Ford’s venerable Mustang nameplate has been around for almost 60 years and has become a cultural icon with the passage of time. Symbolizing personal freedom and passion for driving, the Mustang is a signature Ford product that delivers a uniquely American sports car experience. With the all-new 7th generation 2024 Mustang, Ford seeks to deliver on all that has made the Mustang an icon, while also appealing to the enthusiast of the future.

Since the debut of the 6th generation Mustang, Ford has thrown down the American sports car gauntlet by leading sales in its segment for the past 7 years. Ford intends to maintain its status as the segment benchmark with the all-new 7th generation Mustang. With crisper, fresher and edgier styling and a fighter-jet inspired interior it’s sure to elevate the heart rate of all warm-blooded car enthusiasts. Internal combustion engines, key to the exciting and uniquely visceral Mustang experience, are all-new for 2024, displacing 2.3 liters for the turbocharged Ecoboost 4cylinder and 5.0 liters for the naturally-aspirated V8. Manual transmission lovers will be happy to learn that Ford is continuing the 6spd manual for both engine options while also keeping the 10spd auto option available for those that prioritize ultimate acceleration and lap-times over involvement. Open-air driving fanatics can opt for either engine or transmission in the new Mustang convertible. Regardless of your price point or desired driving experience and performance, there IS a new Mustang for you.

The all-new Mustang presents a cutting-edge interior, with a design sure to engage and entertain the driver. For 2024, the 7th generation Mustang features a 12.4 inch customizable digital instrument cluster that changes visuals depending on drive modes and is based on the same Unreal Engine 3D creation tool currently used in animating video games. This new interface allows the driver to display whatever information is desired, allowing a personalized selection of colors, classic-looking Mustang gauges or even a ‘calm’ screen with only minimal details displayed. One can spec the all-new Mustang with a 13.2 inch SYNC 4 center stack that sits behind a single piece of integrated glass, flowing seamlessly into the instrument cluster. Apple Car Play & Android Auto are fully compatible with Sync 4, & the available B&O sound system optimizes the acoustics of the Mustang’s interior for the ultimate auditory experience. The all-new interior design incorporates a race-inspired flat-bottomed steering wheel and a variety of material and color options, ranging from cloth to synthetic leather. A leather-wrapped wheel and leather seat inserts are available on upscale trims. An innovative feature, exclusive to the all-new Mustang, is the Remote Rev key fob which can rev the engine without the driver being in the vehicle. Neat!

Instantly recognizable as a Mustang yet edgier and more chiseled than before, the gen 7 ‘Stang combines heritage design cues with modern sporty sensibilities into one hot package. The upper grille design shape is inspired by the original 1964.5 Mustang, yet differs depending on engine choice: V8 Mustangs will now feature larger, more aggressive grille openings engineered to allow increased airflow, reflecting the increase in power and performance versus their 4cylinders counterparts. All Mustangs have unique styling cues that deliver on their promise of Mustang Performance, with Tri-Bar LED headlamps continuing the Mustang’s classic lighting signature, a sleek roofline, and wider rear fenders and sculpting that signify the power put to the ground through the rear wheels. Convertibles, a staple of the Mustang breed, offer one-touch activation to drop the top with a single-handle center latch opening and closing the fully lined and insulated fabric roof, making it easy and fun to drop the top. 11 exterior colors are offered with 2 all-new shades, Vapor Blue & Yellow splash. Stripes can be spec’d in all new designs and 3 different colors can be optioned for the Brembo brake calipers- Black, Red or Grabber Blue. 17, 19 and 20inch wheels are offered, all with new designs for the 2024 model year. Further customization is being offered to the consumer with the new for 2024 Mustang Design Series.
