The Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium is the mid-range version of the Mexican-made, American electric vehicle, and is based on the GE1 architecture that is loosely derived from the Ford Escape mid-sized SUV no-longer available in Australia.

Kicking off from $80,490 before on-road costs, the standard level of kit is long and includes LED headlights, a heat pump, heated and powered front seats, artificial leather trim, ambient lighting, a fixed panoramic roof, dual-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, a 15.5-inch touchscreen, 360-degree camera, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, 10-speaker premium audio, a wireless charger and a powered tailgate. Note, however, that there is no spare wheel, just a tyre-inflation kit.

As part of the 2026 facelift, changes include a switch from a rotary-dial transmission selector to a column shift arrangement and improved suspension to improve the ride.

The Mustang Mach-E Premium boasts a five-star ANCAP crash-safety rating, aided by items such as autonomous emergency braking (AEB) with intersection assist, reverse brake assist, post-impact braking, lane-keep aid, lane-departure warning, evasive-steer assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, traffic-sign recognition and tyre pressure monitors. Plus, 10 airbags are fitted, including a front-centre airbag to reduce lateral-impact head strike.

Like the Ford Mustang Mach-E Select, the Premium is rear-wheel drive, and is motivated by a rear-mounted electric motor paired to a single-speed reduction gear transmission.

Compared to the pre-facelift model, the 2026 Premium is slightly down on power, but still offers strong acceleration (0-100km/h in 6.1 seconds) thanks to a healthy 212W of power and 525Nm of torque.

The Premium also ditches the Select’s 73kWh (useable) Lithium Ferro phosphate (LFP) battery, for an 88kWh Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) unit.

Dubbed the Extended Range as a result, electricity consumption is down to 17.7kWh/100km due to improved efficiencies, whilst range soars to a series-high 600km WLTP.

Contributing Journalist

Byron started his motoring journalism career when he joined John Mellor in 1997 before becoming a freelance motoring writer two years later. He wrote for several motoring publications and was ABC Youth radio Triple J's "all things automotive" correspondent from 2001 to 2003. He rejoined John Mellor in early 2003 and has been with GoAutoMedia as a senior product and industry journalist ever since. With an eye for detail and a vast knowledge base of both new and used cars Byron lives and breathes motoring. His encyclopedic knowledge of cars was acquired from childhood by reading just about every issue of every car magazine ever to hit a newsstand in Australia. The child Byron was the consummate car spotter, devoured and collected anything written about cars that he could lay his hands on and by nine had driven more imaginary miles at the wheel of the family Ford Falcon in the driveway at home than many people drive in a lifetime. The teenage Byron filled in the agonising years leading up to getting his driver's license by reading the words of the leading motoring editors of the country and learning what they look for in a car and how to write it. In short, Byron loves cars and knows pretty much all there is to know about every vehicle released during his lifetime as well as most of the ones that were around before then.
