The refreshed 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E electric SUV has been unveiled, ahead of an Australian debut confirmed for the second half of next year.

Arriving as a mid-life update some five years after its American-market launch, the revised Mustang Mach-E gains an important cold-climates feature: a heat pump.

Designed to help keep the vehicle's battery system at optimal temperatures during the colder months, the addition of a heat pump should help limit the 'phantom drain' that can occur when batteries are left too long in the cold.

Ford says it has added the new feature after monitoring customer feedback.

It also brings the Mustang Mach-E in line with a growing number of EVs equipped with heat pumps, including the Tesla range, the BYD Atto 3, and those from Hyundai and Kia.

Lastly on standout MY25 updates, the Mach-E gains a new column-mounted gear shifter to free up space in the centre console, where a rotary shifter had previously lived.

A new Sport Appearance Package has also been added to the Mach-E range, borrowing styling cues from the top-shelf GT variant.

Features for the SAP include a new front bar and gloss black grille panel, along with Brembo brakes finished in a strong red hue.

Holding up each corner are 19-inch Monochromatic high-glass black wheels, while gloss black door accents and wheel arches round out the exterior tweaks.

Highlights in the cabin with the Sport Appearance Package include red stitching and red pedals, while Premium models gain ventilated front seats.

On the technology front, Ford's BlueCruise 1.5 is on-board for US owners, adding Automatic Lane Change to its capabilities.

Ford says the lane change system will automate “up to 45% of lane changes on an average drive, based on internal testing".

Not merely dependent on hand-actioned lane change requests from the driver, the system will also automatically change lanes – when safe – if a vehicle in front is driving slower than the set or signposted speed.

It's not a free system, however, available only as a monthly subscription. And, as noted, BlueCruise is not yet available to Australian buyers, due to regulations against any hands-free operations.
