This model lineup is engineered for drivers who seek measurable performance capabilities combined with functional design and updated features. The 2025 Ford Mustang® continues its role as a high-performance sports car by integrating a range of engine options, from efficient turbocharged engines to powerful naturally aspirated V8s, and a track-focused variant tailored for precision driving.
Suspension, Steering, and Handling Technologies
The 2025 Ford Mustang® is equipped with an independent rear suspension system. This design helps reduce body roll and improves handling response by allowing each rear wheel to move independently. Aluminum-alloy components in the suspension, such as knuckles and H-arms, reduce unsprung mass, which enhances wheel control and ride quality.
The optional MagneRide® Damping System is a magnetorheological shock absorber technology. It continuously adjusts the damping force up to 1,000 times per second, based on road conditions and driving inputs. This system improves ride comfort by softening the suspension on uneven surfaces while stiffening it during cornering or spirited driving. The MagneRide® system also includes pothole mitigation to minimize the impact of road irregularities.
Electric Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) allows the driver to select different steering feedback levels. Comfort mode reduces steering effort for easier maneuvering in urban environments. Sport mode increases steering resistance to provide greater road feedback and precision. Normal mode balances these settings for everyday driving needs.
Interior Layout and Technology Integration
Inside the 2025 Ford Mustang®, the cockpit integrates a 12.4-inch LCD digital instrument cluster with a 13.2-inch central touchscreen into a single curved glass display. The digital cluster provides customizable readouts such as speed, RPM, and engine performance metrics.
The center touchscreen hosts the SYNC® 4 infotainment system, which supports smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. SYNC® 4 provides voice command functionality, navigation, and wireless connectivity.
The 2025 Ford Mustang® offers available RECARO® performance seats engineered to provide lateral support during aggressive driving. These seats combine firm bolstering with cushioning to maintain comfort on longer drives. Other available comfort features include heated and cooled front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control.
The steering wheel is leather-wrapped and includes a flat-bottom design for ergonomic grip and improved legroom during spirited driving. Additional interior features include push-button start with remote engine revving functionality, which allows the driver to activate the engine sound from outside the vehicle using the key fob.
Engine Options and Powertrain Configuration
The 2025 Ford Mustang® EcoBoost® offers a selection of engines designed to meet varying performance requirements. The base engine for the EcoBoost® models is a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. It produces 315 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. This engine uses Modular Power Cylinder (MPC) technology to improve combustion efficiency and deliver consistent power output. The 2.3-liter engine pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission, designed to provide smooth and efficient gear shifts.
Higher-performance 2025 Ford Mustang® GT trims come equipped with a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter Ti-VCT V8 engine. This engine generates 480 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. The six-speed manual gearbox that comes standard with the 2025 Ford Mustang® GT has rev matching, which matches engine speed during downshifts to improve gear shift smoothness. An optional 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission is available. This automatic includes paddle shifters on the steering wheel, allowing the driver to manually control gear changes.
The 2025 Ford Mustang® Dark Horse™ variant features a modified 5.0-liter Gen-4 Coyote V8 engine. This engine is rated at 500 horsepower and 418 pound-feet of torque. The Dark Horse™ is equipped with a specialized TREMEC 6-speed manual transmission featuring no-lift shifting, which allows the driver to change gears without reducing throttle input. Rev matching is also incorporated, ensuring that engine speed aligns with transmission speed during downshifts to maintain stability.
Transmission and Drive Control Systems
The transmission options for the 2025 Ford Mustang® EcoBoost® are designed to provide particular driving experiences. The 2025 Ford Mustang® EcoBoost® models come standard with the 10-speed automatic transmission. This transmission employs electronically controlled gear changes optimized for fuel efficiency and smooth acceleration.
For the 2025 Ford Mustang® GT and 2025 Ford Mustang® Dark Horse™ models, manual transmissions provide more direct mechanical engagement. The 2025 Ford Mustang® Dark Horse™ manual transmission includes a titanium-anodized shift knob and is calibrated for high-performance use. It allows for aggressive driving techniques such as no-lift shifting, where the driver does not need to release the accelerator during gear changes.
The drive system of the 2025 Ford Mustang® has selectable drive modes that allow the vehicle's performance characteristics to be adjusted. Available modes include Normal, Sport, Slippery, Drag, and Track. Additionally, there is a customizable setting called MyMode, which lets the driver tailor throttle response, steering effort, and traction control to specific preferences. This system adjusts engine mapping, transmission behavior, and stability control settings to optimize performance for different driving conditions.
Aerodynamics and Exterior Design Features
The 2025 Ford Mustang® is offered as both a fastback coupe and a convertible. The fastback body shape is designed to improve aerodynamic efficiency by reducing drag and increasing downforce. This shape assists in improving high-speed stability and traction. The convertible provides an open-air driving option without compromising structural rigidity, utilizing reinforcements in the chassis to maintain handling characteristics.
The vehicle includes distinct aerodynamic components such as front splitters and rear spoilers that vary by trim and package. These components reduce lift and improve airflow around the vehicle. The lighting system of the 2025 Ford Mustang® includes sequential LED taillights and tri-bar LED headlamps. These lighting elements provide clear visibility and a distinctive appearance.
