Sporty, smart, and swift, the 2022 Ford Mustang and the 2022 Toyota Supra are some of America’s best-loved sports cars. Both look great and are fun to drive, but the Mustang has an edge over the Supra in a variety of ways. Read on to discover how these two favorites among speed demons compare.
Power
If you’re buying a sports car, it has to have plenty of power, and the Mustang delivers. The 2022 Mustang has more powerful engines than the Supra, even at the lowest trim level. The 2.3 turbo 4-cylinder Mustang delivers 310 hp and 350 lbs.-ft. of torque. In Car and Driver tests, the Ford Mustang EcoBoost Fastback was significantly faster than the Supra—clocking in 4.6 seconds to be exact. With confidence-boosting stability and incredible braking performance, the Mustang speaks to sporty drivers looking for a thrill every time they get behind the wheel.
Appearance
While aesthetics is a matter of taste, it’s clear that the Mustang has the edge over the Supra in terms of appearance. The 2022 Mustang is sleek and bold all at once, while the Supra features a more angular look. The Mustang has a distinctive fastback roofline with a long, aggressive front end that’s as iconic as the name “Mustang” itself. While the Supra will turn heads, it just doesn’t have that same recognition factor in terms of design, and the hard lines of the overall look are a hit or miss for most people.
Comfort
When it comes to a comfortable ride, the Mustang beats the Supra once again. You get seating for four in the Mustang, compared to only two in the Supra. The roomy Mustang also has 31.9 cubic feet more passenger volume than the Supra—82.8 for the Mustang versus 50.9 for the Supra. There’s also more legroom, hip room, and front shoulder room in the Mustang, so you get all the speed and fun without sacrificing comfort.
Safety
The Mustang also outshines its rival, the Supra, in terms of safety features. Blind spot warning systems come standard in the Mustang, as well as a rear cross-path warning system. The front seat shoulder belts of the Mustang also provide an extra layer of safety for driver and passenger. They have pretensioners to eliminate slack in the event of a collision. The Supra simply doesn’t have these features, or they cost extra. Overall, the Mustang is the safer choice.
Suspension and Handling
A smooth ride and more stable handling are important qualities every sports car should have. The Mustang’s wheelbase is 9.9 inches longer than the Supra’s, providing a smoother ride. The track, or width between the wheels, is also wider in the Mustang, offering better handling and stability.
The 2022 Ford Mustang Outshines the Competition
There’s really no comparison between the 2022 Ford Mustang and the 2022 Toyota Supra—the Mustang simply is a better vehicle all around.
