2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E

The Mustang Mach-E loses standard equipment for 2026. The frunk (or front trunk) is now optional on all trim levels, while the wireless phone charger, surround-view parking camera, and reverse brake assist are no longer standard on the Select and Premium levels. The GT's MagneRide suspension is also now part of a package, and the Rally's raised spoiler becomes an option, too. A few things have been added, though, including a new California Special design package (shown above) and grabber handles under the rear door release buttons.

Otherwise, the Mach-E gallops into another model year as an electric SUV with distinctive looks, a functional interior, and impressive technology. It also provides a choice of standard and long-range battery packs in its core Select and Premium trim levels, which can save you thousands if you're not taking the Mach-E on bladder-busting road trips. If you do, however, the Mach-E offers Ford's BlueCruise hands-free highway-driving assist and the ability to recharge its battery at Tesla Superchargers.

2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E Trim Levels

The Ford Mustang Mach-E is a two-row electric SUV that comes in Select, Premium, GT, and Rally trim levels.

The Select and Premium trims are available with a choice of drivetrain and battery size, which alter their performance and range. With the standard-range battery, they produce 264 horsepower with rear-wheel drive (RWD) and 325 horsepower with the dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. The extended-range battery increases performance to 272 horsepower with RWD (unavailable with Select trim) and 370 horsepower with AWD. Torque is always 387 pound-feet with RWD and 500 lb-ft with AWD.

The GT gets an even bigger battery and its own dual-motor AWD powertrain. It produces 480 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque, though the optional performance upgrade increases the latter to 700 lb-ft. The Rally only comes with the 700-lb-ft version, along with the same 480 horsepower.

The highlights of each trim level's standard features are as follows:

Select

The Select trim comes with 19-inch wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, a power-adjustable driver's seat, simulated-leather upholstery, a 10.2-inch digital instrumentation panel, a 15.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The Select's optional Comfort package adds heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, a memory function for the driver's settings, and power-folding mirrors.

Premium

The Premium steps it up by including the Select's Comfort package and adding a black-painted grille, multicolor ambient lighting, a power-adjustable front-passenger seat, perforated simulated-leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, and a 10-speaker B&O sound system. The optional Technology Package, which adds a variety of driver-assistance features to both the Select and Premium trims, also includes a power liftgate and wireless phone charger in the Premium.

Besides its performance upgrade, the GT gets 20-inch wheels, Brembo-branded front brakes, front sport seats, upgraded upholstery, and much of the content from the Comfort and Technology packages. The optional GT Performance & Handling package increases torque output, adds MagneRide adaptive dampers, and swaps in different 20-inch wheels. There's also the available California Special package, which adds a variety of package-specific color and design flourishes.

Rally

This trim level builds upon the GT with a variety of performance and design changes intended for the car's rally-style off-roading mission. This includes special 19-inch wheels and Michelin tires, underbody shielding, a rallycross-inspired version of the MagneRide suspension, trim-specific exterior design elements, and a RallySport drive mode.

The load floor height adjusts and there is integrated storage underneath. The optional front trunk (frunk) has a 2.6-cu-ft compartment.
