Best for
EV buyers wanting a quick, distinctive compact SUV; Premium RWD with the available extended-range battery is the range-focused choice, while GT and Rally suit performance-minded shoppers.
At a glance
- Starting price: $37,795 MSRP for the Select, before destination, taxes, registration, dealer fees, and options.
- Body style: Five-passenger all-electric SUV
- Powertrain: Battery-electric. Select/Premium use a rear e-motor (RWD) or available dual e-motor eAWD, with a 73-kWh usable standard-range battery or available 88-kWh usable extended-range battery. GT/Rally use dual e-motor eAWD and a 91-kWh usable extended-range battery.
- Output: 264 hp (standard-range RWD), 272 hp (extended-range RWD), 325 hp (standard-range eAWD), 370 hp (extended-range eAWD), or 480 hp (GT/Rally); output varies by trim, battery, and drivetrain.
- Fuel economy or range: Ford quotes 240–320 miles EPA-estimated range, depending on configuration; 320 miles applies to Premium RWD with the available extended-range battery. EPA records list 84–110 combined MPGe across 2026 configurations (Rally 84, GT 90, AWD 100, AWD Extended 104, RWD 107, RWD Extended 110). Actual range varies with conditions.
- Seating: 5 passengers.

Why it stands out
- Broad performance spread, from 264-hp RWD models to 480-hp GT and Rally variants.
- Premium RWD extended-range configuration delivers Ford’s highest quoted EPA-estimated range: 320 miles.
- Useful cargo layout: 29.7 cu. ft. behind the rear seat, up to 59.7 cu. ft. with seats folded, plus a front trunk.
- GT and Rally add substantive performance hardware; Rally has rallycross-tuned MagneRide damping and an aluminum front underbody protective shield.
- Ford lists 8-year/100,000-mile battery coverage, subject to limited-warranty terms.
What to consider
- The 320-mile headline range is configuration-specific; Ford quotes 240–320 miles across the lineup, and GT/Rally are quoted at 280/255 miles respectively.
- EPA efficiency is lower for performance models: 90 combined MPGe for GT and 84 for Rally versus 110 for RWD Extended.
- RWD is available only on Select/Premium; GT and Rally are eAWD-only and start substantially above Select.
- Check the specific VIN for recalls before purchase; NHTSA’s 2026 record lists campaigns affecting certain Mach-E vehicles.
