Price and Ownership Costs

Price remains a significant point of difference in this competitive category. The 2025 Mustang Mach-E Select carries a starting MSRP of $37,995, making it the least expensive option among the four EVs we’re comparing here. For perspective, consider its competitors’ base pricing: the Hyundai Ioniq 5 Standard starts at $42,600, the Chevrolet Blazer EV LT at $44,600, and the Tesla Model Y Long-Range RWD at $44,990.

Beyond sticker price, long-term ownership costs also favor the Mustang Mach-E over at least one major rival. Edmunds’ data shows the Mach-E’s long-term ownership costs to be $48,123, based on 15,000 miles per year over five years. That’s almost $5,000 less than the Model Y’s $53,589. This contrast reflects the Mustang Mach-E's advantages in depreciation, financing, taxes, fees, insurance, and repairs. On a cost-per-mile basis, the Mach-E's lower average ownership costs are $0.64, compared to $0.71 for the Model Y. Edmunds hadn’t analyzed the ownership costs for the Ioniq 5 or Blazer EV by the time of this writing.

Comfort and Space

The Mustang Mach-E makes the most of its footprint to deliver a roomy and comfortable cabin. It offers 43.3 inches of legroom up front, more than both the Model Y (41.8 inches) and the Ioniq 5 (41.7 inches). Cargo space behind the rear seats is another win for Ford. The Mach-E has 34.4 cubic feet of room, narrowly edging out the Model Y’s 34.3 cubic feet and leaving the Ioniq 5 (26.3 cubic feet) and Blazer EV (25.5 cubic feet) well behind.

Power and Range

While all four of these EVs are pleasant to drive, the Mach-E strikes a good balance of the critical elements of comfort, performance, and price. Its rear-wheel-drive Select trim puts down a healthy 264 horsepower and 387 lb.-ft. of torque, figures that outmuscle the Ioniq 5 SE Standard Range (168 hp and 258 lb.-ft.) and the Blazer EV LT (220 hp and 243 lb.-ft.). Tesla doesn’t publish official output numbers.

Regarding range, buyers looking for maximum distance per charge will want to look beyond the base Select trim. The standard-range Mach-E Select offers a respectable 260 miles, which beats the Ioniq 5 Standard’s 245 miles but trails the Blazer EV LT at 312 miles and the Model Y Long Range at 357 miles. However, stepping up to the Mustang Mach-E Premium with rear-wheel drive and the extended-range battery unlocks up to 320 miles of range, closing much of the gap with Tesla and topping the Chevy.

Reviews

The Mustang Mach-E also holds its own when it comes to professional and owner reviews. Edmunds rates the 2025 Mach-E an 8.2 out of 10, putting it just behind the Ioniq 5 (8.4) but well ahead of the Blazer EV (7.6). The Model Y sits in the middle at 8.1.

Looking closer at the category breakdowns, the Mustang Mach-E distinguishes itself in key areas. In the Value category, it earns an 8.0 out of 10, on par with the Model Y and just behind the Ioniq 5, but noticeably better than the Blazer EV’s 7.5. The Mustang Mach-E also scores well in Technology (8.5), tied with the Ioniq 5 and outpacing the Model Y (7.5) and Blazer EV (7.5). Its Wildcard score, which covers intangibles like design character and driver appeal, is a strong 9.0, matching both the Model Y and the Ioniq 5. The Blazer EV brought up the rear with a 7.0 in the Wildcard category.

The Ford product’s consumer ratings are even higher. Mustang Mach-E owners give it an average rating of 4.4 out of 5, beating the Model Y’s 3.7, the Blazer EV’s 3.9, and the Ioniq 5’s 4.0.
