For a vehicle that seamlessly blends force, agility, and comfort, look no further than the 2023 Ford Mustang. For more than half a century, this sports car has been a staple on American roads, and this year, it reaches new heights of sophistication and power thanks to gutsy engines, impressive handling, and a suite of performance packages to get you whatever kind of drive you like. Here are just a few of our favorite features of this year’s model.
Robust Powertrain Options
When a V8 engine comes standard, you know you’re in for a treat, and the 310 horsepower turbocharged EcoBoost is no exception. Move up trims to experience a 2.3-liter V8 four-cylinder with 330 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, a 5.0-liter V8 with 450 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque, and another 5.0-liter V8 with a roaring 470 horsepower. The transmission is a standard six-speed manual, while a ten-speed automatic is available.
Outstanding, Athletic Handling
No matter what engine you go for, expect a controlled, springy drive that oozes confidence. The brakes are responsive and smooth as you tear down the highway, plus there are brilliant performance packages available to enhance your ride with features like larger brakes and adaptive suspension. The GT Performance Package in particular gets you some seriously fun driving, boasting perks like additional chassis bracing, Brembo front brakes, summer tires, and heavy-duty front springs.
A Cabin Where Contemporary Meets Classic
Stepping inside your Mustang is like stepping back in time; retro flourishes honor the Mustangs of days gone by. But amenities like heated and cooled front seats, push-button start, a heated steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic climate control plant this old-school car firmly in the 21st century. The seats are comfortable and supportive. Impressively, this car has more cargo space than many others in its class, affording you up to 13.5 cubic feet of room.
Technology That’s Easy To Use
Both the SYNC and the available SYNC 3 infotainment systems from Ford are straightforward and helpful. An array of good things come standard, including voice control, a six-speaker audio system, WiFi hot spot, and a 4.3-inch LCD screen. Upgrades include an 8-inch touchscreen, a nine or twelve-speaker audio system, navigation, and satellite radio. Numerous driver-assistance features, including blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and a rearview camera, also come standard.
For a car that’s fun to drive, charging with muscle, and looks great tearing down the highway, you can’t go past the 2023 Mustang. It’s a slice of history that just keeps getting better, and you’re not going to want to miss out on the action. To take one for a test drive, come to Joe Mahan Ford in Paris, TN, today
