The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Gets Cheaper And Better Than Ever (insideevs.com)

The Ford Mustang Mach-E can't afford to rest on its laurels. Sure, it's still the second best-selling electric SUV after the Tesla Model Y, and Ford says more than half of Mach-E customers are new to the brand. But it's still been around since late 2020 now and new competition is showing up all of the time.

To keep that momentum going, Ford has refreshed the electric 'stang for 2025 with some key updates inside and out—and most importantly, a lower starting price. The 2025 Mach-E now starts at $36,495 (excluding destination), a $3,500 drop compared to the current model.

The biggest update comes in the form of a heat pump, which will be standard on all 2025 trims. A heat pump improves heating and cooling efficiency, pulling warmth from outside air (even in the cold) to heat the cabin or battery and removing heat to cool the car when it gets toasty outside. This reduces battery drain and helps preserve range, especially in extreme temperatures. Heat pumps were added to the F-150 Lightning last year, so it's great to see them on the Mach-E as well.

An SUV is still not a Mustang, the name is dumb and should be changed. Call it a Moosetang or something else, because if you tell someone the words "electric Mustang" they will picture an electric sportscar unless they have already seen the Moose

I expect it pisses off Mustang drivers, and that kind of makes me smile. But Mitsubishi calling that blob an Eclipse makes me sad.
