2024 Ford Mustang

Price Range: $31,920 - $59,335

Keith Buglewicz | Edmunds

Good

For generations the 2024 Mustang has provided accessible performance, iconic styling and practicality at a reasonable price. Now in its seventh generation, the Mustang continues to appeal to a broad range of buyers. Though its 5.0-liter V8 might be the easy choice, the EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder helps keep the price down and can still be a lot of fun. A much-needed new infotainment system transforms the interior and should help keep the Mustang looking and feeling current for years to come.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Kurt Niebuhr

2/20/2026

The redesigned 2024 Ford Mustang introduces the seventh generation of the pony car, though much of the previous Mustang's DNA is still present. The new car rides on the same platform and uses the same engines (all with slight modifications), meaning that the new Mustang drives similarly to the outgoing model. Ford says that all of the 2024 Mustang's bodywork is new, save for the front pillars and roof, but the overall impression is one of many slight tweaks to the Mustang's current formula, albeit with more extreme lines. There's also a new high-performance Dark Horse model that combines elements of the much-loved GT 350 and GT 500 models but with added civility and comfort.

Edmunds spotlight: Improved interior tech

This new generation Mustang ushers out the more traditional analog dashboard layout and replaces it with a fully digital setup. Its appearance is polarizing, but the improvement in functionality and overall modernity cannot be disputed. The digital instrument panel has multiple configurations and displays far more information than previous iterations ever could. The same goes for the new, and much larger, 13.2-inch infotainment screen. It's easier to read, quicker to react, and much more comprehensive than anything ever offered in a Mustang.

Competitors to consider

While you might still be able to pick up a Dodge Challenger or a Chevrolet Camaro from a dealership, it's a sad fact that both of these long-term rivals will soon be out of production. That doesn't leave much in the way of direct competition, but the BMW 2 Series, Toyota GR Supra and Nissan Z offer both practical and sporty counterpoints to the Mustang.

7.9

out of 10

We drove the 2024 Ford Mustang on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8/10

How does the Mustang drive? No matter which version of the Mustang you choose, there's enough performance on tap to keep you entertained. We handed three versions of the Mustang to our testing team: an EcoBoost, a GT with a six-speed manual transmission, and a GT with the 10-speed automatic. All of the Mustangs were equipped with the Performance package. The EcoBoost hit 60 mph in a sporty 5.6 seconds, the six-speed GT flew by in 4.8 seconds, and the automatic-equipped GT was even quicker, doing the deed in 4.3 seconds. Speeds through the quarter mile were also in the same order — the EcoBoost reached 94.2 mph while the manual-equipped GT hit 111.6 mph and the automatic-equipped GT hit 113.1 mph. Other sports cars might be a tick quicker, but speed is easy to achieve in the Mustang.

Each of these Mustangs posted impressive braking numbers, taking 100 feet or very near it to stop from 60 mph. Not only are those impressively short distances for a relatively affordable sport coupe, but each version exhibited excellent pedal feel and very good stability. Handling is another strong suit of the Mustang, with all three leaning on their Pirelli P Zero tires to hit either 0.97 g or 0.98 g around our skidpad. Again, that's pretty impressive for the price. Our test drivers also found it relatively easy to extract the maximum from the Mustang's chassis, noting good body control and accurate steering.

When not on a track or a curvy back road, the Mustang, no matter its powertrain, is adept at handling the daily commute. The four-cylinder EcoBoost is peppy and has no problem keeping up with traffic, and the 5.0-liter V8 in the GT makes ample torque to lope around in traffic and climbs longer highway grades with ease. We really like the six-speed manual transmission, but all of our drivers found the 10-speed automatic an acceptable option should you not want to deal with a clutch.

Comfort

8/10

How comfortable is the Mustang? Whether you err on the side of comfort or performance, the Mustang has you covered. Standard on both EcoBoost and GT models is a non-adjustable suspension that soaks up most road irregularities just fine. Optional, and part of the Performance package, is the adaptive MagneRide suspension. Compared to the standard suspension, the MagneRide is on the stiffer side, but an enthusiast won't find it requires much compromise. Those same enthusiasts will likely also find the optional Recaro sport seats to be plenty comfortable, but larger drivers or drivers who want ventilated and heated seats will be happy to know that more relaxed seats are available.

Among the changes in the Mustang's new interior, the center air vents were relocated lower on the dash. These vents don't offer nearly the same amount of adjustment or airflow as before and we found ourselves constantly reaching to reorient them. Fans of physical climate controls will be disappointed by the fully digital controls in the Mustang. While most of the controls sit at the bottom of the touchscreen, some like the fan speed need an additional menu to pull up.

Much like the ride, enthusiasts will likely have no problem with interior noise levels in the Mustang. There is tire and road noise from the wide tires, but the rest of the cabin is fairly well insulated, even in the convertible. We think the standard exhaust sounds just fine on both the EcoBoost and GT models, but there is an active exhaust system available should you want to make a bit more noise.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? While the standard seats are comfortable enough, the optional sporty Recaro seats have thick bolsters that can make it hard to get in and out without sliding back the seat. The rear seats are cramped, especially when it comes to headroom, though they will serve for short trips. The Mustang's long doors can make it difficult to get in and out in tighter parking situations. If you opt for the convertible, dropping the roof does make rear seat access much easier.

We had no issues with the Mustang's standard non-Recaro seats, and the driver will enjoy a driving position that works well for both road and track driving. Visibility over the largely flat hood is good, but the windshield pillars are on the thick side and can block some of your view on tighter roads. Disappointingly, the side mirrors were not redesigned for this generation Mustang and remain too small for a car of this size.

Once inside, the Mustang presents its occupants with a fully digital dashboard and a minimal assortment of buttons. Previously, the steering wheel in Mustangs has been overcrowded with controls so we're glad to see Ford has streamlined the layout. Most of the other functions and settings are accessible through the large digital infotainment screen. It can be a bit of a stretch for some drivers, but the screen is easy to read, fast-acting and fairly intuitive. The Mustang won't take most owners long to figure out.

Build & Price

Buying Tips for the 2024 Ford Mustang for March

Purchasing a 2024 Ford Mustang could be an exciting experience, but knowing key details can help you ensure you're getting the best deal possible.

Buyers can save around 14% off the MSRP for some trims, with the Edmunds market price being significantly lower. This translates to savings of roughly $4,796 to $8,502 across different trims.
Currently, 145 new Ford Mustangs are available for sale nationwide, with the GT Premium having the highest availability which might give you an upper hand in negotiations.
Bear in mind that some trims stay on dealer lots for longer than the 60-day industry average for new cars, suggesting you might have added leverage in getting a better price.
If you're looking at used options, there's a substantial inventory with prices ranging from approximately $24,387, so plenty of choices for those interested in pre-owned Mustangs.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? This is where the new-generation Mustang is the most different. Facing the driver is a 12.4-inch digital instrument panel joined to a 13.2-inch touchscreen powered by Ford's Sync 4 system. The instrument panel has a multitude of configurations, while the touchscreen is easy to read, fast-acting, and features a menu structure that's relatively straightforward. We found the navigation system quick and efficient.

The optional 12-speaker B&O audio system is less impressive. It can crank out decent volume but lacks any real nuance once you turn it up. A wireless charging pad is available, and there's an assortment of USB charging ports within easy reach.

Equipped with standard driver assist tech like automatic emergency braking and blind-spot warning, the Mustang is about average among sports cars in this segment. Most of the systems worked without complaint, but we found the lane keeping system to be a bit clumsy and had a difficult time keeping the Mustang centered in its lane, resulting in ping-ponging back and forth between the lane lines.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? The Mustang is totally capable of being a daily driver and errand runner. Though the trunk opening is a little oddly shaped, the fastback's 13.5 cubic feet, and even the convertible's 11.4 cubes, is far more than the Camaro's 9.1 cubes. And it makes the most of its capacity, holding golf bags or suitcases with ease. It might not have the outright space of the Toyota GR Supra and Nissan Z, both hatchbacks, but the Mustang's traditional trunk keeps your belongings better isolated and more secure. As a bonus, the convertible doesn't eat up any trunk space once the top is down.

Interior storage space has enough room for sunglasses, a phone and drinks, and everything stays secure during spirited driving. There are provisions for car seats but you will likely struggle to fit them inside.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

7/10

How’s the fuel economy? We drove the EcoBoost and GT models, the latter with a six-speed manual transmission, over our 115-mile evaluation route and essentially matched the EPA estimates. In the turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost, with an EPA estimate of 26 mpg combined (22 city/33 highway), we achieved 26.0 mpg. In the V8-powered GT, we saw 18.0 mpg against the EPA's rating of 17 mpg combined (14 city/23 highway). These numbers are close to what you can achieve with the competition, although the V8-powered GT lags a little behind turbocharged rivals like the Toyota GR Supra and the BMW M240i.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Mustang a good value? Buying an entry-level Mustang EcoBoost is an inexpensive way to get behind the wheel of an American icon. But the performance-oriented GT goes up against more compelling competition including the Toyota GR Supra, BMW M240i and Nissan Z Nismo. Compared to these cars, the Mustang offers more options for personalization but typically has cheaper-looking plastics and interior pieces.

Warranties aren't as strong as we'd like but there's three years/36,000 miles of bumper-to-bumper coverage and five years/60,000 miles for powertrain peace of mind. Free maintenance is not included, but the Mustang does come with five years/60,000 miles of roadside assistance.

Wildcard

9/10

Whether you're just in it for the iconic silhouette or you're after the legendary performance, Ford offers a Mustang for a variety of buyers. Both the turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost model and the V8-powered GT can be equipped to cruise or carve corners and finally offer a modern enough interior, even if it loses some of the classic vibe. That classic vibe is arguably at its strongest when you opt for the six-speed manual transmission to back up the Mustang's 5.0-liter V8. Even if the Mustang is not as fast or as clinical as some of its rivals, it's fast, fun and largely uncompromised when it comes to everyday driving. The Mustang remains an honest and straightforward car, a rarity these days, and you'll never have to explain to friends and family why you bought one. Even with the death of the Camaro and the Challenger, the Mustang continues to make a strong case for itself.

2024 Ford Mustang trim level differences

The 2024 Ford Mustang is available as both a coupe and convertible and is available in five versions: EcoBoost, EcoBoost Premium, GT, GT Premium and Dark Horse. Powering the Mustang EcoBoost is a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine (315 horsepower, 350 lb-ft of torque) mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. No manual transmission is offered for the EcoBoost. The Mustang GT uses a 5.0-liter V8 engine (480 hp, 415 lb-ft) and offers the choice between a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic transmission. Finally, the Dark Horse, which is available as a coupe only, uses a more powerful version of the GT's 5.0-liter V8 engine (500 hp, 418 lb-ft) and offers a 10-speed automatic or an uprated six-speed manual transmission. All Mustangs are rear-wheel-drive. Compare the 2024 Ford Mustang trim levels in-depth.

Which Mustang trim does Edmunds recommend?

For the quintessential Mustang experience, we'd strongly recommend selecting the GT. This choice ensures you get the snarling 5.0-liter V8 engine and opens up the option of a slick-shifting six-speed manual transmission. To that, we'd add the GT Performance package to give the Mustang better handling and braking performance. If you have a bit more money to spend, opting for the GT Premium trim level gives you more standard equipment but does come at extra cost.

2024 Ford Mustang GT Premium 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl 6M)

Just bought the 2024 Mustang GT Premium. The car is all white with a two toned merlot interior. I have gotten positive comments on how the car looks and sounds. The car brings back memories of the muscle cars I remember growing up as a kid. The car is super fast and sounds unbelievable. Totally worth the money!!!!!
