Which Mustang Mach-E is the best fit for you?
The Ford Mustang Mach-E was built to be as powerful as a gas-powered Mustang. Ford cleverly electrified one of its most notable nameplates to bring Mustang loyalists into the future while bringing something completely new to the market for other consumers. But will every trim satisfy a Mustang enthusiast’s need for speed?
The Ford Mustang Mach-E is available in four different trims: the Select, California Route 1, Premium, and GT. The Select trim starts at $42,895. It goes an estimated 230 miles on a single charge. The Mach-E Select can go 0-60 miles per hour in 5.2 seconds.

The Ford Mustang Mach-E California Route 1 trim starts at $50,400. It is estimated to go a whopping 305 miles on a single charge. The Mach-E California Route 1 goes 0-60 miles per hour in 6.1 seconds. The California Route 1 trim is a great long-range option, but there are still Mach-E’s with even more pep.
The Premium trim is where things really start to get interesting. The Premium trim can go 300 miles on a single charge. It can go 0-60 miles in just 4.8 seconds. The Premium trim starts at $47,600. Tax incentives could bring this price down to under $41,000, making it a great option for original Mustang enthusiasts.
The GT is the Mustang Mach-E’s final trim level. The GT starts at $59,900 but can be under $53,000 after federal and local tax incentives. The Mach-E GT only gets 270 miles of range per single charge. It can go 0-60 miles per hour in just 3.8 seconds. This GT is faster than the gas-powered 2021 Ford Mustang.
