Ford has restructured the trim packages for the 2026 Mustang Mach-E and changed its approach to standard equipment. The key change is that the front trunk (frunk) is no longer standard and is now offered as a separate $495 option available for all 2026 Mach-E versions.The front compartment under the hood features a drainage system to handle moisture and can store bags, charging cables, or wet items. Previously, this space was a standard part of the electric crossover. Ford explains the move is practical, citing company data showing owners don't use the frunk frequently, hence making it optional.A similar rationale applies to other elements. For instance, the 2026 Mustang Mach-E Rally no longer includes a standard rear spoiler—it's now a separate option. The Rally version's graphics have also become a paid extra. Meanwhile, the model has gained new features.The lineup now includes a California Special package with Rave Blue accents on the exterior and interior, plus signature graphics inspired by classic Mustang special editions. Additionally, the updated Mach-E features redesigned rear door handles that simplify access for second-row passengers. Despite adjustments to its EV strategy, Ford confirms the Mustang Mach-E remains in production without radical concept changes.Ford is clearly betting on configuration flexibility and a lower base price, but buyers will need to scrutinize the options list more carefully. The Mach-E remains one of the most recognizable electric crossovers in its segment, though familiar conveniences now come at an extra cost.
