2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E vs 2025 Tesla Model Y Review

2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E and 2025 Tesla Model Y

The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E continues to charge ahead as one of the most compelling electric SUVs on the market, especially when compared to rivals like the 2025 Tesla Model Y. While both EVs promise strong range and cutting-edge tech, the 2025 Mustang Mach-E sets itself apart with unmistakable style, driver-focused dynamics, and a more refined, practical experience. Here at Future Ford of Sacramento, we’re proud to showcase the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E’s bold updates, including a more premium, driver-centric cabin that balances modern technology with thoughtful ergonomics. Performance-wise, the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E brings instant torque and dynamic handling across all trims—Select, Premium, GT, and the off-road-ready Rally edition. And with a newly enhanced heat pump system, the Mach-E now delivers even better performance and range in cold climates—something that’s long been a pain point for many EVs, including Tesla. Let’s not forget practicality: the Mach-E offers competitive cargo space, a roomier rear seat experience, and a more conventional SUV layout that makes everyday use easier than the Tesla Model Y’s sloped roofline. For drivers in Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, Folsom and beyond, the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E proves that you don’t have to sacrifice style, driving engagement, or comfort just to go electric. In this review, we will cover all the specs of the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E, and show you why we believe the Mach-E presents as the superior EV.

Engine Specs, Horsepower and Charging Times

Customers who make their way over to Future Ford of Sacramento interested in the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E can choose between two battery sizes: a 70.0-kWh standard-range or a 91.0-kWh extended-range pack. This flexible setup allows drivers to prioritize either affordability or maximum range—something Tesla Model Y buyers can’t tailor quite as easily due to Tesla’s more rigid configuration options. Rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations are available across most trims, with RWD models in the Select and Premium trims delivering either 266 or 290 horsepower and a strong 387 lb-ft of torque from a single motor. Every Mach-E trim offers dual-motor AWD upgrades, boosting output up to 346 horsepower for swift acceleration and added all-weather confidence. And while the Model Y Performance is quick, the Mach-E GT and GT Performance Edition are equally thrilling, delivering up to 480 horsepower and an electrifying 700 lb-ft of torque. The new Rally trim also brings off-road attitude, something Tesla has yet to match with any variant of the Model Y. When it comes to range, the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E delivers 250 to 320 miles per charge, depending on battery and drivetrain—comparable to the Model Y’s EPA-rated range of around 279 to 330 miles. However, Ford’s newly optimized heat pump system in 2025 gives the Mach-E a serious boost in cold-weather efficiency—something Tesla drivers frequently cite as a weakness in winter climates. Charging is just as flexible with the Mach-E. DC fast-charging capability is standard, and owners can top up from 10% to 80% in as little as 33 minutes with a compatible station. Home charging using a standard 120-volt outlet adds about 30 miles of range overnight, while an optional 240-volt Level 2 charger adds up to 28 miles of range per hour. Tesla offers strong charging infrastructure through its Supercharger network, but with Ford now having access to Tesla’s network in 2025, the Mach-E gains even more convenience.

Interior Comparison

Step inside the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E and you’re greeted by classic design touches that honor its pony car heritage, such as the signature double-hump dashboard and a pony-embossed steering wheel. Ford pairs tradition with innovation, thanks to a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster and a 15.5-inch vertical infotainment touchscreen, running the latest SYNC system with a clean, responsive interface. While the 2025 Tesla Model Y relies on a single center screen and eliminates a driver display, many drivers may find Ford’s dual-screen layout more intuitive and user-friendly. The Mach-E also prioritizes comfort with soft-touch materials and ActiveX faux leather upholstery, while higher trims add heated and power-adjustable front seats, customizable ambient lighting, and driver memory settings. Tesla’s interior, while functional, uses more basic synthetic upholstery across all trims and forgoes amenities like ambient lighting or physical seat memory buttons. Where the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E really pulls ahead is in interior space and cargo versatility. It offers class-leading front legroom and generous headroom for both rows of seating. And with up to 60 cubic feet of total cargo space when the rear seats are folded, it holds its own against the Model Y’s similarly rated cargo volume. But Ford adds an extra trick: a washable front trunk (frunk) with a built-in drain plug—ideal for tailgating, storing gear, or even doubling as a mobile cooler.

Trim Options

Four distinct trims of the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E are now for sale at Future Ford of Sacramento, offering something for every type of driver. Whether you’re shopping from Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova and Folsom, here’s a review of what each trim brings to the table. The entry-level Select trim comes standard with 19-inch machined-face aluminum wheels accented by High Gloss Black pockets, all-season tires, and Ford’s cleverly designed drainable front trunk. Inside, you’ll find Black Onyx ActiveX seats, a 15.5-inch touchscreen, a six-speaker audio system, and 12V power outlets in both the front and cargo areas. Wireless device charging comes standard, and power is delivered via a 72-kWh standard-range battery and rear-wheel drive. Step up to the Premium trim and enjoy a more upscale experience with heated front seats, power-adjustable front seating, multi-color ambient lighting, and a heated steering wheel. The standout feature is the 10-speaker B&O Sound System with subwoofer, providing rich, immersive audio for every drive. Performance enthusiasts should check out the GT trim. Designed for those who crave power and style, it features Ford Performance front seats with Gray perforated ActiveX, Miko reflective inserts, and City Silver contrast stitching. Under the hood, the 91-kWh extended-range battery boosts both performance and range. On the outside, Brembo front brakes with red calipers and 20-inch machined-face wheels with aero covers make a bold statement. Interior upgrades include a wireless charging pad, rotary gear shift dial, and a heated soft vinyl-wrapped steering wheel. For drivers who like to venture beyond the pavement, the Rally trim delivers off-road flair and functionality. Built for light trail use, it adds aluminum underbody protection, a unique grille guard with integrated fog lights, and a modified front splitter for improved approach angles. The Rally also features the exclusive RallySport Drive Mode, sport pedals, and a premium B&O Beosonic sound system by Bang & Olufsen.
