About the Ford Mustang

Ford Mustang Exterior

Under the hood, buyers will have their choice of three individual engine options that rank from impressively efficient to astoundingly powerful. From every angle, the legendary styling of the Mustang reflects passion thanks to a combination of contemporary and retro-inspired cues found on the exterior. Thoughtfully designed to provide support to the movements of the driver, the ergonomic interior of the Mustang is packed with innovative tech features and track-inspired amenities for a more engaging experience behind the wheel. Highlights include standard SYNC® 4 with a 13.2-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen, 911 Assist®, AppLink®, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Eager to write your own chapter in the storied history of the Ford Mustang? There’s never been a better opportunity to get behind the wheel and experience the exhilaration that’s made the Mustang a legend.

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.
