The 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E continues to prove itself as one of the best electric vehicles on the market. After earning a spot on Consumer Reports’ Best EVs of 2025 list, the Mach-E has now gone head-to-head with six rivals in a MotorTrend comparison test—and emerged as the overall winner.
MotorTrend’s test lineup included the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Toyota bZ, Chevrolet Equinox EV, and Volkswagen ID.4. Each vehicle was evaluated on performance, range, charging, handling, and value. While the Kia EV6 led with the longest real-world range at 266 miles, the Mach-E wasn’t far behind, posting 252 miles. The EV6 also led in charging speed, but MotorTrend praised the Mach-E for something more important—its driving feel.
On the road, reviewers said the Mustang Mach-E is by far the most fun to drive, thanks to its sharp handling, smooth torque delivery, and confident body control. MotorTrend noted that the Mach-E connects, “however faintly, to the traditional Mustang,” a standout trait in a segment often criticized for lacking personality. This combination of performance, character, and everyday practicality set the Mach-E apart from its competitors.
Ultimately, MotorTrend crowned the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E as the test’s winner. With its strong value, spacious cabin, competitive range, and dynamic driving experience, the Mach-E demonstrates that Ford’s electric crossover continues to deliver across multiple categories. For drivers looking for an EV that blends fun, function, and innovation, the Mach-E remains a top choice.
