2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E Orders Reopen, Prices Swell Ford Mustang Mach-E production appears to be back on track as the automaker announced it will resume orders for all-electric SUVs starting Tuesday. The announcement comes after Ford in April due to shortages and high demand. The promising news for customers who missed the 2022 model also comes with notable caveats, however: 2023 models arrive with new options, a longer-range premium model and steeper price tags across the board.

Premium adds scope, California Route 1 Drops RWD

Available only with an extended-range 91 kWh battery, the California Route 1 model was previously offered in the Mustang Mach-E in rear-wheel drive form. It now only comes with AWD, lowering the estimated range from 314 miles to 312 miles.
