Engines
There are two main engine options for 2023. At the entry-level, the EcoBoost Fastback model has a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine. It offers up an impressive 310 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. The turbocharged, direct-injection engine pales and doesn’t offer the same power as the V-8, yet it’s still more powerful than previous Mustang models.
Then there’s the option for a 5.0-liter V-8 engine. This engine can be had in the GT models or in the Mach 1 model. In the Mach 1, it delivers 470 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque. These engines have two transmission options. There is a standard 6-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic.
Fuel Efficiency
The EcoBoost Premium model averages 21 miles to the gallon in the city. It gets 29 miles to the gallon on the highway. This is a very fuel-efficient Mustang, living up to the EcoBoost name. The 5.0-liter engine in the GT Premium averages 15 miles to the gallon in the city and 24 miles to the gallon on the highway.
Exterior Styling
The entry-level EcoBoost Premium Fastback comes standard with exterior styling perfect for a muscle car. Standard features include LED headlights and LED front park turning lights. There are also LED sequential taillights and a pony puddle light on the side mirrors. There is a shark fin antenna, hood vents, and a decklid spoiler.
There’s also an option to add a performance rear wing. Another option is to add an over-the-top racing stripe in either ebony or white.
Interior
This year’s Mustang has a thoughtful design with more modern conveniences, like storage space. The cargo area has 13.5 cubic feet of space, which is more than Ford’s competition offers. There is a 50/50 split-bench folding rear seat. When folded down, this can create even more cargo space.
The Mustang comes standard with a 4-way manual driver seat. There’s an option to upgrade this to a 6-way power driver’s seat. This gives the driver’s seat power lumbar control.
Infotainment and Connectivity
Ford offers the option to upgrade to their Sync 3 Infotainment system in the Mustang. Their voice-activated technology makes phone calls and music selection much easier. It also has Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Wi-Fi hotspot compatibility. The vehicle includes Track Apps as standard, which gives the driver performance metrics like lap times.
