rise as the range of features increases. If you’re a speed enthusiast, the GT and GT Performance should be your go-to models while for extensive range coverage, we recommend the California Route 1.
Finally, for the most balanced Mach E in regards to all the features we’ve covered, choose the Premium trim, and you’ll be impressed at the incredible finesses of the Mach E Mustang line. 2025 can never be dull with this car, and it’s time you get one and enjoy the beauty and class that comes with owning a muscle car.
