2025 Ford Mustang Mach E vs 2025 Volkswagen ID.4
How Mach E Value Outweighs Volkswagen ID.4 Prices
The 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 seeks to stand out with lower starting prices. However, the Mach-E stands out for buyers prioritizing performance, technology and value at a compelling price point. Here’s what you should know.
Performance and Range
Every Mustang Mach e offers significantly higher horsepower and quicker acceleration, especially in AWD and GT trims. We’re talking up to 480 horsepower and a 0–60 mph sprint time as low as 3.3 seconds. That’s how it earns the Mustang nameplate.
Plus, if you like to take long trips, you’ll want the best electric range. That honor belongs to the Premium RWD Extended Range trim. It delivers up to 320 miles, significantly more than the Volkswagen ID.4 maximum of 291 miles. Basically, Ford EV drivers can go up to 29 miles, enjoying more peace of mind. 
Standard Features
Both models are well-equipped, but Ford’s recent tech upgrades and amenities give the Mach-E an edge in value for most buyers. Plus there’s more 2nd row legroom, making passengers happy.
Mustang Mach E entry-level trims may be less expensive than comparable ID.4 trims, especially after Ford’s recent price cuts. However, even if the price is higher, Ford rewards the buyer with better horsepower, better range or both.
When it comes to standard features, all Ford trims now include a heat pump, updated infotainment, and access to Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free driving system. You won’t find a semi-autonomous cruise system on the ID.4. Learn more in this 2025 Mustang Mach-E Review. 
Prices and Value
Volkswagen ID.4 has an advantage when it comes to entry level prices. For instance, the RWD trim starts at $39,995. However that lower price also means a lower range and power than the base Mach-E.
Meanwhile, the Mach-E Select RWD is less expensive than the ID.4 Limited RWD. More importantly, it has more power and range than that VW EV trim level. An electric range of 320 mi is available for about $43k. The ID.4 Pro RWD offers only 291 miles for about $45k.
Furthermore, performance seekers won’t like the slower ID.4. The Mach-E delivers more power, faster acceleration, and a sportier drive for the price, especially in AWD and GT trims.

Ownership Costs
When it comes to day-to-day ownership, Ford offers longer warranty coverage and lengthier complimentary roadside service coverage. Fuel efficiency can be as much as 111 mpg-e, making the speedier Ford essentially equivalent to the VW ID.4, which can claim up to 113 mpg-e. 
Conclusion
Whether you are buying your first electric car or are a seasoned EV driver, the Ford Mustang Mach E is the better choice. You’ll appreciate longer electric ranges, speedier powertrains, and excellent standards.
