We don’t know much about the updates to the 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E as of this writing, but a few details have started to surface. Ford has notified its dealers that the next Mach-E will arrive without any promotional financing or lease incentives, while industry forecasts suggest a second-generation model is coming in mid-2026. Beyond that, details remain thin.
Key Takeaways
- Ford will offer standard rates at launch for 2026 models, which could make it more expensive for early buyers and lessees.
- Forecasts point to a second-gen Mach-E and coupe variant in mid-2026, but some reports say that it may be even later.
- With strong lease and finance offers still on the table, the 2025 Mach-E is far more affordable in the short term.
Standard Rates at Launch
According to dealer bulletins, Ford will offer the 2026 Mach-E with only standard rates. That means no rebates, no special APRs, and no promotional lease offers. Buyers and lessees jumping in early may end up paying more than they did with the 2025 model.
Possible Redesign and Coupe Variant
AutoForeCastSolutions has updated its product map to show the second-gen Mach-E launching in June 2026, along with a coupe version of the EV. That aligns with earlier reporting back in 2022, when the Mach-E was first said to be on track for a redesign in 2026. However, newer reports suggest Ford may push that timing back, which means the long-rumored redesign and coupe variant could arrive later than expected.
Lease Costs Could Rise
Another factor working against the 2026 model is the expiration of the federal EV tax credit on September 30, 2025, which also eliminated the lease tax credit. Without it, Mach-E leases are likely to be more expensive compared to deals shoppers were able to find previously.
Current 2025 Mach-e Lease Deals
Meanwhile, the 2025 Mach-E is still being offered with strong incentives. Ford lists the Mach-E Premium with the Extended Battery Pack at $397 per month for 36 months with $397 due at signing in California (10,500 miles per year). It’s part of Ford’s “Zero, Zero, Zero” promotion, which allows buyers to start with no down payment and no payments for up to 90 days. On the finance side, all trims are currently available with 0% APR for 60 months.
