What Happened
For the 2026 Mustang Mach-E, Ford developed four distinct suspension personalities across the trim lineup. The Rally model uses MagneRide adaptive dampers with extra suspension travel for off-pavement capability. The GT with MagneRide offers real-time adaptability for performance and comfort. The GT with passive suspension is tuned for a connected, responsive feel. The Select and Premium trims prioritize confident comfort for daily driving.
1,000times per second
MagneRide sensors monitor body and wheel motion, adjusting each corner independently in milliseconds.
“The MagneRide system is so fast that bumps often feel muted before you even realize they're there. It's constantly working in the background, adjusting multiple times in the span of a blink.”
- Rally: Proven versatility on and off pavement with MagneRide and extra suspension travel.
- GT (MagneRide): Intelligent adaptability with continuously controlled damping for real-time comfort and performance.
- GT (Passive): Connected and responsive feel for driver engagement.
- Select/Premium: Confident comfort for shared journeys with passive suspension tuned for everyday use.
Why this matters
Ford is tailoring the driving experience to customer preferences, using adaptive damping technology that adjusts in milliseconds to road conditions, giving buyers a clear choice based on how they drive.
