2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E
Car and Driver says Ford resurrects the celebrated Mustang California Special treatment for 2026, now with the Mach-E as the canvas: 20-inch carbonized gray wheels with a GT/CS logo, a California-coastline-inspired hood graphic, an illuminated Rave Blue pony emblem, and a bespoke dark Navy Pier interior treatment. Built on the GT trim, it shares the 480-hp twin-motor setup. MSRP runs $39,840-$59,735. MotorTrend says the standard-range single-motor model makes 264 hp and 387 lb-ft with RWD, while the GT and Rally models get a larger battery and increased power, and calls it a good replication of pony-car fun in a modern EV; MotorTrend lists top-ranked competitors as the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Chevrolet Equinox EV, and Tesla Model Y.
