Ford Mustang

What is the Ford Mustang?

The Mustang is Ford’s sporty coupe and convertible, known for its long bonnet, short rear deck and performance-focused character. Ford introduced it in 1964, and it became one of the company’s best-known models. The Mustang helped establish the pony-car style: a sporty-looking car with a distinctive shape and an everyday role.

The name has endured through successive generations, with the Mustang eventually reaching buyers beyond the United States. Its design has changed over the years, while the coupe and convertible forms have remained part of its identity.

Fuel consumption

The lowest listed EU consumption is 9.1 L/100 km on WLTP. The UK low is 8 L/100 km on NEDC, and France’s 2026 listing gives 11.2 L/100 km WLTP. In the USA, the lowest listed figure is 9 L/100 km on the EPA test, with a best combined rating of 26 MPG. Canada’s lowest listed figure is 9.1 L/100 km under NRCan 5-cycle testing. WLTP and NEDC in Europe, EPA in the USA and 5-cycle testing in Canada use different procedures, so results are best read within their own markets.
