To celebrate the anniversary of this legendary car, the 2025 lineup adds to its storied legacy to the Ford Mustang. This is the second year for the seventh generation model, which carries on the tradition of cool the classic has always had—let’s break down all the details on this iconic sports coupe!
Key Takeaways:
- The Ford Mustang is 60! It’a celebrating with some with some design changes reflecting 1960s heyday.
- There are plenty of options in the lineup to meet your budget—its 14 trims range from about $31,920 to $68,275.
- An over-the-air update allows you to make digital versions of the 1967 and 1987 gauge clusters.
What Changes Have Been Made to the 2025 Ford Mustang?
The Mustang’s last big muscle car rivals, the Dodge Challenger and the Chevy Camaro are no more, leaving the Ford Mustang the last classic muscle standing. There was no need for a redesign in this instance, but the automaker went ahead and gave it a refresh in 2024.
In 2025, the Mustang continues in this direction—there are anniversary editions of GT coupes and convertibles. Cosmetic changes have been made in celebration as well, such as 20-inch wheels with red aluminum center caps. There’s also a new retro-looking digital gauge cluster that can mimic the analog panel on the 1967 model, which is available through an over-the-air update for all models from 2024 and later. (Should you prefer the 80s, the 1987 gauge panel is also available in this manner.)
Ford has even added a new trim—the GTD. Modeled after the Mustang GT3 race car, the GTD features adjustable dampers, pushrod-actuated suspension, a rear transaxle, and supercharged 5.2-liter V8 kicking out a whopping 800 horsepower!
Is the 2025 Ford Mustang Powerful?
The Mustang’s other trims are equally as meaty. The base trim features a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission that delivers 315 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque.
The 5.0-liter V-8 will really get your heart pumping! It can be paired with either the ten-speed automatic or a six-speed manual tranny cranks out a highly respectable 480 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. Ford has also given potential owners the optional performance exhaust delivering 486 horsepower and 418 pound-feet of torque.
But wait, there’s more! Don’t sleep on the track-focused Mustang Dark Horse—it uses a version of the 5.0-liter V-8 that packs a punch with 500-horsepower, adaptive dampers and 19-inch Pirelli P Zero PZ4 tires. Also available are Pirelli Trofeo RS tires thanks to the trim’s optional handling package.
Is the Interior of the 2025 Ford Mustang Comfortable?
This year’s model pays homage to the Mustang’s heyday while cleverly styled for the 21st-century. Retro touches are everywhere, including in the 2025 Mustang’s 12.4-inch instrument cluster—its display can be configured to your liking with several colors, gauges, and a “calm” screen that reveals only bare bones details (for some buyers, less is more.)
Even in the lower trims, the Mustang’s cloth seats are plush. Micro-suede vinyl optional, while the Premium trim adds stitching. There’s even a “Remote Rev” function, allowing the Mustang’s engine to rev from a distance, so you can impress passers-by.
There's also a large 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen system when you’re in the mood for connection and communication or entertainment—it sits more toward the center of the dash behind a panel with curved glass. It features Ford’s Sync 4 software with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, and you have the option of a wireless phone charger.
