The Ford Mustang Mach-E update for the 2025 model year arrives here next year with a new look and extra kit. The update should dot down by Q2 of 2025.
There’s the new ‘Sport Appearance Package’ that mimics the look and feel of the GT model, but is available on lesser Mach-E variants. Spot the MY2025 Mach-E by its new grille and fascia, black-painted door cladding and 19-inch wheels. Some versions come with red Brembo brake callipers, depending on region. Inside, 2025 Mustang Mach-Es fitted with the Sport pack get contrasting red stitching and sportier pedals.
Ford says it is also offering three new colours on 2025 cars – Molten Magenta Metallic (some version of red), Velocity Blue Metallic, and Desert Sand (grey-white). There are also three new wheel options.
Ventilated front seats become standard on higher level models. And a column-mounted gear shifter replaces the rotary dial on the centre console, freeing up space.
There’s also a standard-fit heat pump for improved range and efficiency during cooler months.
Upgrades to the firm’s BlueCruise system -BlueCruise 1.5 – allow the Mustang Mach-E to perform automated lane changes where possible.

Ford says that BlueCruise 1.5 will attempt to change lanes if the vehicle ahead is slower than the set speed, or if a vehicle is following too closely. It helps navigate in heavy traffic.
Ford says that on a typical trip, BlueCruise 1.5 can automate up to 45 per cent of lane changes. BlueCruise is an OTA update, with a 90-day free trial. Alternatively, the owner can pay a fixed fee for a year, or purchase it outright, at least in the US.
Prices for the updated Mach-E will be revealed closer to launch time.
