2024 Ford Mustang

2024 Mustang Photos
Pros: Big power from all engines; many flavors; available convertible; just-for-fun features including Drift Brake and customizable displays; spacious trunk Cons: 10-speed auto not performance-oriented enough; limited customization of drive mode settings; rough ride with Performance pack; Convertible cowl shake With carmaker budgets increasingly going to electrification efforts, there have been numerous examples of models getting quasi-redesigns. The 2024 Ford Mustang is one of them. While Ford is calling it the seventh-generation Mustang, the underpinnings are shared with the old one, and you don’t have to look too closely to see the similarities in proportion and specification. It seems a lot more like the mid-generation changes for 1971, 1987 or 2010. Ultimately, though, whatever. The truth is, the outgoing Mustang was so good that a from-scratch redo wasn’t necessary. If anything, Ford could’ve just kept the status quo for a few more years. Instead, we get updated styling that’s more aggressive with sharper body lines and blacked-out detailing around the grille (one of its more controversial details). The interior sees the most significant and arguably necessary update, doing away with retro looks (apart from the totally rad “Fox Body” gauge design option) in favor of one that’s more modern and tech-focused without simply sticking a giant screen to the dash and calling it a day (unlike another Mustang). Ford’s renowned Coyote V8 gets 30 more horsepower in the GT, and manages a cool 500 hp in the new, range-topping Dark Horse that replaces and betters the Mach 1. The 2.3-liter EcoBoost gets an extra 5 horsepower, and there’s no longer a “High Performance Package (HPP) variant.” It’s now exclusively equipped with the 10-speed automatic, though a six-speed manual remains a (fantastic) option with the V8. And speaking of maxing out on fun behind the wheel, the 2024 Mustang introduces a pair of just-for-the-helluvit features: the Remote Rev function that lets you rev the engine with the key fob, and the wildly fun drift brake. There are plenty of other less noticeable updates for 2024, including a more composed suspension, a quicker steering rack and various smaller engine improvements beyond “more power.” It all adds up to a better Mustang, if not an entirely new one. Now, we’d normally take this opportunity to compare the car in question to others in the segment, but both the Camaro and Challenger have ceased production, leaving the original Pony car as the final Pony car (for now at least). Let’s just take a moment, then, to say that a quasi-redesign is definitely better than cancellation.
