Mustang Mach-E is faster and more torquey for 2024


Ford has updated the Mustang Mach-E for 2024. The all-electric crossover is faster in GT trim, and the entire lineup can go further than before on a single charge, with the automaker developing a new rear motor that produces more torque while weighing less. Standard for 2024, it delivers an additional 100 pound-feet of twist when equipped with Ford’s new Performance Upgrade software.

The eMotor, combined with the new code, helps propel the 2024 Mach-E GT to 60 miles per hour in 3.3 seconds, which Ford says is faster than the Tesla Model Y Performance and new Porsche Macan 4 Electric. Ford also claims the GT can cover a quarter mile in 11.8 seconds at 114 mph thanks to its 700 pound-feet of available torque.

The upgrade is standard on the new Rally trim and optional on the GT for an extra $995. Customers can purchase the upgrade when they buy the vehicle or pay for it later, improving its 0-60 time by 0.3 seconds compared to non-upgraded GT models.

The Blue Oval also standardized several popular features on the GT version for 2024. It now comes with Ford Performance front seats, Brembo-branded front brake calipers and the MagneRide damping system, which were previously only available on the 2023 GT Performance Edition, which is no longer available for 2024. The California Route 1 version has also been discontinued for this year.

The new model year also brings improved range figures for the range. The Mach-E Select can now travel up to 250 miles on a single charge, 20 more than before. Ford rates the Premium version with the Extended Range battery and rear-wheel drive to go 320 miles, while the GT can go 280, an improvement of 20 and 10 miles, respectively. The Rallye has a range of 265 miles.

Trim 2024 price (with destination, $1,895) 2023 price (with destination, $1,800)
Select $41,890 $41,695
Prime $45,890 $44,695
GT $55,890 $54,195
Rally $61,890 N / A

Improved range numbers for the range coincide with faster charge times. Mach-Es with the Extended Battery Range charge nearly 20 percent faster, going from 10 to 80 percent in 36.2 minutes, or 8.8 minutes faster than before. The Standard Range pack also charges 5.7 minutes faster, going from 10 to 80 percent in 32.3 minutes.

Ford offers the 2024 Mach-E in four trims: Select, Premium, GT and Rally. Select and Premium are available in both rear- and all-wheel drive configurations, while GT and Rally are only available with all-wheel drive. Both also come with the extended battery life. The Premium is available with both the standard and extended range batteries, while Ford limits the entry-level Select to the standard pack only.

The 2024 Mustang Mach-E is available to order now. The Select starts at $41,890 (all prices include $1,895 destination charge). Stepping up to the Mach-E Premium with the SR battery and RWD costs $45,890. The GT costs $55,890, while the Rallye sits at the top with a starting price of $61,890. Ford is offering a new Bronze package for 2024 that costs $1,995, which undercuts the Performance Upgrade software by $200.
