2024 Ford Mustang: Engines, Power, Price, On Sale, Rendering, and More
Mustang’s 60th-birthday nip/tuck retains carryover powertrains, preps for future hybrid EcoBoost and V-8-powered three-motor E-AWD performance variants.
The seventh generation of the icon that launched the pony-car genre will arrive in time for the Mustang brand's 60th anniversary. Expect it in coupe (as rendered here by MotorTrend artist) and convertible forms with two powertrain offerings. Variants delivering greater performance and efficiency will follow in the years to come.
The Mustang, along with the Bronco and F-150, is a pillar of the Ford brand that carries immense emotional appeal. It's Ford's sole North American car offering and also ranks as one of a shrinking number of affordable, fun-to-drive two-doors. Plus the droptops are all over rental fleets in tropical locations — what would we do if it disappeared?
The 2024 Ford Mustang will get a new code name (S650), but we expect its D2C-derived architecture to largely carry over from its S550 predecessor. And based on numerous prototype spy photos and leaks, it will receive only mild evolutionary styling revisions, such as squintier three-element headlamps, a revised hexagonal grille, and new air intakes. New electrical architecture will enable new feature content at launch, like a fully digital instrument cluster and today's latest safety and driver assist features. It will also support over-the-air updates to an increasing number of software-enabled features, helping it stay as fresh as ever over its expected eight-year lifespan.
