Ford is keeping the updates rolling for the 2027 Mustang Mach-E, including this new Trail model.
We usually approach more choice in a given car’s lineup as a net positive, and that’s what we’re getting with the 2027 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Basically, the company is bringing the core tenets of its off-road-themed, GT-based Rally down to the more affordable price points with this new Trail model. That’s all great, though there is another piece of news to consider if you’re shopping for a new Mach-E. At the base end, the entry price just got more expensive, though you do get more battery capacity (and therefore range) for your money.
Let’s cover the Trail first. This trim comes based on the Select eAWD model, so it sits between the base Select and the mid-range Premium models. As such, you get the same sort of upgrades that the Rally gets, including a revised steering rack, specially tuned suspension, different wheels with Michelin CrossClimate 2 tires, and actually a bit more ground clearance (+0.2 inches in fact) in the rear than you get with the Rally.
One extra touch that the Trail gets over the Rally is the 400-watt Ford ProPower Onboard, which comes standard as part of the $2,295 package over the Select eAWD. That said, you can also get that feature on the Premium, GT and Rally as an option.
Since the 2027 Ford Mustang Mach-E Trail is based on the all-wheel drive Select, you get a less potent version with 370 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, rather than the 480-hp/700 lb-ft Rally. The main appeal, however, is the lower price tag, that comes in at $47,335, or $10K less than the top-end Rally.
What about the rest of the Mach-E lineup for 2027?
The basic trim structure for the 2027 Ford Mustang Mach-E remains the same, Trail model notwithstanding. That means you start with the base, RWD Select, though the price is now $42,040. Ford is tweaking the formula a bit for this year, introducing a new front drive unit that is just as powerful as the previous models, but less expensive to produce. The automaker then decided to ditch the standard (and smaller) 73-kWh battery pack, in favor of giving the Select, Premium and trims a larger 88-kWh pack instead. That is the main reason for the price hike, though the net benefit of that is better range. At the top end, both Rally and GT models still use a 91-kWh pack.
Above the base model, both the Select eAWD and Premium RWD come in at $45,040. If you want AWD for the Premium, you’ll have to tack on another $3,000. Then, above the Trail, the 480-horsepower GT comes in at $53,040 — a notable $2,400 drop from last year — while the Rally is also less expensive, at $57,335 (down from $59,735).
BlueCruise 1.5, Ford’s signature semi-autonomous driving system, is now option on the Mach-E Select trims under the Tech Pack Lite, as well as on the Premium with the Premium Tech pack. One year and 90 days of service comes baked in on all trims, after which you’ll have to pay a fee to keep its functionality. Critically, if you think you might want BlueCruise at some point, you have to order a car with the hardware installed from the factory, as Ford will not add it later. Finally on the tech front, all 2027 Mustang Mach-Es get the Connectivity Package and Security Package as standard fare (though you’ll also have to pay to keep those going beyond the first free year of service, if you don’t pay the one-time purchase fee).
Order books for the 2027 Ford Mustang Mach-E are open right now. Deliveries for the Trail are slated to kick off in the first quarter of 2027, while Ford says it will open up the online configurator early next year.
Corrections 10/22/26: An earlier version of the article incorrectly cited the size of the smaller, outgoing battery as 70-kWh (it’s 73-kWh), and that some trims did not have the full year and 90 days of BlueCruise from purchase before needing a subscription. Both of those points have been clarified above. Apologies for the errors!
