Set to be sold directly to customers through an online store, the Blue Oval’s first passenger electric vehicle is available in four variants for the Chinese market – Mustang Mach-E GT First Edition, GT rear-drive and rear-drive luxury versions (both long-range), and Yueshi rear-drive version (standard range).





Mustang Mach-E prices in China range between 265,000 Chinese Yuan (AU$55,350) for the entry-level variant, up to 379,900 Yuan (AU$79,350) in range-topping guise – both around the same cost as an Australian delivered Tesla Model 3, which is also produced in China.

The Mustang Mach-E’s popularity has seen it rack up 18,855 sales in the United States to the end of September 2021, under half the 41,035 units shifted of the internal combustion-powered Mustang – but ahead of some individual variants.

Despite its popularity, Ford Australia has previously said it will not be bringing the EV to the local market, instead of focusing on the E-Transit and electrified versions of existing models.
