Ford has reopened order banks for its popular electric crossover the Mustang Mach-E for the 2023 model year. But there is a catch, Ford has jacked up the prices across all trims by as much as $8,000 and Destination charges have been raised by $200. The price for base level Select rear wheel drive trim equipped with standard range battery pack has increased by $3,000, while for top of the line GT AWD trim equipped with the extended range battery has increased by $7,900.
Ford says there is a significant increase in the material cost due to supply chain disruptions in the global market and just weeks after announcing price hike for Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Truck, this time Mustang Mach-E prices have been increased. In recent times many automakers have increased the prices due to the rapidly evolving market conditions and the price trend needs to be monitored even for the upcoming year.
Here is the new price list of 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E:
- Select RWD Standard Range: $46,895 ($43,895)
- Select eAWD Standard Range: $49,595
- California Route 1 eAWD Extended Range: $63,575 ($52,450)
- Premium RWD Standard Range: $54,975 ($48,775)
- Premium eAWD Standard Range: $57,675
- GT Extended Range: $69,895 ($61,995)
Some other highlights of the 2023 model year is a small increase in range, inclusion of two new color choices and addition of newly standard driver assist technology. Premium models in the lineup equipped with all-wheel drive powertrain will now have an EPA-estimated range of 290 miles which is an increase by only 13 miles over the 2022 model. Ford has included two new color choices in the color palette, Carbonized Gray Metallic and Vapor Blue Metallic, and the Dark Matter Gray Metallic and Iced Blue Silver Metallic have been omitted.
The Nite Pony package will also be available to order for Premium models with the extended battery and for GT Performance edition Mach-Es
As a compensation for the increased price, Ford is offering the Co-Pilot 360 driver assist package as standard feature accross the Mach-E lineup. Co-Pilot 360 includes safety features such as pre-collision assist, blind-spot monitoring, lane keep assist and auto high beams. The base Select trim model will come with access to a 90-day trial period of BlueCruise hands-free driving, but the owner will need to pay to enable it beyond that 90-day period.
Ford begins taking orders on Tuesday for the 2023 model year Mach-E and Customers with unscheduled orders for 2022 models will be offered conversion to a 2023 model order.
