The Ford Mustang Mach-E is a fun, dependable, sporty crossover that still looks great, even years after its initial launch. And despite the very vocal whining of the internal combustion purists, this very real Mustang outsold its internal-combustion siblings by more than 2:1 in August.
“Pony cars” like the Camaro and Mustang aren’t great commuters, and aren’t especially practical, either. That’s why, throughout their history, they’ve been largely seen as second cars, young people’s cars, or one of the Mustang’s OG nicknames from the 1970s and well into the 90s, “secretary’s sports cars.” As such, when the economy is uncertain, pony cars don’t sell that well – and even though the Camaro is dead and the new electric Charger is struggling to find an audience, the ICE Mustang is feeling some of that negative pressure.
Through August, a total of 31,015 internal combustion Mustangs have been sold, representing more than an 8% decline from the same period in 2024 and less than 10% of the total number sold from January-August in the Mustang’s record sales year (~607,000 units in 1966).
Still a great car
The Mustang Mach-E is only slightly outpacing the ICE Mustang at 34,319 units through the first eight months of 2025, representing a nearly 7% increase from 2024, when demand was artificially low while buyers waited for supercharger access and/or NACS ports. But it’s that eight month we really want to look at, with Ford delivering a total of 7,226 Mustang Mach-E crossovers compared to just 3,235 ICE models.
And, before you get too excited, that’s a solid month for a modern era ICE Mustang, with 3,235 representing a 2.2% increase in sales compared to 2024. All of which is to say: no, EV sales aren’t slowing – Americans just don’t understand fractions.
If you’re interested in seeing what all the fuss is about, you can score 0% interest financing for up to 75 months on new Mustang Mach-Es in some markets, plus $7,500 and free “standard” home charger installation. There are probably some great deals on ICE Mustangs, too, if you’re into that sort of thing. You can click on the links below to find local offers on both Mustangs in your area:
Ford sold 10,671 electric vehicles in August, up more than 19.3% from last year, with sales of hybrid Fords also surging nearly 24% compared to 2024. EVs and hybrid continue to outpace the rest of the market in general, and the same is true at Ford, which is up “just” 4% across all models for the first eight months of 2025.
