Ford sold 44,003 traditional [Mustangs]() last year, down 9.5% from 48,605 in 2023. However, 51,745 people put their money down for a Mach-E, which marks a 26.9% increase as well as a 17% lead over gas-powered Mustang sales. Ford doesn't split units sold by trim level, so it's unclear how many Mach-E customers bought the entry-level Select model or sprung for the faster, more expensive GT. Still, with the base model getting even cheaper for 2025—dropping from $41,990 to $38,490 before any tax incentives—the sales gap between the electric and gas Mustangs could continue to grow. The Mach-E being cheaper to lease likely played a big role in it leapfrogging the Mustang in sales, after all. ![]() ![]() Cheap lease deals aren't the only reason why, though. There's a trend here. Mach-E sales have [risen each year]() the EV has been on sale, while the Mustang dropped substantially in 2024. The gas-powered pony car's year-end sales total was the lowest since this new model was released; meanwhile, the Mach-E's 2024 sales are by far its best. The two cars have passed the nexus point on their sales trajectories, as more customers seemingly favor an electric Mustang over a dinosaur-burning one, regardless of price. Furthermore, the Mach-E hurdled its iconic sibling despite being older and largely the same as when it launched in 2021. Ford played around with the Mach-E's lineup a bit, adding a gravel-slinging Rally model and interesting features like over-the-air performance boosts, but the two-door Mustang and its new flagship Dark Horse variant are still fresher. That apparently wasn't enough to pull people into an internal combustion-engined coupe, which started at $33,515 for an EcoBoost model in 2024 and leaped to $44,455 for a GT last year. It'll be interesting to see how the two cars sell in 2025 and if this trend continues. The Mach-E might only be a Mustang in name but as of right now, it's the more popular one. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
