As before, the new Mustang is rear-wheel drive and offered as either a fastback or convertible. There are six trims to kick off the seventh generation: EcoBoost, EcoBoost Premium, GT, GT Premium, Dark Horse, and Dark Horse Premium. The two with EcoBoost in the name use a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine (315 hp and 350 lb.-ft. of torque), while the GT and GT Premium are whisked into action by a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 (480 hp and 415 lb.-ft. of torque). But the most power is unleashed by the Dark Horse trims: they use the same Coyote V8, but it’s tuned to churn out 500 hp and 418 lb.-ft. of torque.
Buyers of the V8-equipped Mustangs can choose to control their own shifting with the standard six-speed manual transmission. The EcoBoost versions only come with a 10-speed automatic, which is optional in conjunction with the V8. While the Dark Horse trims also have a six-speed stick-shift, theirs is an exclusive TREMEC with a distinct titanium-anodized shift knob in blue.
The base EcoBoost has a good assortment of standard features, the most notable of which are automatic LED headlights, proximity keyless entry (Intelligent Access), push-button ignition, a 12.4-inch digital gauge cluster, a flat-bottomed steering wheel, a leather-wrapped shift knob, automatic climate control, and two smart-charging USB ports. The EcoBoost Premium adds to the fun with dual-zone automatic climate control, heated side mirrors, ambient interior lighting, a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror, a heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel, power-adjustable front seats that are heated and ventilated, wireless phone charging, and ActiveX-upholstery. The GT’s equipment list resembles that of the basic EcoBoost, but with the auto-dimming rearview mirror and leather-wrapped steering wheel, plus a hood vent and a decklid spoiler. The GT Premium is a mix between the EcoBoost Premium and the GT, but it’s differentiated by a HomeLink universal garage door opener.
The distinctly styled Dark Horse doesn’t have the ventilated front seats or HomeLink garage opener from the GT Premium, but that will be fine with most buyers, since it gets some considerable performance upgrades. Those bonuses are a MagneRide damping system, Brembo brakes, a Torsen limited-slip rear differential, unique chassis tuning, a stability control system, heavy-duty front springs, and a K-brace. The Dark Horse Premium gets all of that, along with the ventilated front seats and HomeLink garage door opener. It’s worth mentioning that most of those upscale amenities are offered for the lower trims via elective packages.
The Ford Co-Pilot360 technology suite is standard in the redesigned 2024 Mustang to furnish it with a pre-collision system with automatic emergency braking, automatic high beams, a lane-keeping system, road edge detection, blind-spot assist, rain-sensing wipers, and rear parking sensors. The Dark Horse trims are bolstered with adaptive cruise control, lane centering, intelligent speed assist, and predictive steering assist, each of which can be optioned in the lower trims.
The EcoBoost and GT both come with a 13.2-inch touchscreen featuring Ford’s SYNC 4 infotainment system, which manages Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming, voice recognition, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a six-speaker sound system. The EcoBoost Premium and GT Premium upgrade to a nine-speaker audio system and SiriusXM satellite radio, while the two Dark Horse trims top off with a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system, HD radio, and navigation. Again, some of those enhanced items can be ordered in the less expensive trims.
