The price for base rear-wheel drive models will increase from about $43,000 to about $46,000. The Mustang Mach-E GT, which has all-wheel drive and a larger battery, will rise from about $62,000 to about $69,900. Ford said it was raising prices due to “continued pressure on key supply chains and rapidly evolving market conditions.” The automaker said it will continue to monitor pricing and market conditions throughout the next model year. Customers with backorders for 2022 model year vehicles that are not yet scheduled for production and delivery will be offered a 2023 model instead, according to Ford. However, some additional features are added for the new Mach-E models. For example, Ford’s advanced “Co-Pilot 360” driver assistance technology will be standard equipment on all models. It includes lane keep assist, automatic high beam and blind spot monitoring. Also, all-wheel-drive models with “extended range” battery packs will be able to travel an EPA-estimated 290 miles before needing a recharge, 13 miles more than 2022 models. Buyers of the Ford Mustang Mach-E will also be eligible for a $7,500 tax credit until the end of 2022. It’s unclear whether the Mach-E will continue to qualify for tax credits under the new federal regulations, according to Ford spokesman Dan Barbossa.
