2027 Ford Mustang Mach-E Gains Standard Long-Range Battery, Starts Under $40,000
Ford drops the standard-range battery option and introduces a new Trail trim with specialized suspension for $2,295.
Ford has opened orders for the 2027 Mustang Mach-E, eliminating the standard-range battery option and making the extended-range pack standard across the lineup. The base Select RWD model now starts at $39,995, undercutting the previous year’s extended-range entry point.
What Happened
The 2027 model year lineup consists of five trims: Select, Premium, GT, Rally, and a new purpose-built Trail model. Ford has discontinued the standard-range battery previously offered in the 2026 model. Instead, the Select and Premium trims now use the 88 kWh extended-range battery as standard. The higher-performance GT and Rally variants utilize a 91 kWh battery.
The new Trail model is available as a $2,295 package upgrade for the Select eAWD. It features fine-tuned front and rear struts and springs, a steering rack from the Rally trim, and specific 10-inch High Gloss Dark Carbonized Gray wheels. The Trail sits 10 mm taller in the front and 15 mm taller in the rear compared to the base Mach-E. It also includes standard 400W, 12V Pro Power Onboard, a feature now available as an upgrade on the Premium, GT, and Rally trims.
Why It Matters
By removing the lower-capacity battery option and introducing a new secondary front motor that delivers similar performance at a lower cost, Ford has lowered the entry price for the extended-range Mach-E. In the 2026 model year, the extended-range battery started at $45,345. For 2027, the base Select RWD with the 88 kWh battery starts at $39,995, or $42,040 including the $2,045 destination fee.
Range estimates for the 2027 lineup indicate the 88 kWh battery provides up to 320 miles in RWD configurations and 300 miles in eAWD models. The 91 kWh battery in the GT offers 280 miles of range, while the Rally provides 255 miles. Ford states the final EPA-estimated range for the new Trail model will be announced closer to its launch, which is expected in the first quarter of 2027.
The Bottom Line
The 2027 Ford Mustang Mach-E is now available to order with a standard long-range battery across all trims, starting at $39,995 for the Select RWD. The lineup includes a new Trail variant designed for off-road capability, while BlueCruise 1.5 comes standard on GT and Rally models and remains optional on other trims.
