Highlights include standard SYNC® 4 with a 13.2-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen, 911 Assist®, AppLink®, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility.

What the Critics Say
"Run ragged on some of the best canyon roads Los Angeles County has to offer, the new Mustang GT is shockingly poised and well balanced. Instead of bucking through bends, the new Mustang dives in and carves through, with speeds and confidence previously only exhibited by Shelby-badged cars." – MotorTrend
"Now in its seventh generation, the Mustang continues to appeal to a broad range of buyers. Though its 5.0-liter V8 might be the easy choice, the EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder helps keep the price down and can still be a lot of fun. A much-needed new infotainment system transforms the interior and should help keep the Mustang looking and feeling current for years to come." – Edmunds
What’s New for 2026
Most of the excitement surrounding the updates to the Ford Mustang for the 2026 model year relates to the debut of a few new option packages that are inspired by classic models of decades past. Known as the FX Appearance Package, you’ll receive numerous retro-inspired features that are a nod to the Fox-body era of the Mustang. Choosing this package also means that you’ll have the option to select a new Performance Package featuring Oxford White wheels inspired by classic Mustang Cobra models. Additional perks included are carbon fiber trim from the Mustang Dark Horse, silver and blue contrast stitching, and retro-inspired plaid perforated leather seats. Concluding the list of updates for the Mustang lineup, Adriatic Blue Metallic and Orange Fury have been added to the exterior color sheet for 2026 as well.

Timeless Styling & Performance
From your very first look at its iconic profile, the Ford Mustang will get your heart pumping thanks to its signature exterior appearance and confident stance on the road. Its muscular hood flows effortlessly rearward using chiseled character lines, ending at the sculpted rear haunches. Eager to attack every open stretch of highway, the timeless fastback look of the Mustang hints at the immense power found under the hood.
On the subject of power, the Mustang is available with an impressive selection of dynamic performance options to suit the needs of virtually any type of driving style. You can enjoy turbocharged thrills from its proven 2.3-liter EcoBoost® four-cylinder, delivering a balanced 315 horsepower. Ready to unleash the fury of time-tested performance? Upgrade to the iconic 5.0-liter V8 to experience the roar and sheer muscle of 480 horsepower on Mustang GT variants. Drivers can also choose between a 6-speed manual or 10-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission. Standard Track Apps™ offers key performance data right from the gauge cluster (track use only). Mustang Dark Horse high-performance variants push the limits of performance, each constructed with track-tested engineering and adrenaline-pumping thrills.
Driver-Focused Interior
Using inspiration from classic Mustang models of the past, today’s Ford Mustang benefits from the latest connectivity and comfort features to deliver a first-class experience inside the cabin. Standard on all models, the SYNC® 4 infotainment system lets you use your voice to change songs, make phone calls, and so much more. In addition, standard FordPass™ Connect with 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability helps you stay in touch even if you’re miles and miles away from home. Driving enthusiasts can also equip their Mustang with RECARO® sport leather-trimmed front seats, constructed using a track-tested mix of support and comfort. Personalize the atmosphere of the interior even further with available ambient lighting with MyColor® technology. Delivering the perfect soundtrack for your journey is an available B&O™ Sound System featuring 12 speakers and a subwoofer. From the highway to the race track, the interior of the Ford Mustang helps you get the most out of every mile.
Groundbreaking Safety
Since even the most experienced drivers can use some help on occasion, today’s Ford Mustang is more tech-focused than ever thanks to a sophisticated array of groundbreaking driver-assistive safety features included as standard. Examples of these revolutionary features found in Ford Co-Pilot 360 include Lane-Keeping Assist, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert, automatic high beams, and a rear view camera system. Navigating traffic is easier than ever before with Adaptive Cruise Control and a Lane Centering Assist feature.
