Approach the 2024 Ford Mustang like it’s a brand-new car, and it doesn’t look like anything else on the road. It’s a big, wide, low two-door coupe with a long hood and a sleek roofline. In a world where most people buy SUVs, and even most performance cars are everyday hatchbacks and sedans with bigger engines, the Mustang stands apart.
The Mustang introduced the “EcoBoost” four-cylinder turbo engine back in 2015, and it’s still the base engine today. For 2024, it makes 315 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque and comes paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. So equipped, the Mustang should roar to 60 mph in less than 5.5 seconds – excellent performance for a base model. An optional feature lets you custom-tune the exhaust volume.
Ford kept the performance lively while improving gas mileage. It now gets an EPA-estimated 22 mpg in the city, 33 mpg on the highway.
