The 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E lineup has been updated for the new year, with power output and driving range increases for the GT headlining the changes – accompanied by a subtle styling refresh for all variants of the mid-size electric SUV.
Prices have increased by $1000 for the entry-level Mach-E Select – now starting from $65,990 before on-road costs – while the Mach-E Premium and range-topping Mach-E GT have gone up by $500 each, to $80,490 and $98,490 before on-road costs respectively.
The rear-wheel drive Select has received an additional 14kW of power and 95Nm of torque, increasing outputs to 212kW and 525Nm – while driving range remains unchanged at 470km (WLTP), thanks to a 73kWh battery.
The Mach-E Premium also continues with rear-wheel drive, though the variant now gets the same 212kW/525Nm electric motor as the Select. Driving range also unchanged at 600km, with the Premium powered by an 88kWh battery.

The biggest changes are at the pointy end of the Mustang Mach-E’s lineup, with the GT getting a performance boost to 434kW and 955Nm – up from 358kW/860Nm – while driving range has also increased from 490km to 515km, despite keeping the same 91kWh battery.
This is likely due to the addition of a new heat pump, designed to maintain the car’s battery pack at an optimal level, as well as helping to keep the cabin at comfortable temperatures in a more efficient way.
Ford hasn’t announced sprint times for the updated Mustang Mach-E GT, but expect an improvement over the outgoing model’s claimed 0-100km/h time of 3.7 seconds.
Suspension has been upgraded for the Mach-E Select and Premium, thanks to revised sway bars, springs, and shock absorbers.
The Mustang Mach-E has also received a minor facelift, with the Select now getting the same headlights as Premium and GT variants, while all grades benefit from new alloy wheel designs.
The mid-spec Premium gets colour-coding changes to its exterior, with matte black bumper cladding all around, and wheel-arches now matching the car’s body colour (from gloss black).
Buyers looking to get into a Mach-E GT will also notice a new front grille on the range-topping SUV.
Inside is arguably where the greatest changes have happened, with Ford swapping the rotary gear dial for a new shifter on the steering column – increasing storage options in the centre console – while the whole range now gets 10-way power-adjustable seats in the front row.
There are eight exterior paint colours to choose from, with all but black and while being new. Paint options include Velocity Blue, Molten Magenta, Glacier Grey, Grabber Yellow, Terrain (off-white), and Eruption Green – all available for an additional $700.
The 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E range is available to order now, ahead of first customer deliveries by the end of this month.
