Big price drop for the Ford Mustang Mach-E: is it time to buy it ?

Ford announces a sharp drop in the price of its Mustang Mach-E in April. In response to the war declared by Tesla, the electric SUV therefore loses a little less than 5,000 euros. But it is still not eligible for the ecological bonus, unlike the Tesla Model y.

Last January, Tesla operated incredible drop in its prices worldwide, up to 13,000 euros in France. A fall that concerned its two best -selling models, namely the Model 3 and the Model Y. The latter also broke a production record for Berlin Gigafactory. Which obviously does not leave the other indifferent manufacturers, who were quick to react for some.

A sharp decline

This is particularly the case with Ford. At the end of last January, the oval blue firm announced a price reduction in its Mustang Mach-E, but only in the United States. The electric SUV therefore lost between $ 600 and $ 5,900 (about 555 to 5,458 euros) depending on the finish. An amazing fact, since the manufacturer announced a little earlier to want to make its profits climb rather.

But the war declared by Tesla has greatly changed the situation. Now, it is the turn of French customers to enjoy a price drop on the first electric model of the American brand. In any case, this is what a press release from Ford France, which evokes a ” Price repositioning of the Ford Mustang Mach-E »Within the range.

It is actually a simple way of announcing a fall in its price, since The electric SUV loses no less than 4,660 euros Compared to the previously displayed price. More concretely, it is now necessary to pay 56,990 euros to afford a copy, against 61,650 euros until then for the entry -level propulsion version.

For the record, the Ford Mustang Mach-E started “only” 48,990 euros when it was launched in 2020. A relatively affordable rate which allowed him to be eligible for the ecological bonus, which was still granted to cars of more than 47,000 euros. This is no longer the case today and the electric SUV can therefore no longer claim to No financial assistance from the government.

A more favorable situation

Of course, Ford does not evoke strong competition and the price war in its press release. She is content to justify this decision by ” a more favorable economic situation, with advantageous exchange rates and of lower tensions on raw materials“” . It must be understood that the shortage of semiconductors is kindly resolving. This should end in next year.

In addition, the price of lithium has also dropped slightly in recent weeks. If for the time being, Ford uses NMC batteries (Nickel – Manganese – Cobalt) for its electric SUV, an alternative using LFP chemistry (lithium – iron – phosphate) will soon be offered in Europe. This technology, soon also adopted by the Stellantis group has the advantage of being less expensive.

If Ford wants above all to be enriched, the firm based in Dearborn also wishes to offer cheaper cars to its customers. This is particularly why she plans to follow the strategy of Renault and Tesla by implanting smaller batteries in his cars. Because a big accumulator does not only have advantages, not to mention the fact that it is no longer necessarily necessary to have disproportionate autonomy, as we explained in a previous article.

Is it time to buy the Ford Mustang Mach-E ?

If you are interested in the Ford Mustang Mach-E, this price drop is welcome. But, it is also possible that prices are still reduced in the future, thanks to the use of LFP batteries. Unless this price drop is the result of the presence of new batteries. So you will have to wait a bit before you get a clean heart. We contacted Ford to ask them and update this article upon receipt of their answer.

Opposite, the Tesla Model offers a more attractive autonomy / price ratio and lower consumption. But the Ford stands in front in some areas such as the presence of ventilated seats, the 360 ​​degree camera or of course Apple Carplay and Android Auto.

Many manufacturers have decided to review their price positioning because of Tesla. This is particularly the case of Lucid, Vinfast, Toyota or Nissan and Citroën, which reduced the price of its electric electricity. On the other hand, Renault has chosen to increase the basic price of its megane e-tech by removing the cheapest version. For its part, Volkswagen does not want to make its current range less expensive, but prepares more affordable models like ID.2.
