Ford announces upgrade for Mustang Mach-E

Four years ago, Ford introduced the Mustang Mach-E, its first crossover, and last year a refreshed version arrived with a range of over 900 km. Now the company is announcing a series of improvements for this model.

Since its arrival on the market, the Mustang Mach-E has started to achieve good results, and so far it has sold almost 100k Mustang Mach-Es. However, few could have expected that in 2024 it would surpass the legendary Mustang model in sales.

Ford has published a list of improvements that include three new exterior colors (Velocity Blue, Molten Magenta and Terrain), a black insert added to the front bumper as a limiter, a revised wheelbase. The GT version will get a new black front grille, while versions with the Premium package will get 19″ alloy wheels. All versions will get a heat pump.

The car’s interior will get a new interface for the Sync 4A multimedia system, and a change in the positions of some controls. The gear selector has been moved from the center console to the steering column, and the wiper and indicator controls have been moved to a single lever.

Hennessey Super Venom based on the Mustang Dark Horse

American company Hennessey Performance has unveiled its latest Super Venom project. It is an upgrade package for the Ford Mustang Dark Horse and Mustang GT. Only 91 units will be produced.

This project is somewhat different from those that Hennessey has presented so far. The Super Venom is equipped with the VenomAero equipment kit made of carbon fiber, which includes a front splitter, a ventilation opening on the hood, functional openings on the front fenders, sports sills, mirror housings, a new trunk lid with an integrated spoiler and a fixed rear wing. The handling and grip have been upgraded, so now drivers can count on greater safety on the road or track at high speeds. Customers can choose between three liveries in black, silver and red.

The interior has not been changed much. There are leather and Alcantara seats with embossed backrests, floor mats, as well as a numbered plaque on the dashboard.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Super Venom is powered by a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine with 862 hp and 880 Nm of torque. This is a 70% increase in power compared to the Dark Horse, which was achieved thanks to improved injectors, a new engine management system, a high-performance supercharger, a high-flow air intake system and a new fuel pump. This allows the car to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.2 seconds.

Speaking of price, the Mustang GT-based Super Venom costs $149,950, while the upgraded Dark Horse is slightly more expensive at $163,950.

Ford sold more Mach-Es than Mustangs

Since the Mustang Mach-E hit the market in 2021, few expected it to outsell the combustion engine model. That happened in 2024, when Ford delivered 51,745 units of its first all-electric crossover.

According to the published data for 2024, Ford sold 44,003 units of the legendary Mustang model, which is 7,742 units less than the Mach-E. For many, this is a surprise, because demand for EVs last year was not at the expected level. In fact, demand for the standard Mustang has been falling year after year, and Ford’s decision to quickly switch to an all-electric brand was too hasty. But Ford is stubborn, as demonstrated by the launch of the all-electric Puma Gen-E which will join the hybrid version.

In 2024, sales of the Mustang Mach-E increased by 27 percent compared to 2023. The model had a successful last quarter thanks to 16,119 units sold, an increase of 35.6 percent compared to the same period in 2023.

Ford recently announced the arrival of a new SUV that should be the successor to the EcoSport. It will have a robust and adventurous design, as well as a different driving range. Although it was speculated that only an all-electric version would be offered, there are high chances that both a hybrid and a mild hybrid will be offered, as this is what European customers are most looking for.
