Comparing Price Tags
Unlike just about every other new car, the price of the 2025 Ford Mustang hasn’t gone up since last year. Both model years start at $31,920! (Keep in mind, though, that the final cost of your sports coupe will vary, depending on trim model, equipment, and local fees.)
Horsepower: 2024 vs. 2025 Ford Mustang
The Ford Mustang was completely redesigned for 2024, and not much has changed since — especially when it comes to power and performance. To balance power (315 horses!) with fuel economy (26 mpg combined), check out the turbocharged EcoBoost engine. As usual, the Mustang GT delivers incredible speed with its 5.0-liter V8 engine, which now makes 480 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque.
And these models’ all-new Dark Horse trim is even more impressive. Its high-output engine is the most powerful version of the 5.0-liter V8 that Ford has ever produced, pumping out 500 horses and 418 pound-feet of torque! In addition to speed, the Mustang Dark Horse takes performance to the next level with upgrades that include the MagneRide adaptive suspension system, active exhaust, and high-performance brakes!
2024 and 2025 Ford Mustang Powertrain Specs
- EcoBoost/EcoBoost Premium: Turbo 2.3L four-cylinder engine (315 hp, 350 lb-ft) and 10-speed automatic transmission
- Mustang GT/GT Premium: 5.0L V8 engine (480 hp, 415 lb-ft) and six-speed manual or optional 10-speed automatic transmission
- Dark Horse/Dark Horse Premium: high-output 5.0L V8 engine (500 hp, 418 lb-ft) and uprated six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission
Tech & Comfort Features
These seventh-generation Mustangs are more handsomely equipped than ever! Both come standard with an impressive host of tech features, including the latest infotainment gear (SYNC 4, a 13.2-inch touchscreen, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto). The standard lineup is also big on high-tech safety, with lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot warning. If you move up the list of trim levels (EcoBoost, GT, EcoBoost Premium, GT Premium, Dark Horse, and Dark Horse Premium), you can enjoy upgrades like a wireless smartphone charging pad or 12-speaker B&O sound system.
The modern Mustang cockpit is also loaded with comfort features. In addition to roomy, supportive front seats, these sports coupes come standard with dual-zone climate control. Available upgrades include Ford’s ActiveX synthetic leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel, and ambient interior lighting.
Happy Anniversary, Ford Mustang!
The 2025 Ford Mustang celebrates its own inception with the 60th Anniversary package. This limited-edition appearance pack is available for 1,965 lucky 2025 Mustang GT Premium models. As you may have guessed, its retro features — including side graphics, unique grille, and 20-inch wheels — take their cues from the original 1965 Mustang.

Unless they’re lucky enough to qualify for the 60th Anniversary package, Michigan drivers won’t find many differences between the 2024 and 2025 Ford Mustangs.
