What’s New: For the 2025 model year, the midsize Mach-E crossover is literally a carryover model.
Why:
All-electric
A stylish Mustang-ish design
A variety of driving ranges
480-horsepower (test model)
280-mile driving range (test model)
A sportier version of the base Mach
Fast charging available
Hands-free steering
Heated/Ventilated front seats
A variety of trims
A brake hold system
A one-pedal driving system
Extra cargo space with the Frunk (the replacement of the traditional hood)
But:
The power-packed Mach-e GT has less horsepower than some of its Korean competitors from Kia and Hyundai
No power sunroof
Front cabin is not as spacious as other comparable electric vehicles
Verdict:
Since its arrival in 2021, the Mach-E has become one of top five best-selling electric cars in America. Ford's sporty midsize crossover is available in variety of trims, ranges and the like.
While the Mach-E is virtually a carryover model for the 2025 model year, we were fortunate to get our hands on Ford's version on a performance-oriented, hands-free GT trim powered by dual motors. The sporty crossover produces an eye-popping 480-horsepower. The high-tech Mach-E GT trim is the fastest midsize electric vehicle crossover manufactured by Ford.
In addition to the extra performance, the Mach-E GT offered 20-inch black rims, a sport-tuned suspension system and a more than respectable driving range nearing 280 miles when fully charged.
Conversely, while the popular Mach-E GT horsepower is nearing 500-horsepower, two of its midsize electric crossovers Korean competitors have outmatched the all-electric 'Pony.' The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and Kia EV6 GT have supercharged their motors leading them to crank out 575 and 641-horsepower, respectively. And with this additional horsepower from the Koreans, one can expect a higher MSRP and less driving range than that being offered by the Mach-E GT trim.
So, for those seeking more range, hands-free steering and a lower price point than the Korean makes, the Mach-E GT could be the best alternative.
Competition: 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and 2022 Kia EV6 GT
