Context
Why does this story matter?
Ford is one of the largest automakers based out of the US, and the Mustang has been one of its iconic models across the globe. The fastback made its debut in 1964 and quickly became the go-to 'Muscle Car' of the era. The seventh-generation vehicle will sport some subtle changes, while still carrying forward the original design philosophy associated with the legendary car.
Exteriors
The car will have LED headlights and round exhausts
The new-generation Ford Mustang will flaunt the typical coupe silhouette with a sloping roofline, a long and muscular bonnet, tri-bar LED headlights, a trapezoidal front grille, a wide air dam, and a front splitter. It will be flanked by ORVMs, black B-pillars, flared wheel arches, and designer alloy wheels. Signature, three-slatted LED taillamps and circular exhaust tips will grace the rear.
Information
It will be offered with two powertrain options
The upcoming Ford Mustang should be backed by a 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbo-petrol engine and a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 petrol mill, both of which will be linked to hybrid setups. Transmission duties should be handled by 6-speed manual and 10-speed automatic gearboxes.
Interiors
It will house a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster
The interiors of the upcoming Mustang are under the wraps. However, we expect it to get a four-seater cabin with a redesigned dashboard, automatic climate control, and a multifunctional steering wheel. The four-wheeler should pack a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment with support for the latest connectivity options. The passengers' safety will be ensured by multiple airbags, ABS, and EBD.
