What’s New for the 2027 Ford Mustang Mach-E
The Mach-E crossover SUV was launched for the 2021 model year and hasn’t been redesigned since. While it still looks pretty much the same on the outside for 2027, it gets some updates that should keep it attractive to EV shoppers, including a larger standard battery pack and a new Trail Package.
Design
The Mach-E earns its Mustang name in part through styling inspired by the legendary muscle car, including a broad grille, thin headlights, and segmented taillights. This is still a crossover SUV, but the body shape has been narrowed and streamlined to further sell the Mach-E as a Mustang and minimize aerodynamic drag. Hidden door handles help with that, too. Select, Premium, GT, and Rally trim levels return for 2027. The GT and Rally models are designed for more spirited driving on pavement and dirt, respectively. Each has unique wheel-and-tire options and graphics packages, including classic racing stripes for the GT and white alloy wheels for the Rally that scream special stage. GT suspension is lowered 0.4 inches front and back, while the Rally’s suspension is raised 0.4 inches up front and 0.7 inches at the back. For 2027, a new Trail Package brings some of the styling features of the Rally to the Select all-wheel-drive (AWD) trim level. It wears similar 19-inch wheels in high-gloss Dark Carbonized Gray with Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires. Its suspension is also lifted (0.4 inches front, 0.6 inches back) with specially tuned struts and springs.
Powertrain
The 73-kWh battery pack that was standard on Select and Premium models is no more, making the previously optional 88-kWh Extended Range pack standard. GT and Rally models continue with a 91-kWh pack. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard on the Select and Premium trim levels. AWD is optional on the Select and Premium, and standard on the GT and Rally. Ford did not have full specs available at the time of writing, but output should be unchanged. That means 272 horsepower and 387 pound-feet of torque for the single-motor rear-wheel drive Select and Premium models and 370 hp and 500 lb-ft with dual-motor AWD. Ford is implementing a new front motor it claims is cheaper to produce but that retains the performance of the previous unit. We expect the GT and Rally models to continue with 480 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque, the latter unlocked through a software upgrade on GT models. Ford previously estimated 0–60 mph times of 3.3 seconds for the GT and 3.4 seconds for the Rally on its dirt-oriented tires. A special drive mode also allows the Rally to get a little sideways on loose surfaces for added fun. EPA range ratings should be similar to the 2026 model, meaning 320 miles for Select and Premium models with RWD, 300 miles for trims with AWD, and less than 300 miles for the GT and Rally models despite their larger battery packs.
Interior
Inside, the Mach-E seems to take its inspiration from Tesla rather than gasoline Mustang models. The interior is mostly devoid of interesting details except for a prominent portrait-oriented touchscreen, along with a smaller digital instrument cluster. Both stand proud of the dashboard in an attempt to make technology the main attraction. Programmable ambient lighting adds a bit more character, while the standard ActiveX upholstery should be easy to clean. The Mach-E has less front headroom than many similar-sized EVs, but second-row headroom is more competitive. That’s quite an achievement considering the low roofline that gives it a sporty appearance. Legroom is generous, with more available in the first row than key rivals, and more second-row legroom than all but the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and the Kia EV6. At 29.7 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 59.7 cubic feet behind the front seats, the Mach-E also offers more cargo space than many other EVs with a similar footprint. A 2.6-cubic-foot front trunk (frunk) is also built into the car, but Ford started locking access to it behind a paywall for the 2026 model year. It’s unclear if that will also be the case for 2027.
Technology
A 15.5-inch touchscreen and 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster are standard. The Mach-E is expected to continue with the older Sync 4A infotainment system for 2027, rather than the Ford Digital Experience system available in some of the automaker’s other models. But that still means customers get wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, as well as a straightforward interface. The Ford Connectivity Package includes a Wi-Fi hotspot, YouTube streaming (when parked), connected navigation, and Amazon Alexa connectivity. The Ford Security Package includes theft alerts, remote vehicle immobilization, and stolen vehicle tracking. Both come standard for one year, with subscriptions and one-time purchase options available after that. The Pro Power Onboard system is standard with the Trail Package and optional on Premium, GT, and Rally models. It provides up to 400 watts of 120-volt power through outlets located in the cargo area and the rear of the center console to power electronics.
