- Ford opens orders for the 2027 Mustang Mach-E, now standardizing the 88 kWh extended-range battery and eliminating the previous standard-range option.
- Ford sets the base 2027 Mustang Mach-E Select RWD price at $39,995 ($42,040 with destination), making the long-range battery accessible at a lower entry point than in 2026.
- Ford introduces the 2027 Mustang Mach-E Trail as a new variant, available as a $2,295 package on the Select eAWD with off-road-tuned suspension and increased ground clearance.
- Ford equips the GT and Rally trims with a larger 91 kWh battery, delivering 280 miles and 255 miles of range respectively, while RWD models with the 88 kWh battery reach up to 320 miles.
- Ford makes BlueCruise 1.5 standard on GT and Rally trims and optional on others, but requires Trail model hardware to be selected at ordering—no retrofits allowed.
- Ford includes the Ford Connectivity and Security Packages as standard across all 2027 Mach-E trims, enhancing baseline tech and safety features.
Why it matters: By standardizing the long-range battery under $40,000, Ford makes extended EV range more accessible, while the Trail model targets outdoor enthusiasts with off-pavement upgrades—shifting value without raising the entry price significantly. This repositioning undercuts rivals on range-to-price while locking in key features at order time, affecting buyer flexibility.
