The 2018 model of the Ford Mustang may have a facelift and a new transmission option, but it otherwise remains mostly unchanged. The EcoBoost Coupe replaces the older model, featuring a powerful 2.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that produces 310 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. The EcoBoost comes equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, and it is the least powerful of the three available trims. It gets an estimated mpg of 21 city and 31 highway. The most powerful of the three trims is the GT Premium, which is powered by 5-liter V8 engine capable of producing 460 hp and 420 lb-ft torque. It also has a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, but it's estimated mpg is lower than the EcoBoost's. The GT Premium has an EPA estimated fuel efficiency of 15 mpg city and 25 mpg highway. Features include ventilated leather seats, steering wheel controls, a SYNC 3 infotainment system, a 12.4-inch display screen, and driving modes. Safety is comprised of a lane-departure warning system, a rearview camera, 4-wheel ABS brake system, front and side airbags, ventilated disc brakes, dusk-sensing LED headlamps, and stability and traction control. A 3-year/36,000 mile basic warranty backs it.
