Ford Mustang Mach-E given round of 2025 updates | Auto Express

Must read

Donna Dickson, the Mustang Mach-E’s chief engineer said, “We’re dedicated to giving [customers] the best version of Mustang Mach-E possible, and that means giving them features they have been asking for, including the new heat pump and more interior space up front.”

Upgrades to the firm’s BlueCruise system – now branded BlueCruise 1.5 – mean that from 2025 the Mustang Mach-E will be able to perform automated lane changes where conditions allow. Ford says, “BlueCruise 1.5 will initiate a lane change if the vehicle ahead is slower than the set speed, or if a vehicle is following too closely in the passing lane. It keeps drivers engaged longer in hands-free mode and helps navigate traffic.” 

Apparently, on a typical journey, internal testing shows BlueCruise 1.5 can automate up to 45 per cent of lane changes. BlueCruise can be initiated over the air (OTA), either with a 90-day free trial, a fixed fee covering a year’s subscription, or a lifetime purchase.

Prices have yet to be revealed, but the base Ford Mustang Mach-E in ‘Select’ trim currently costs from £43,330 and we’d expect a modest inflationary rise when the new car arrives in Q2 2025.
