Snapshot
- 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E: Australian details confirmed
- Model Y, EV6 rival priced from $72,990 plus on-roads
- Production to commence “imminently” ahead of Q4 arrival
Ford Australia has confirmed pricing and features for the Mustang Mach-E – a rival to the Tesla Model Y, Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Volkswagen ID.4 – with reservations now open.
According to the brand, the first allocation of Australia-bound Mach-Es will commence production "imminently".
The local Mach-E line-up – sourced from Mexico – will kick off with the entry-level Select grade, followed by the mid-spec Premium and the flagship GT performance variant.
UPDATE, July: More Ford Mustang Mach-E details confirmed
Ford Australia has published a full specification list for the Mustang Mach-E electric SUV and confirmed it'll launch in the fourth quarter of this year.
Pricing for the Premium and GT has fallen by $1325 due to the higher luxury car tax (LCT) threshold for the current financial year. The base Select falls below the threshold with unchanged pricing.
This story has been updated to reflect the latest information.
It will follow the all-electric E-Transit commercial van due imminently, and it’ll be joined by the smaller E-Transit Custom confirmed for 2024 – plus the Escape Plug-In Hybrid medium SUV on sale now.
However, the entire Escape line-up will be discontinued later this year, while Ford Australia has “no plans to introduce” the new, Europe-destined Explorer EV based on the Volkswagen Group MEB platform shared with the ID.4.
To purchase a Mach-E, customers must create an account on Ford's consumer website, with a $1000 reservation fee. All buyers must facilitate ordering and servicing through Ford's limited 'approved EV' dealer network.
Ford has confirmed the base Select – priced from $72,990 before on-road costs – will be fitted with a new 71kWh lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack, allowing for a WLTP-rated 470-kilometre driving range.
This battery chemistry is found in other entry-level EVs, including the base Tesla Model Y RWD, MG ZS EV Standard Range, and the GWM Ora Standard Range.
Ford states that the LFP battery now enables owners to charge to 100 per cent “more frequently” via an AC slow charging point, while DC fast charging from 10 to 80 per cent is five minutes quicker, with a claimed 33 minutes.

The mid-spec Premium brings a larger 91kWh battery and a more-powerful 216kW and 430Nm electric motor, allowing for a driving range of “up to 600km”.
While the top-spec GT retains the Premium’s larger 91kWh battery, it gains an electric motor mounted to the front axle, for a 358kW/860Nm total system output.
However, as with the Kia EV6 GT and Tesla Model Y Performance, this comes at the cost of range, with the Mach-E GT limited to 490 kilometres.
It has a claimed 0-100km/h sprint time of 3.7 seconds, making it the fastest accelerating vehicle in Ford’s local range.
All variants support 150kW DC fast charging, and a maximum 11kW AC charge rate for home charging.
