New Details About the 2024 Mustang Post

Mustang fans rejoice—the next generation of the Ford Mustang, the S650, has been confirmed by the Blue Oval, set to hit the streets in 2024. The S650 is set to replace the successful S550 generation, well-known for its incredible styling, impressive power, and well-designed performance suspension. The 2024 Ford Mustang will attempt to keep the pony-car spirit alive by refining many of the characteristics of the popular outgoing model. Let’s look at what’s set to make the 2024 Ford Mustang so special.

A Refreshed Exterior

Spy photos have revealed that the 2024 Mustang will have a slight exterior refresh, retaining its characteristic long hood, low roofline, and short tail, but with sharper, almost-retro styling. While similar in form to the S550, the S650 will have refreshed details like all-new bumpers, lights, and front fascia.

Electric Possibilities

Ford officials have already confirmed the new Mustang will offer a V-8 engine—possibly an electric one. Will it be a hybrid-electric or fully electric engine? Those details are still up in the air, but with Ford’s recent move into the electric vehicle space with the F-150 Lightning, it’s likely that an electric Ford Mustang will follow. Driving enthusiasts have no reason to fret; however, as the pony car is set to offer a V-8 and a manual, for the time being.

A New Platform

While Ford is carrying over its current set of engines for the 2024 Mustang, the pony car’s platform is set to be all-new from the ground up. Speculation suggests that Ford will adapt its successful CD6 platform for the new Mustang, with new underpinnings that open the possibility of an all-new suspension setup. Since the CD6 underpins large SUVs like the Explorer, the adoption of this large platform near-guarantees that the new Mustang will grow in size.

AWD

As mentioned above, the adoption of the CD6 platform means that new Mustangs could potentially incorporate an all-wheel-drive system like that found in the Explorer. The addition of an AWD variant makes the Mustang more appealing for drivers who live in colder regions, allowing it to go head-to-head with the Dodge Charger AWD, which is the only AWD muscle car on the market today.

Pricing

The 2024 Ford Mustang is rumored to have a starting price of around $30,000—an affordable price for a powerful sports car. You’ll be able to choose from several available trim levels, including a GT version that will pack a V-8 engine. Expect to pay $40,000 and up for the GT, while Shelby performance models that feature a mighty 5.2-liter supercharged V-8 will start near $80,000.

Get Ready for the All-New 2024 Ford Mustang

Fans of the highly anticipated 2024 Ford Mustang can start placing their orders in 2023.
