The Ford Mustang Mach-E has undergone a price reduction of $1,000 – $3,000 (dependent on trim)
-
No changes seen for the GT variant
Ford’s Mustang Mach-E, the latest vehicle looking to enter the EV landscape has already undergone some significant changes. Prior to the vehicle even hitting the road, the company has already decided to reduce its price. Surprisingly, this is not the first spontaneous change made to the new electric vehicle. Earlier this year the company upped its performance specs just a tad bit.
The new pricing is as followed:
- $3,000 MSRP reduction on all Premium models
- $2,000 MSRP reduction on the CA Route 1 model
- $1,000 MSRP reduction on all Select and First Edition models

The addition of the $7,500 federal tax credit reduces the price even further and more in line with other competing vehicles.
Price changes for the electric Mustang Mach-E can be seen live on their configurator. If you’ve already placed an order at the previously higher price, no worries. Ford has instructed their dealers to honor the new price reduction throughout all customer. Those waiting on a vehicle should be contacted via email or phone prior to finalizing their order. Or skip that process entirely and finalize your Mach-E order through Ford’s new online exclusive program.
The question behind this price change has gone unanswered. Without the cars on the lots, there’s no data that showed a required change needed to sustain sales. Instead, it looks like another attempt to inch closer to their largest competitor, Tesla. With Ford’s dealer network significantly holding them back, the company will need all the help it can find.
The electric Ford Mustang Mach-E looks to start production in October with deliveries beginning shortly after in December. Could this electric crossover be the one that to shine amongst the rest?
