We don’t have the full rundown on the 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E yet, but there are a few early details coming in. Ford has informed its dealers that the upcoming model will launch without promotional financing or lease incentives, and analysts expect a second-generation Mach-E (along with a potential coupe version) to debut around mid-2026. Here's what we know about the details about the next-generation all-electric Ford Mustang Mach-E.
Key Takeaways
- Ford launches the 2026 Mach-E with standard rates only, so early buyers and lessees could see higher costs.
- Industry forecasts suggest a redesigned Mach-E and coupe variant may arrive in mid-2026 or later.
- The 2025 Mach-E remains a better short-term value thanks to its current 0% APR and strong lease incentives.
Standard Rates at Launch for the 2026 Mach-E
According to dealer bulletins, Ford isn’t attaching any promotional offers to the 2026 Mach-E at launch—meaning there's no special financing, no rebate programs, and no discounted leases. That puts the new model in a tougher spot out of the gate, especially since the 2025 lineup still has generous factory incentives in place. Buyers and lessees who jump in early may end up paying more per month simply because Ford is launching at standard market rates. Those incentives may return later, but for now, Ford appears to be holding firm as it transitions toward the Mach-E’s next phase.
A Possible Redesign and Coupe Variant Still in Play
AutoForecast Solutions recently updated its product map to show a second-generation Mustang Mach-E scheduled for June 2026 production. That update also lists a coupe-style version of the Mach-E.
Early reports from 2022 suggest a full redesign was on track for 2026, but more recent data points to possible delays. That could mean Ford is either fine-tuning the next-gen EV or waiting to align the release with new battery tech or platform updates. If that’s the case, the redesigned Mach-E and coupe variant may not appear until late 2026 or even early 2027.
Lease Costs Could Rise with Credit Expiration
There’s another reason 2026 lease pricing could trend upward—the recent expiration of the federal EV tax credit on September 30, 2025. Without that cushion, Ford Financial and third-party lenders will have less flexibility to reduce lease costs. In practical terms, lessees could see higher monthly payments or need to put more money down at signing compared to deals available in 2025.
The Advantage of 2025 Mach-E Lease and Finance Offers
Ford currently offers attractive programs for its 2025 Mach-E models, including a $397/month lease for 36 months with $397 due at signing on the Mach-E Premium with the Extended Battery Pack in California (10,500 miles per year). It’s part of the brand’s “Zero, Zero, Zero” promotion, which lets buyers start with no down payment, no payments for up to 90 days, and no interest for qualified customers. On the purchase side, Ford continues to promote 0% APR for 60 months across all trims, making the 2025 model year especially appealing for anyone looking to save ahead of the redesign.
What's Next for the 2026 Mach-E
For now, Ford hasn’t confirmed specs, range figures, or interior changes for the 2026 Mach-E, so information will likely surface closer to its arrival.
