2022 Ford Mustang Mach E Overview New Features Trim Levels Pricing More

---

The 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E is entering its second year of production as an excellent all-rounder in the burgeoning and competitive EV category. The Mustang Mach-E is not the fastest, most powerful, nor has it the highest available range. It’s certainly not the most affordable either, as the Tesla Model 3 and VW ID.4 have lower MSRPs than a base Mustang Mach-E.
What’s more, purists may have issues with the Mustang name, and it’s the first time in over five decades that Ford expanded the Mustang family to include a slightly high-riding crossover. You can call it a marketing stunt, but the Mustang Mach-E remains an excellent choice whether you want a new EV or are looking to get your feet wet in the electrified genre.
2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E: What’s New?The Ford Mustang Mach-E was unveiled in late 2019 and is still a relatively new model. However, Ford has increased the usable battery capacity for both the Standard Range and Extended Range batteries. Initially available with either a 68 kWh and 88 kWh battery, all 2022 Mach-E models now have a 70.0 kWh (Standard) or 91.0 kWh (Extended) battery.
Of course, more battery capacity means more usable range, but the EPA has yet to determine the 2022 Mach-E’s estimated range, so we’ll be sticking to the initial EPA figures for now (detailed more below). Other changes include a new AWD option for the California Route 1 trim, more standard features, new paint colors, and an Ice White Edition for the Premium trim.

Mustang Mach-E SelectThe base Mach-E Select is available only with the 70.0kWh Standard Range battery in either RWD or e-AWD. The RWD version has 266 horsepower, 317 lb-ft. of torque, and 230 miles of range. The e-AWD model has 266 horsepower, 428 lb-ft. of torque, and 211 miles of range.
Standard features for the Mach-E Select include LED headlights with automatic high beams, body-color side mirrors, 18-inch wheels, wireless smartphone charging, a 15.5-inch infotainment touchscreen (with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity), and a six-speaker audio system, among many others.
All trim versions of the Mustang Mach-E come standard with Ford Co-Pilot360 driving aids like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane centering, frontal collision mitigation, and rear parking sensors.
Mustang Mach-E PremiumThe Mustang Mach-E Premium is available in RWD or e-AWD with the Standard Range battery, good for 230 miles and 211 miles of range, respectively, with similar power figures as the base model. However, you can also get RWD with the Extended Range battery, which gives you 290 horsepower, 317 lb-ft. of torque, and 300 miles of range. You can also get an e-AWD model with the Extended Range battery, good for 346 horsepower, 428 lb-ft. of torque, and 270 miles of range.

In that configuration, it has 290 horsepower, 317 lb-ft. of torque, and 305 miles of usable range. For 2022, you can now get a Mach-E California Route 1 with e-AWD, although the specs remain forthcoming as of this writing.
The Mustang Mach-E California Route 1 has black wheels, a panoramic glass roof, automated parking, driver-seat memory settings, surround-view camera, and Ford’s Blue Cruise autonomous driving feature.
Mustang Mach-E First EditionThe Mustang Mach-E First Edition will arrive in limited numbers, but all will receive the Extended Range battery pack with e-AWD. In this configuration, you have 346 horsepower, 428 lb-ft. of torque, and 270 miles of range. The First Edition has similar equipment as the Premium trim, but it does get unique touches like painted brake calipers, fancy interior stitching, and bespoke First Edition scuff plates.
Mustang Mach-E GT & GT Performance EditionThe Mustang Mach-E GT is available with an Extended Range battery and e-AWD with 480 horsepower, 600 lb-ft. of torque, and 270 miles of range.

Standard equipment for the Mach-E GT includes 20-inch wheels wrapped in performance tires, a sport-tuned suspension, blacked-out front grille, body-color fenders, and sport front seats with thicker bolsters and microfiber accents. The GT Performance Edition rides on bespoke 20-inch wheels with an adaptive suspension.
