Who makes Mustangs now?
The Ford Motor Company makes Mustangs today.
The iconic lineup includes the traditional gasoline-powered Mustang and the all-electric Mustang Mach-E. Ford markets and produces these models across North America and internationally; this article explains who makes Mustangs now, how the lineup is structured, and where production takes place.
The maker of Mustangs today
Ford Motor Company remains the maker of Mustangs. The brand’s two current offerings—the classic gasoline-powered Mustang and the Mustang Mach-E electric SUV—are designed, developed, and produced by Ford teams in North America for global distribution.
Two current Mustang products
The following list highlights the two official Mustang models currently offered by Ford.
- Ford Mustang (traditional gasoline-powered pony car, available in multiple trims and performance packages)
- Ford Mustang Mach-E (all-electric crossover/SUV, introduced in 2020 and sold globally)
Together, these models illustrate Ford’s dual approach: continuing the legendary gasoline Mustang while expanding into electrification with the Mach-E.
Where production happens
Mustangs are produced at Ford facilities in North America, with production sites assigned by model line. The gasoline Mustang is typically built at Ford's traditional North American assembly locations, while the Mustang Mach-E is assembled at dedicated facilities in Mexico for global markets.
Primary production sites
- Gasoline-powered Mustang: Ford Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Michigan (North America)
- Mustang Mach-E: Cuautitlán Assembly Plant, Mexico (for global markets)
Ford continues to align production with market demand, ensuring both models remain available worldwide while leveraging regional manufacturing hubs.
Summary
Ford Motor Company currently makes Mustangs, headlined by the gasoline-powered Mustang and the electric Mustang Mach-E. Production locations reflect this split, with traditional Mustangs produced in North America and Mach-Es assembled in Mexico for global distribution. The maker remains Ford, supported by Ford's engineering and performance teams for ongoing development of the Mustang family.
