Ford launches the seventh chapter of its storied Mustang sports car with reworked-but-familiar styling, revised chassis hardware, an all-new interior, and two improved powertrains. While the new pony is saddled-up for the future with a bevy of upgrades, the long-term fate of its closest competitors, the Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger, isn’t as rosy. The new-gen car will continue to be powered by a 5.0-liter V-8 and an updated turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, though Ford hasn’t told us how many horses are present in either powertrain—only that there will be more of them than before. Both a six-speed manual and a 10-speed automatic will be available depending upon engine choice. The Mustang will continue to be offered in both hardtop coupe and soft top convertible bodystyles. The Mustang’s rethought cockpit includes an available 13.2-inch display that’s part of a large curved screen that extends over the center stack area. The system also replaces traditional knobs for climate and radio control with touchscreen “buttons.” Sales of the new pony car should begin sometime during summer, 2023.
