2025 Mustang Mach-E Powertrain Breakdown: Battery, Drivetrain, and Range Explained

Understanding the Real Differences in Power, Range, and Purpose.

The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E lineup brings electric performance into four distinct trims — each built for a different type of driver. Whether you’re after maximum range, refined comfort, or sports-car acceleration, every version of the Mach-E balances power and practicality in a unique way.

This guide breaks down each trim using the same structure: motor setup, battery, power, range, features, and overall feel — with a quick summary at the end of each.

Mustang Mach-E Select

The Select trim is the foundation of the lineup and now offers more flexibility than ever. It comes standard with Ford’s 73 kWh Standard Range battery using LFP chemistry, which supports frequent charging and long-term durability. Buyers can choose between a single-motor rear-wheel drive (RWD) or a dual-motor all-wheel drive (eAWD) configuration.

  • Power Output: 266 horsepower in both versions

  • Torque: 317 lb-ft (RWD), 428 lb-ft (eAWD)

  • Range:

    • 260 miles (RWD, Standard Range)

    • 240 miles (eAWD, Standard Range)

    • 300 miles (eAWD, Extended Range upgrade)

The Select still delivers a solid driving experience. RWD offers smooth, quiet acceleration ideal for city driving, while eAWD adds punch and confidence in slick or uneven conditions. Inside, you'll get SYNC 4A with a 15.5-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Ford Co-Pilot360, and Phone As A Key.

Summary:
The Select is the most accessible way to step into the Mustang Mach-E. With strong torque, flexible drivetrain options, and solid range, it’s perfect for drivers who want an electric daily driver that feels sharp, modern, and fast — without going overboard on cost or complexity.

Mustang Mach-E Premium

The Premium trim builds on everything the Select offers but adds more refinement, range, and comfort. You can pair either battery — Standard or Extended Range — with either drivetrain, offering real flexibility in how the vehicle performs.

With the Extended Range battery, RWD models make 290 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque, while eAWD versions deliver 346 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque. You’ll also get the longest EPA-estimated range in the entire lineup:

  • Up to 320 miles (RWD, Extended Range)

  • 300 miles (eAWD, Extended Range)

What makes Premium stand out is the driving experience. It accelerates more smoothly at highway speeds, especially in RWD, and remains confident under load with AWD. Inside, the cabin steps up with ambient lighting, power-adjustable front seats, and an upgraded B&O® 10-speaker sound system.

Key upgrades in Premium include:

  • Hands-free power liftgate

  • Heated front seats and steering wheel

  • Optional panoramic fixed-glass roof

  • Enhanced interior trim and materials

Summary:
Premium is for buyers who want more than a basic EV. It’s the most balanced trim in the lineup — offering extended range, real-world comfort, and a premium interior feel — all without losing the quickness that defines a Mustang.

Mustang Mach-E GT

The GT trim transforms the Mach-E into a true performance machine. It comes standard with the Extended Range battery and dual-motor eAWD, but Ford tunes the motors to deliver far more output than in other trims.

  • Power: 480 horsepower

  • Torque: 600 lb-ft standard, or 700 lb-ft with the Performance Upgrade

  • 0–60 MPH: 3.8 seconds (standard), 3.4 seconds (Performance Upgrade)

  • EPA Range: 280 miles

Unlike the other trims, the GT is firm, aggressive, and tuned for driver feedback. You’ll feel it in every corner and launch. Ford also includes MagneRide® adaptive suspension, sportier seats with more support, larger wheels, and unique styling to match its aggressive tone.

Additional GT features:

  • Unique front fascia and grille

  • GT-specific sport seats and interior accents

  • High-performance tires and brakes

  • Optional Performance Upgrade for maximum torque

Summary:
The GT is for performance-focused drivers who want sports-car acceleration in an all-electric package. It sacrifices a bit of range in favor of aggressive torque, sharper handling, and a more connected driving experience.

Mustang Mach-E Rally

New for 2025, the Rally trim is unlike anything else in the Mustang family. It’s built on the GT platform with the same dual-motor eAWD and Extended Range battery but tuned specifically for soft-road driving and rugged traction.

You get the GT’s full power output — 480 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque — and the same lightning-quick 0–60 time of 3.4 seconds. However, Ford raises the ride height, fits all-terrain tires, adds underbody shielding, and equips the chassis with unique suspension tuning made for gravel, dirt, and bad-weather roads.

  • Range: 265 miles

  • Power: Same as GT Performance — 480 hp / 700 lb-ft

  • Capability: Skid plates, tuned dampers, rally-style wheels, higher ground clearance

Visually, the Rally gets a rear spoiler, black cladding, and rally-inspired accents. It doesn’t lose the interior tech either — still packed with Ford’s top-tier infotainment and driver aids.

Summary:
The Rally is for drivers who want everything the GT offers but with trail-ready utility and road-trip durability. It’s the only Mach-E built to leave the pavement — without sacrificing torque or Mustang attitude.

Final Thoughts

The 2025 Mustang Mach-E lineup is more diverse than ever — and more specialized. Select gets you in with speed and efficiency. Premium stretches your range and adds comfort. GT delivers shocking acceleration, and Rally gives you the freedom to take all that power into tougher terrain.
