2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E: Higher-Output Rear Motor, Faster Charging, $41,890 Starting Price

It’s a big year for the Ford Mustang Mach-E, as the electric SUV gains a new off-road-oriented Rally trim, a sharp bronze color scheme and a more powerful rear motor across the line. With Ford engaged in a volatile price war with Tesla and its own sales targets, prices fluctuated several times in 2023, but the 2024 model year is starting out only slightly higher than last year, at $41,890 (all prices include destination).

Upgraded Motor and 0-60 MPH

All 2024 Mach-Es get a new rear motor that’s lighter and delivers more torque than the 2023 unit, generating 264 horsepower and 387 pounds-feet with the standard battery; that’s a 2-hp drop from 2023, but an increase of 70 pounds-feet of torque. With all-wheel drive and the extended-range battery, the 2024 Mach-E generates 365 hp and 500 pounds-feet of torque, increases of 19 and 72, respectively. The GT’s output, at 480 hp and 600 pounds-feet, is unchanged.

While the GT’s output is unchanged in standard form, a new Performance Upgrade, standard on the Rally trim and available on the GT, bumps torque up another 100 pounds-feet, to 700. Ford says this makes for the quickest Mach-E ever. Capable of sprinting from 0-60 mph in just 3.3 seconds, it improves on last year’s GT Performance Edition by 0.2 seconds. The motor is unchanged; the upgrade modifies the electric motors’ thermal-management programming to enable the higher output. Mach-E GT buyers who don’t opt for the upgrade at purchase but acclimate to their car’s power can opt to enable the upgrade at a later date.

Faster Charging

Ford also modified the electric SUV’s battery controls to allow for faster charging. The standard battery pack can now charge from 10% to 80% in 32.3 minutes, 5.7 minutes quicker than before, with the extended-range battery needing 36.2 minutes, an improvement of 8.8 minutes.

GT Shuffle

The GT Performance Edition, which included various performance upgrades as well as a slight boost in torque, is no more. But the available Performance Upgrade features a larger increase in torque output, and other Performance Edition equipment has been made standard across the GT line. That includes MagneRide adaptive dampers, Brembo front brake calipers and front sport seats.

Infotainment Upgrades

Software changes in the cabin also seek to improve the Mach-E experience without any hardware modifications. The menu structure and graphics on the 15.5-inch touchscreen have been updated in response to customer feedback. As before, Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free highway driving is standard across the line, although buyers must pay a subscription fee to keep the service active after the 90-day free trial expires.
