Select, Premium, and GT form the continuing core lineup. Used shoppers may also encounter the range-focused California Route 1 from 2021 through 2023 and the limited First Edition from the launch year.
Select is the entry trim across the MACH-E’s run. It focuses on the core electric driving experience and cabin technology, including the large center touchscreen, digital gauges, smartphone integration, and driver-assistance features.
Premium is the comfort-focused middle trim. In recent years it adds heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, upgraded B&O audio, a power liftgate, and other everyday convenience features over Select.
GT is the performance-focused MACH-E. On newer models it combines a 480-hp dual-motor all-wheel-drive system with stronger front brakes, sport-oriented front seats, upgraded driver assistance, and a performance drive mode.
California Route 1 was the range-focused trim sold from 2021 through 2023. It centered on the extended-range battery and road-trip usefulness; by 2023 it paired that battery with all-wheel drive, heated front seats, and a panoramic glass roof.
First Edition is a limited launch-year version. It combines Premium-style comfort equipment with an extended-range battery, dual-motor all-wheel drive, a panoramic glass roof, and identifying details such as red brake calipers and special scuff plates.
In recent years, Premium adds the comfort items many daily drivers notice most: heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, upgraded B&O audio, a power liftgate, memory mirrors, and ambient cabin lighting.
Premium emphasizes comfort and driving range, while GT emphasizes speed and handling. On newer models, GT brings a 480-hp all-wheel-drive system, stronger brakes, sport seats, and performance driving hardware; Premium keeps the calmer daily-driver focus.
During its 2021–2023 run, California Route 1 put greater emphasis on long-distance efficiency and the extended-range battery. Premium was the broader comfort trim, with a richer mix of seating, audio, and convenience equipment that varied by year.
The launch-year First Edition is essentially a specially packaged, well-equipped MACH-E with a fixed extended-range all-wheel-drive setup and unique trim details. Premium continued as the regular comfort model with a wider mix of battery and drivetrain setups.
Premium is the natural road-trip choice in the newer three-trim lineup because it combines the longest-range setup with added seat and cabin comfort. Among older models, California Route 1 was specifically designed around range and long-distance use.
It varies by year and setup. GT uses dual-motor all-wheel drive, and California Route 1 became all-wheel-drive-only for 2023. Select and Premium used examples may have either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, so check the individual vehicle.
Yes. Select retains the main cabin technology, including a 15.5-inch touchscreen, 10.2-inch digital gauge display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, phone-based key access, and a driver-assistance suite.
The answer changes by era. California Route 1 and the launch-year First Edition included a fixed panoramic glass roof, while GT made it standard for 2023. Later Premium models treat the roof differently, so verify the equipment on the exact used vehicle.
