Ford’s legendary pony car continues its long-held tradition of performance into the 2020 model year. With the Mustang’s wide range of reliable engines and engaging handling, you can expect great things from this remarkable steed. Stay with us as we reveal five things you should know about the 2020 Mustang.
- Four Unique Trims
You’ve got fine options with the new Mustang. From the energetic GT convertible to the all-new Shelby GT500, there’s one model that’s ideal for you. The automobile is available in four main trims: the base EcoBoost, the EcoBoost Premium, the GT, and the GT Premium. You can also order the 2020 Mustang with either a fastback coupe or the convertible body style, or special edition variants like the BULLITT.
- Exciting Power
At the heart of every Mustang is a high-powered engine. Ford offers four primary powertrain options, which means every 2020 trim comes with formidable performance under the hood. The standard 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine generates 310 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. In contrast, the superior V-8 is available in a 5.0-liter option and two 5.2-liter picks — the 5.2L Ti-VCT V8 supplying 526 horsepower.
The Shelby GT500 comes standard with the other 5.2-liter V-8, which is the supercharged version that produces a whopping 760-horsepower and 625 pound-feet of torque. This powertrain is mated to a seven-speed gearbox to deliver exhilarating power and a top speed of 186 mph, making it Ford’s fastest production engine ever.
- Thrilling Cockpit
The contemporary Mustang features a classic muscle-car 2+2 configuration but with enhanced convenience in the front seats. Now, the driver gets to enjoy as much space as passengers. What’s more, your long drives in the 2020 Mustang will feel more comfortable thanks to well-bolstered seats — though Ford ditched the rear seats on the performance-oriented Shelby models. Move up the trim levels and get excellent niceties such as six-way power-adjustable bucket seats and leather upholstery as well as heated, ventilated front seats.
- Performance-Oriented Options
Acceleration isn’t the only thing that makes this sports car a blast to own. With multiple drive modes, the 2020 Mustang sets you up for an adrenaline-filled performance. It’s light on its feet with Normal, Sport, Track, Snow, and Wet settings, depending on the situation.
Ford’s available Track Apps let you view several performance metrics on your instrument panel, while the optional MagneRide automatic adaptive suspension further dials in performance. The MagneRide delivers an engaging yet comfortable ride, with athletic cornering and excellent feedback from the road.
- Smart Technology
Stay connected on the track or the highway with the available SYNC 3 infotainment system, which offers tech-challenged drivers simple layouts and user-friendly menus. The system includes an 8-inch touch screen, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay, plus available navigation and the class-exclusive 12-inch digital cluster.
FordPass Connect is now standard for 2020. This app allows drivers to remotely lock and unlock the car, start the engine, locate the Mustang in a crowded parking lot, and more.
These are just a few things you need to know about the 2020 Mustang. Head to your local Ford showroom for a complete tour and test drive.
