What new type of Mustang model is coming soon
The Ford Mustang has long been one of the most iconic names in performance, and now, Sherwood Ford in Sherwood Park, Alberta, is closely following some exciting trademark news that has sparked plenty of speculation. Ford recently filed a trademark for the name “Mustang Mach 4,” and enthusiasts everywhere are buzzing about what new type of Mustang model is coming soon. Keep reading below to learn more about the Ford Mustang Mach 4 trademark and rumors.
What we know: The Mustang Mach 4 was trademarked
In recent months, Ford filed a trademark for “Mustang Mach 4” with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. While a trademark doesn’t guarantee production, it does suggest Ford has serious intentions for the name. The filing covers use for “motor vehicles, namely, automobiles, electric vehicles, sport utility vehicles, off-road vehicles, and structural parts,” indicating a possible broad application. That gives Ford flexibility to use the name for a variety of platforms, including electric or hybrid models.
Will there be a four-door Mustang sedan?
The most intriguing rumor surrounding the Mach 4 name is the idea that Ford may be preparing to introduce a four-door Mustang. While this may sound like heresy to purists, the industry is changing rapidly. With automakers exploring new niches and performance-focused family vehicles, a four-door Mustang—possibly an electric sedan—could be the brand’s way of expanding the Mustang nameplate to a new audience.
Some reports suggest the Mach 4 could be a Mustang-based sedan, offering sleek styling and high performance with added practicality. This would directly challenge vehicles like the Dodge Charger or even electric sedans like the Tesla Model S.
Could the Mach 4 be an electric vehicle?
The Mach 4 trademark also raises questions about how it might fit into the brand’s existing Mustang Mach-E lineup. Could the Mach 4 be a performance variant of the Mach-E? A longer, sportier, or more powerful electric vehicle? Or even a new body style entirely?
The Mustang Mach-E has helped Ford bridge the gap between legacy muscle and the electric future. A Mach 4 could extend that momentum—possibly with a dual-motor setup, enhanced range, or even a coupe-like four-door design that blurs the lines between performance car and EV crossover.
Previous Ford “Mach” model names
To understand the Mach 4 name, it’s worth looking back. The Mustang Mach 1, first introduced in 1969, was a performance package that quickly became legendary for its power and handling. It returned to the lineup several times over the decades, most recently in 2021 with track-ready tuning.
The Mustang Mach-E, introduced in 2020, marked the beginning of the brand’s electric performance era. Despite initial controversy over the Mustang name being used for an SUV, the Mach-E has proven itself with high performance, everyday usability, and a growing fan base.
The “Mach” label now clearly signifies innovation and performance, whether gasoline or electric. If the Mach 4 follows that tradition, we can expect something exciting—likely fast, stylish, and forward-thinking.
Will the Mustang Mach 4 be produced soon?
While nothing is confirmed, the Mustang Mach 4 trademark shows that Ford is exploring new possibilities under its legendary pony car banner. Whether it becomes a four-door performance sedan, a Mach-E variant, or something entirely unexpected, Sherwood Ford will be here to keep you up to date.
