2025 Ford Mustang Trims Comparison
Which 2025 Mustang trim does Edmunds recommend?
We recommend the GT version of the Ford Mustang if it fits your budget. The EcoBoost turbo-four engine is strong, but it doesn't compare to the GT's V8. The 5.0-liter powerplant churns out 480 horsepower (165 more hp than the EcoBoost) while unleashing a throaty soundtrack. And unlike the EcoBoost engine, the V8 can be paired with the 10-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission. For additional performance, make sure to get the GT Performance package.
2025 Mustang trim level differences
The 2025 Ford Mustang is available as both a coupe and convertible and 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. Keep reading for our breakdown of the Mustang's significant standard features and options.
