Ford sold more electric cars with a Mustang badge on the front than gas-powered Mustangs in 2024.
When final sales were tallied, the company reports, Americans had driven home 51,745 Mustang Mach-E SUVs in 2024. They bought 44,003 Mustangs, combining coupe and convertible sales.
The Mustang Mach-E name was mildly controversial among the Ford faithful when it debuted for the 2021 model year. Many longtime Blue Oval fans felt that only a true muscle car should wear the running horse badge. The Mach-E’s bodywork is unmistakably Mustang-inspired. It’s also low enough to the ground that the federal government briefly classified it as a sedan at one point before revising some guidelines.
But its high stance and tall greenhouse let Ford consider it a sport utility vehicle. The company calls it “America’s best-selling electric SUV behind only Tesla’s Model Y in 2024.” Ford saw Mach-E sales increase nearly 35% from 2023 numbers.


Mustang sales, meanwhile, fell 9.5%. Ford spokesperson Said Deep told industry publication Automotive News that supply chain issues led Ford to build fewer gas-powered Mustangs than it would have preferred last year.
“Measuring Mustang’s success by just looking at volume misses the mark on the strength of this particular segment,” Deep said in a statement. “Mustang is a very profitable and vibrant business for Ford.”
The Mustang is the last traditional gas-powered muscle car with an available V8 standing, with both the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger out of production.
