In terms of fuel economy, the Mustang is fairly competitive in its class. The EcoBoost models deliver an EPA-estimated 21 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway, while the V8 models offer around 15 mpg city and 24 mpg highway.
Interior Features and Comfort
The Ford Mustang’s interior seamlessly combines style, comfort, and innovation. The spacious cabin comfortably seats four passengers, with ample legroom and headroom for a relaxed journey. The seats are upholstered in high-quality materials, with the option of leather in higher trims, and the front seats offer available heating and cooling features for optimum comfort. The driver-focused dashboard is intuitively designed, with all controls within easy reach.

Safety Features and Advanced Technology
When it comes to safety, the Ford Mustang doesn’t compromise. The vehicle comes standard with the Ford Co-Pilot360 – a suite of advanced safety features designed to protect you and your passengers. These include Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking that can help detect potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians in your path and automatically apply the brakes if necessary. The BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross Traffic Alert alerts you to vehicles detected in your blind spot or approaching from either side when you’re backing out.
In addition, there’s Lane-Keeping System that helps detect and alert you to unintentional lane departures. If you’re drifting out of your lane, the system can even apply steering torque assistance to help guide you back. There’s also Auto High-Beam Headlamps that can sense poor lighting conditions and switch on to light your path ahead.
As for technology, the Ford Mustang leads the pack. The aforementioned SYNC3 Infotainment system doesn’t just offer smartphone integration, but also voice-activated technology for hands-free control. You can use simple voice commands to make calls, select music, control navigation, and more. The infotainment system can also connect to FordPass, a mobile app that lets you start, lock, unlock, and locate your vehicle from virtually anywhere. With all these features, the Ford Mustang sets a high bar for safety and technology in its segment.
