Ford’s petrol-powered Mustang has once again outsold its electric counterpart, the Mach-E, in the US market during the second quarter of 2025. Despite a 14.2% drop in overall sales for the Mustang over the first six months of the year, it managed to increase its sales by 3.2% in the second quarter, selling 14,174 units. This was more than the Mach-E, which saw a significant 19.5% drop in sales during the same period, selling only 10,178 units.
The trend reflects a broader shift in consumer preferences in the US car market, where demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is declining. Ford’s EV sales, including models like the Mach-E and F-150 Lightning, dropped by 31.4% in the second quarter and 11.8% over the six-month period. The E-Transit electric van performed particularly poorly, with an 87.7% drop in sales in the second quarter.
In contrast, Ford’s hybrid vehicles have seen a significant boost, with sales increasing by 23.5% in the second quarter and 27.4% over the six-month period. The company is now banking on hybrids to help stabilize its market performance.
Despite overall challenges in the EV segment, Ford reported a 6.6% growth in its US sales during the first half of the year compared to the same period in 2024. The brand’s strategy to balance its offerings between petrol, hybrid, and electric vehicles appears to be a response to the changing market dynamics and consumer preferences.
