The 2022 Ford Mustang is a petrol coupe with RWD and seating for 4. It belongs to the S550 LCI generation. The Mach 1 5.0 V8 is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Mach 1 5.0 V8 version develops 480 hp and 569 Nm (420 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 4.0 seconds, which is seriously quick. Top speed is listed at 267 km/h (166 mph). Its power output is about 18% above the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 14% quicker 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 12.8 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 61.0 litres (16.1 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 292 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 1,770 kg (3,902 lb). That cargo volume is about 7% above 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.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of GT 5.0 V8 and Mach 1 5.0 V8. Across the range, the specifications span 460 hp to 480 hp and 4.0 s to 4.2 s, while listed starting prices run from $37,280-$53,250. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol coupe models from the same period, the 2022 Ford Mustang is strongest on power and acceleration. 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.
