Is the 2024 Ford Mustang redesigned?
Yes, the Mustang has been completely redesigned for the 2024 model year. Not only was the Mustang the first-ever pony car, but it also looks like it’s the last one standing! But you wouldn’t know it doesn’t have much competition, because this new Mustang produces more power than ever before. It even offers a new high-performance model, the Dark Horse. Inside each 2024 Mustang cabin, you’ll find the latest infotainment system, along with a new digital gauge cluster.
How much horsepower does the 2024 Ford Mustang GT make?
This year, the Mustang produces a stunning 500 horsepower, courtesy a high-output version of its iconic 5.0-liter V8 engine. You’ll only find this engine in the brand new Dark Horse trim models, which also treat you to a long list of high-performance features, including the MagneRide damping system, heavy-duty front springs, 19-inch Brembo brakes, an open air induction system, and more!
If you decide you want the Mustang GT, you’ll enjoy nearly as much power, with a 5.0-liter V8 engine that makes 480 horses, up from 450 horses in the 2023 model. Mustang GT shoppers can choose between a six-speed manual transmission and 10-speed automatic. The EcoBoost models, with their thrifty turbocharged four-cylinder engines, have also grown a little more powerful, delivering 315 horses. This year, EcoBoost models are only available with the automatic transmission. As usual, all Mustangs send power to the rear wheels.
Here’s a look at the 2024 Ford Mustang powertrain specs:
- Mustang EcoBoost: Turbocharged 2.3L four-cylinder EcoBoost engine (315 horsepower, 350 lb-ft of torque)
- Mustang GT: 5.0L V8 (480 hp, 415 lb-ft)
- Mustang Dark Horse: 5.0L V8 (500 hp, 418 lb-ft)
What features do the 2024 Ford Mustang Premium models add?
While the Mustang EcoBoost and GT trim models come standard with an impressive list of features, the EcoBoost Premium and GT Premium models are even more spectacular. For instance, the Premium Mustangs give you ActiveX faux-leather upholstery, a nine-speaker sound system, and heated and cooled front seats. Compared to the EcoBoost Premium, the GT Premium adds a few extras, such as soft-closing doors and a leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel.
This year, the Mustang’s standard lineup is nothing to sneeze at! Unlike in the previous generation, the infotainment system is now standard equipment. The redesigned Mustang is also equipped with the latest SYNC 4 software, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Style and comfort features include cloth upholstery, a leather-wrapped gear shift knob, a vinyl flat-bottom steering wheel (or leather in the GT), and a 12.4-inch digital gauge cluster.
