For the first time in history, the Electric Mustang (Mach-E) has surpassed sales of the traditional Mustang in the United States.
While the combustion model saw its sales drop to 44,003 units in 2024, a 9.5% decrease from the previous year, the Mach-E grew significantly, reaching 51,745 units. This growth was driven by a 26.9% increase in sales compared to 2023, contrasting with the decline in sales of Ford’s iconic muscle car.
The decline in sales of the combustion Mustang can be attributed to several factors, including changes in buyer profiles and growing competition from electric vehicles, such as the Mach-E. In the United States, where the combustion Mustang had already seen poor numbers in recent years, the lack of competition in the muscle car segment was not enough to reverse this trend. In contrast, the Mach-E benefited from generous incentives and shifts in the automotive market, attracting consumers seeking electric alternatives.
Despite the differences between the two models, both remain attractive sporty options, although the electric version is gaining more attention in the United States, where Ford is betting on keeping the classic Mustang alive alongside its electrified fleet.
