Ford has cut the entry price of a big-battery Mach-E by $5,350. The 2027 Mustang Mach-E opened for orders on October 22, 2026 at $39,995 for the Select RWD, and every trim now carries the extended-range pack. That makes the cheapest Mach-E the one most buyers should order, while the new $2,295 Trail package is the smartest option on the sheet.
Quick answer: The 2027 Mustang Mach-E starts at $39,995 before a $2,045 destination fee, and an 88 kWh extended-range battery is now standard. A new Trail package adds $2,295 to the Select eAWD, for a total of $45,290. Orders are open now, and Trail models are due in the first quarter of 2027.
How much does the 2027 Mustang Mach-E cost?
Ford’s 2027 Mach-E announcement on Ford From the Road confirms the $39,995 Select RWD price and the $2,295 Trail package. Electrek published the full trim table the same day.
- Select RWD: $39,995
- Select eAWD and Premium RWD: $42,995 each
- Trail eAWD: $45,290, and Premium eAWD: $45,995
- GT: $50,995, and Rally: $55,290
Add $2,045 for destination and the base car lands at $42,040. Budget from that window-sticker number, not the headline.
Why the bigger battery matters more than the price
Electrek’s October 22 report puts last year’s cheapest extended-range Mach-E at $45,345. For 2027, Ford dropped the standard-range pack entirely. Select and Premium models get 88 kWh of usable capacity, and the GT and Rally get 91 kWh.
Ford says a new front motor delivers the same performance as the old unit at lower cost, and that saving pays for the bigger standard battery. The catch is range. Ford hasn’t published final EPA figures for 2027 and says they’ll come closer to availability. Electrek reports up to 320 miles for RWD models and 300 for eAWD, but treat those as provisional until the EPA labels arrive.
What does the Mach-E Trail package add?
Trail is a factory package for the Select eAWD, not a dealer add-on or limited run. It raises ride height by 10 mm in front and 15 mm at the rear, then borrows the steering rack, 19-inch wheels and Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires from the Mach-E Rally. Ford engineer Nick Rallis calls it “built for all-season, off-pavement excursions.”
Fifteen millimeters is barely over half an inch. This is a gravel-road car, not a rock crawler. The tires are the real upgrade if you live where winter hits hard, since you’d otherwise be shopping for a second set of wheels and all-weather rubber on your own.
Trail also includes 400W Pro Power Onboard, with outlets in the cargo area and the rear of the center console. Ford pitches it for jobs like inflating a paddleboard or running camp lights. Keep expectations in line with that wattage: anything with a heating element, like a kettle or a hair dryer, will draw well past 400 watts. Buyers also get 100,000 extra Ford Rewards points on top of the 22,000 every Mach-E buyer receives.
The BlueCruise ordering trap
Here’s the mistake to avoid at the order desk. Because Trail is built on the Select, BlueCruise hardware must be chosen when you order and can’t be added later, per Ford. On Select trims that means adding Tech Pack Lite. Skip it and there’s no hands-free upgrade later.
How it stacks up against the Equinox EV and Ioniq 5
Chevrolet’s 2027 Equinox EV page lists a $34,995 starting MSRP and an EPA-estimated 319 miles for FWD models. Hyundai’s 2027 Ioniq 5 page starts at $35,250 for the SE Standard Range, rated at 245 miles, with range of up to 318 miles on other versions.
So you’re paying about $5,000 more than the Chevy for a Mach-E Select RWD with a similar range claim. What that money buys is the Trail option. Hyundai’s closest answer, the Ioniq 5 XRT, starts at $46,525, which is $1,235 more than a Mach-E Trail. If you want the lowest price per mile of range, the Equinox EV wins on paper today. If you want an EV for unpaved roads without paying Rally money, the Trail is the better fit.

When can you get one?
Dealers are taking orders now. Ford expects Trail models to arrive in the first quarter of 2027, and its online Build & Price tool for the 2027 Mach-E opens early next year. Prices exclude destination and taxes. Ford can also change them before your car is built.
2027 Mustang Mach-E questions buyers are asking
How much is the 2027 Mustang Mach-E?
The 2027 Mustang Mach-E starts at $39,995 for the Select RWD, before a $2,045 destination fee, for a delivered price of $42,040. The top Rally trim costs $55,290. Taxes and dealer fees are extra, and Ford can adjust prices before production.
What is the range of the 2027 Mustang Mach-E?
Ford hasn’t released final EPA range figures for the 2027 Mach-E and says they’ll arrive closer to availability. Electrek reports up to 320 miles for RWD models with the 88 kWh battery and 300 miles for eAWD versions. Treat those numbers as provisional until the official EPA labels are published.
Is the Mach-E Trail worth $2,295?
For drivers who use gravel roads or deal with heavy winters, yes. The package adds Rally steering, 19-inch wheels, Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires, extra ride height and 400W outlets. Buying similar tires and wheels separately would cost real money. Remember to order BlueCruise hardware upfront, because it can’t be added later.
The bottom line on the 2027 Mustang Mach-E is the battery math: the $39,995 Select now gets the extended-range battery, which started at $45,345 a year ago.
