The 2021 Ford Mustang is a petrol coupe with RWD and seating for 4. It belongs to the S550 LCI generation. The EcoBoost 2.3 is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured EcoBoost 2.3 version develops 310 hp and 475 Nm (350 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 5.1 seconds, which is decisively quick for everyday road use. Top speed is listed at 233 km/h (145 mph). Its power output is about 31% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 23% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 9.2 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 61.0 litres (16.1 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 210 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,794 mm (188.7 in) in length, 1,916 mm (75.4 in) in width, and 1,381 mm (54.4 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,720 mm (107.1 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 383 litres (13.5 cu ft). The cabin is configured for 4 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,600 kg (3,527 lb). That cargo volume is about 6% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol coupe models from the same period, the 2021 Ford Mustang is strongest on price, while power and acceleration stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
