I am not sure how RUclips got me to your video (hello from the USA), but your review was fun to watch and I loved the intro! It is interesting that Ford is presenting this as a 2025 model year for Australia. The frunk, front bumper, wheels, and side badging do not align with what announcements have been made regarding the 2025 GT in North America. They haven't yet shown a finalized version of the 2025 GT here as far as I have seen, but they have said it will have an updated front "grille" design, and a heat pump which will reduce the frunk size. The model you are reviewing appears to be a combination of the 2023 GT and GTPE models in North America with obviously the driver side seat flipped. It is hard to tell for certain, but based on the vehicle looks and infotainment screens I could see, it does not appear this car has the new motors that were introduced in the 2024 model year in North America either. I expected to see some differences based on geographical locations, but I did not expect to see the car to essential be two model years behind the North American models. I'm curious if this is something you commonly have to deal with in Australia or if this is a unique situation.
TBH, the concept of the model year, at least insofar as specific updates and changes that seem to be expected annually and which can be readily used to differentiate different vehicles, seems to be exclusively a North American thing. Certainly in the UK, a car is released and looked at as ‘first gen’ between (just an example here) say 2011 and 2016, then ‘second gen’ might be between 2016 and 2022, then ‘third gen’ for post ‘22 cars. We certainly don’t regard each and every year as being essentially a different version of the car, even thought they do get tweaked as time goes on.
@mikeb8548 2025 is the mid cycle refresh, so it is an important year. The big thing is it is getting a heat pump so AC and heat will be more efficient, this make the frunk shallower so you can tell this car doesn't have it. Wheels and grille are changing as well.
Nice video! Idk why people keep saying it cannot tilt. My thigh support goes up or down. I can also move the entire seat up or down. I love my 24 GT with performance upgrade. Ugh! They got rid of the foot to open trunk feature here in the US though. Even though the top speed (200 kph / 124 mpg) isn't great, it's fast enough for street driving.

Loved the opening shot sequence, very clever!
Thanks, mate! Glad you enjoyed it.
The original Mustang was a 2 door Ford Falcon. Today's 4 door "sedan" is a SUV, so it makes sense that the Mustang-E is a 4 door SUV
ps. Rachel might find "hep" (14:45) a bit intriguing. 🙂
@@vanderaj LOL! Sssshhhhh!!!!!
Thanks Chris great Video.
Thanks 🙏

I've heard the same, there's a lot of confusion about the seats and tilting - maybe Ford needs to do a better job of communicating that!
