Unraveling the Nitty-Gritty Details of the 2020 Ford Mustang

With its iconic pony-car styling, excellent performance-oriented packages, and an ingenious blend of livability and athleticism, the 2020 Ford Mustang has evolved into one of the best-selling sports coupes of the 21st century.

The 2020 Mustang reiteration debuted in the last quarter of 2019 with a raft of updates and multiple trim levels. The redesigned Mustang comes in eleven trim levels and two body styles: a coupe and a convertible. Those with a coupe body style include the EcoBoost, EcoBoost Premium, GT, GT Premium, Bullitt, and Shelby. All Mustangs except the base GT and Bullitt are available in a convertible body style.

Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)

Regarding the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, the base Mustang EcoBoost fastback coupe with the standard inline-4 engine starts at $26,670. The Mustang GT model with a V-8 engine retails at $35,60 while the convertible version starts at $32,170. All models but the GT500 use a 6-speed manual gearbox system, with an optional 10-speed automatic going for an extra $1,595.
If you’re limited on budget, then the Bullitt that starts at $47,705 is a great pick. But if money allows, we’d recommend opting for the chart-topping Shelby GT500 starting at $72,900. The GT500 combines a supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 engine with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission to whip out 775 horsepower and 670 pound-feet of torque.

2020 Mustang vs. the Competition

The redesigned Mustang enters the souped-up coupe segment that’s steaming with competition from the likes of the Chevrolet Camaro, Dodge Challenger, Toyota 86, and Subaru BRZ. Two of its closest rivals are the Camaro and Challenger, but the Mustang doesn’t struggle that much to show that it’s the truest muscle beast in the class.

Powertrain

The Mustang’s base 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine outshines all of the rivals in output. It generates 310 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque against the Camaro’s 275 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque and the Challenger’s 305 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque.

Interior Amenities

The Mustang affords better interior features than both the Camaro and Challenger. For instance, the EcoBoost Premium and GT Premium trims have an all-digital 12-inch gauge cluster, but you’ll find no such offering in any of its competitors.

Furthermore, all Mustangs except the base trim get the SYNC 3 infotainment system that’s compatible with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Amazon Alexa. On the contrary, its rivals lack Alexa compatibility and can’t support voice commands.

Fuel Economy

The base Mustang also outperforms its competitors in the fuel economy arena. Its EPA-estimated fuel economy rating stands at 21 mpg city and 31 mpg highway. Conversely, the base Camaro is EPA-estimated at 20 mpg city and 30 mpg highway, while the Challenger has an EPA-estimated 19 mpg city and 30 mpg highway.

Driver-Assistance Technology

The NHTSA has awarded the revamped Mustang a cool five-star rating for its unparalleled safety and driver-assistance features. One of its outstanding safety features is the ABS anti-lock brakes for modulating the brake pressure under extreme braking. This safety mechanism enhances your car’s ability to turn while braking.

The latest Mustang is well-appointed to meet every driver’s timeless desire for the thrill and feel of a fast muscle car. It has more than enough power, speed, and purr to take you wherever you want. Visit Cloninger Ford Of Morganton today and let our dedicated team help you pick the ideal Mustang of your dreams.
