The fact that sales of the real Mustang have fallen by 34 percent means that the electric car of the same name is once again overtaking the V8 model. And that's costing Ford dearly.
Every single day, Ford loses millions on their electric car division, the Model E. Yet the electric car Mach-E sells better than its namesake Mustang.
In February alone, the American brand sold 2,792 Mustang models. That's down to just 5,191 cars in the first two months of the year.
At the same time, the brand can note that Mustang Mach-E sales have increased by 62 percent over the same period in 2025, in contrast to sales of gasoline cars, which have plunged by 11.1 percent.
This is what The Drive writes.
Ford is also the only car brand still building a classic muscle car, after production of both the Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro ended last year. Neither model will receive a successor.
Ford sells almost no Mustang in Denmark
In this way, one would expect that customers would flock to Ford and Mustang. But no. Because the numbers point to something completely different. However, the future of Mustang as a sports car is not as uncertain as it sounds.
CEO Jim Farley has assured his customers that Ford will always build a muscle car with a V8 engine. 'Even if we have to be the last to do it,' to quote the boss himself.
Here at home, the Mustang – that is, the one with the combustion engine – is also a tiny part of the sales statistics. In 2024, for example, there were only 17 Danes who threw money at a copy.
In comparison, Ford in Denmark managed to sell 1,267 copies of the Mustang Mach-E. However, this is almost 100 cars less than the year before.
The facelifted Mustang will only be available in Denmark as a V8 model. In other markets it is also available with a 4-cylinder, 2.3-liter gasoline engine. A V6 engine is no longer an option in the seventh generation.
