Design and Comfort

Evolution, not Revolution: • The overall silhouette retains the iconic Mustang look, but with sharper angles and a sleeker roofline for a more modern feel. • Three Distinct Faces: The base EcoBoost, GT, and Dark Horse trims each have unique front fascias with different grilles and design elements, catering to various preferences. • Tri-Bar Taillights: A signature element, the taillights get a refreshed look with a concave design that pays homage to the 1968 Mustang. • Customization Options: Ford offers a wide range of exterior colors, including classics like Race Red and new vibrant options like Vapor Blue Metallic. Additionally, you can personalize your Mustang with hood, side, or over-the-top stripes and distinct badges depending on the trim.

Comfort • Driver-Focused Cockpit: Inspired by fighter jets, the interior layout angles the digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen towards the driver for a performance-oriented feel. • Upgraded Tech: Standard on all trims is a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13.2-inch center touchscreen infotainment system, a significant upgrade from the previous model. • Improved Materials: While some reviewers mentioned a few areas with budget-friendly plastics, Ford boasts an overall upgrade in interior materials compared to the 2023 model. • Comfort and Support: Despite the "fighter jet" inspiration, reviewers found the seats to be surprisingly comfortable and supportive, even during spirited driving. • Six Interior Themes: You can personalize the interior with various color combinations and seat materials, ranging from cloth with vinyl trim to ActiveX or leather options.

Performance

Powertrains: • EcoBoost Turbo I4: This base engine remains a solid choice for daily driving, offering good power (315 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque) and improved fuel economy compared to the V8. While not the most exciting option for adrenaline seekers, it provides a well-balanced performance with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission. • 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 (GT and Dark Horse): This is where the 2024 Mustang truly shines. The GT trim sees a horsepower bump to 480 hp and 418 lb-ft of torque compared to the 2023 model. Thanks to a revised intake system and other tweaks, expect sharper throttle response and a more exhilarating driving experience. • Dark Horse Trim: The star of the show, the Dark Horse boasts a specially tuned 5.0L V8 cranking out 500 hp and 418 lb-ft of torque. This variant is geared towards track enthusiasts and features additional performance upgrades like a Torsen limited-slip differential and stiffer suspension components. Handling: • Sharp and Responsive: Reviewers commend the 2024 Mustang's precise steering and well-balanced handling, making it a joy to navigate through corners. • Upgraded Suspension (Optional): For even sharper handling, the optional Performance Package includes stiffer suspension components, Brembo brakes, and a Torsen limited-slip differential (standard on Dark Horse). • Multiple Drive Modes: Select from various drive modes like Normal, Sport, and Track (standard on Dark Horse) to adjust throttle response, steering feel, and other parameters to suit your driving style and conditions. • Manual Transmission Option (GT only): For a more connected driving experience, the GT trim offers a 6-speed manual transmission as an option alongside the 10-speed automatic.
