What’s new for the 2024 Ford Mustang?
The 2024 Mustang has been completely redesigned, making it the first model of the seventh generation. For drivers, that means new styling, tech upgrades, and a swifter performance! The standard lineup now includes the SYNC 4 infotainment system, with a 13.2-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
This year, you can get a Mustang that specializes in thrilling speed, with both the GT and EcoBoost models available with the Performance Package upgrade. This package helps create a truly thrilling ride, with the MagneRide active-damping suspension, upgraded Brembo brakes, a Torsen limited-slip differential, strut-tower brace, and wider wheels and tires.
If you decide to add optional Recaro front sport seats, you also get an active exhaust! The new Mustang is also available with a Performance Electric Parking Brake. Not only does it look just like a traditional lever-action handbrake, but you can also use it to make drifting your Mustang easier than ever.
There’s also a new addition to the Mustang trim lineup: the Dark Horse. Designed for high-performance action, the Dark Horse comes with a high-output version of the Mustang GT’s Coyote V8 engine, plus a longer list of performance upgrades.
How fast is the 2024 Ford Mustang EcoBoost?
Although it’s not the fastest Mustang in the stable, the base EcoBoost model is still pretty fast, going from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds. Thanks to its 315-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the Mustang EcoBoost blends steady speed with pretty good fuel economy, earning up to 26 mpg combined (22 city/33 highway).
Of course, if you prefer more speed, you can always choose the Mustang GT or all-new Dark Horse. As usual, the Mustang GT comes with Ford’s Coyote V8 engine.
