Beyond the already disclosed Rally flagship grade and Bronze Appearance Package, Ford has unveiled a number of improvements for the 2024 Mustang Mach-E.

The grade-specific order books offer faster charging times, greater performance, and extended range.

Additionally, Ford has maintained price parity with the lower 2023 numbers. Only $195 more over the previous year’s cost, or $41,890, is the beginning price.

With rear-wheel drive and a 72-kwh Standard Range battery, the Select grade is the most affordable model. The Premium grade, which adds rear-wheel drive and a Standard Range battery, is priced starting at $45,890.

For those who enjoy long range, 320 miles can be achieved by combining rear-wheel drive with the 91-kwh Extended Range battery that is offered. When using the Standard Range battery, the distance decreases to 250 miles. Ford’s own estimations support this, while official EPA figures are still pending. The range estimates for both batteries are reduced by 20 miles when all-wheel drive is added.

Ford still offers the GT grade and the recently introduced Rally grade for enthusiasts of performance. All-wheel drive and the Extended Range battery are standard on both. The GT’s projected range is 280 miles, and its starting price is $55,890. Additionally, the GT receives a variety of benefits that were previously exclusive to the GT Performance grade. These include Brembo front brake calipers, adjustable dampers, and front sports seats with a 10-way driver adjustment.

With a starting grade of $61,890, the rally is expected to cover 265 miles. Remarkably, the cost of the Rally grade is approximately $5,000 less than what Ford had proposed when the grade was first announced in the fall. A destination charge of $1,895 is included in all pricing.

For the GT grade and standard on the Rally, there is a Performance Upgrade available. Purchasing it separately costs $995, or $745 if you combine it with a wheel and tire upgrade. Ford claims that while peak power remains at 480 horsepower, torque has been increased by 100 lb-ft to enable a 3.3-second 0-60 mph acceleration time and an 11.8-second quarter-mile ET at 114 mph. As a result, the Tesla Model Y Performance is slower than the Mach E.

Ford attributes the increased performance to improved algorithms for electric motor control, heat management, and an in-house built rear motor.

According to Ford, Mach-E grades equipped with the Extended Range battery can now charge from 10% to 80% in roughly 36 minutes, which is nearly nine minutes faster than previously. It takes roughly 32 minutes for the Standard Range battery, which is more than five minutes less than it did previously.
