What Colors Does the Ford Mustang Mach-E Come In?

The new Mustang Mach-E effortlessly combines the tradition and legacy of its powerful ancestors with fresh zero-emission, fully electric technology. 

Regarding energy efficiency, Ford’s new product scored 94 percent, regardless of weather conditions. It has been recognized by Euro NCAP and Green NCAP and even received an iF Design Award – so even the experts recognize it looks amazing.

Having all of this in mind doesn’t make it much easier to choose the right color for this car, representing both the old classical spirit of Mustang and EVs' new and thoughtful focus. The Ford Ford Mach E colors provide the buyer with 9 different purchasing options in 2022. 

Five of the coloring options are stock, while the Star White metallic tri-coat, the Infinite Blue, and the Rapid Red metallic tinted clearcoat painting options are considered add-ons and would cost between $400 and $600 US. The ninth color is trim-specific and available only for the Premium all-wheel-drive Mach-E.

Which Are The Stock Colors of a Mustang Mach E?

In the pursuit of coming up with the new “shape of freedom,” as Ford puts it, the four different trims of the new Mustang SUV don’t differ greatly in terms of exterior design. 

They’ve devised a shape that Ford wants to remain roughly the same for all trims. The five stock Ford Mustang Mach E colors that come with Ford’s masterful EV SUV are:

  • Space White
  • Iconic Silver
  • Carbonized Gray
  • Shadow Black
  • Grabber Blue*

*While Grabber blue is listed as a stock color, it only comes available only on the first edition trim of the Mustang Mach-E. 

Ford subsequently added Dark Matter Gray and Cyber Orange to the GT trim option. The other trims, aside from the stock Select, replace one color each, giving the buyer a wider choice.

Which Are The Add-On Ford Mach E Colors?

There are four trims currently available for the 2022 Mach-E, the Select, the GT, the Premium, and California Route 1. Of course, these come with different features and a slightly modified design.

The non-stock 2022 Ford Mach E colors that apply to all trims are the following:

  • The Star White metallic tri-coat
  • The Infinite Blue
  • The Rapid Red metallic tinted clearcoat painting

Depending on the trim, the Cyber Orange Metallic Tri-Coat could cost extra and replace the Infinite Blue option for premium trims. The iced blue painting option is in stock for the Premium and GT trims and can be bought without further price increases.

Do Different Mach-E Trims Come in Different Colors?

The Select

The model has four available trims, starting from the most basic and least expensive option, the  Select. The Select trim comes in two styles, AWD and RWD, both of which do not vary in design and come in the same 8 exterior colors.‍

California Route

California Route trim’s drive is rear-wheel drive only and is available in the 8 color palettes listed below.

GT

GT is the flagship trim available for the Ford Mustang Mach-E and is available in only one drivetrain style, All-wheel-drive, which can be bought in 8 different colors:

GT Trim Colors

Premium

Like the Select Trim, the Premium comes in two drivetrain styles - All-wheel-drive and Rear-wheel-drive. The All-wheel-drive style boasts one extra color choice.

Premium Trim AWD colors

Premium Trim RWD colors

Premium Trim AWD & RWD drivetrain styles available color choices

The 2022 model comes in the same typical 8 color scheme as the previous 2021 Mach-E.

What Are The Available Interior Color Options?

Unlike the exterior of the car, Ford Mach-E colors regarding the interior don’t come in with a wide variety of choices. The interior choice for the Select basic trim is limited to only one option - the Black Onyx ActiveX. 

If you want another interior, the Premium trim allows the buyer to choose between Perforated Light Gray Seats and black and light gray interior tones.

‍Naturally, the GT, as the priciest trim, comes in with more interior options and standard copper metallic stitching for the seats and dashboard of the vehicle. Moreover, you can choose which stitching to combine with which interior and exterior color to perfect your dreamed EV.

The overall interior options for the GT trim are:

  • Perforated Active X, Light Space Gray
  • ActiveX Black Onyx
  • ActiveX Black Onyx, Copper Metalic stitching, and Miko insert.
  • ActiveX Black Onyx, paired with red ST-Line stitches. 
  • ActiveX Black Onyx, combined with Grabber Blue stitching.

What Is The Best Color For the Mustang Mach E?

Having a car this good can give you parking anxiety. You can go to the supermarket and think about whether someone will bump into your car with a shopping cart or give you a fender bender.

Numerous Mach-E drivers have reported Infinite blue and Rapid Red as the most durable paint jobs. No orange peeling and no imperfections were noted after washing the vehicles. Among the most loved Ford Mach-E colors is also the Grabber Blue. 

The only complaints regarding faulty paint jobs among Mach-E drivers have been noticed in people driving the black version.

In an automated car wash, swirls and water spots could be found post-washing. 

Do You Need to Ceramic Coat The Paint?

Few cars, even as beautiful as the Mach-E, come with a stock ceramic coating option. But if you are all about a great look and protecting your car’s shine, you might consider trying the coating. And we all know real EV car lovers always go the extra mile, like getting to know how to maximize your car’s battery life.

Try out the Optiwatt app that automatically monitors utility plans over weekends and holidays to ensure you do not overpay. It helps to plan your trip and gives you precise charge forecasting.

‍This is worth it if you are willing to throw in a few extra bucks. A ceramic coating would not only make your Mustang maintain the shiny looks, but it would also fully eliminate the danger of swirl marks after washing and reduce the likelihood of you seeing any intrusive water stains.

‍Depending on where you drive your SUV, the answer could also vary. And especially if you like going camping in your EV, it will get dirty. But generally, if you are driving near dusty areas or often get dirt on your car (including any type of coarse particles), the ceramic coating might be the next best thing for your car’s exterior. The ceramic coating might be the solution to keeping your 2022 Ford Mach E’s colors shiny.

What Are The Advantages of Ceramic Coating Your Ford Mustang Mach E’s colors?

We mentioned the protection from dirt, swirl mark, and intrusive water stains, but there are other benefits to protecting your car’s paint. Applying a ceramic surface to the uttermost layer of your car’s exterior would also:

Facilitate cleaning

Due to the hydrophobic nature of the coating, it would be easier to wash your car without worrying about scratches and paint polymers disintegrating. 

Protect the paint from chemicals

The air can often have unclean chemicals in it, not to mention cases of dirty rain or bad atmospheric conditions. All of these, including storms, could potentially harm a vehicle’s paint and exterior altogether. 

Protect from UV light

A top-level coating prevents oxidizing from occurring in the paint of a car. And if you park your car outside and in the hot sun, without a protective layer, you might have a dull look regardless of how beautiful the car is.

Summing Up

All eight colors are of great quality, and drivers rarely reported any post-purchase defects. Paying the extra bucks for the Rapid Red or Infinite Blue options is definitely worth it, and while the black also seems great, the majority of complaints around forums and surveys come from owners of black Mustang SUVs. 

Having this in mind, these are also not that many, indicating the super high-quality paint job the Mach-E has, compared to a lot of vehicles in the same price range.
