“I love the Ford Mustang is such a fun car to drive it really looks sharp on the road and I feel good in it! I did change the radio system with a backup camera which it didn't come with. Backup camera/radio was expensive to get installed!”
2014 Ford Mustang: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2014 Ford Mustang is the loss of the Boss 302. Otherwise, this final year of the fifth-generation Mustang is a light update, with revised gauge graphics, appearance-package changes, and standard heated front seats for the Shelby GT500.
About the 2014 Ford Mustang
5th generation Mustang (S197), final year of the 2010-2014 facelifted version; last year before the all-new 2015 redesign.
Ford positions the 2014 Mustang as an emotional, rear-drive performance car that can be anything from a strong everyday coupe or convertible to a serious V8 muscle car. The lineup’s appeal is its range: a 305-hp V6, a 5.0-liter GT, and the supercharged Shelby GT500, all wrapped in unmistakable Mustang styling. Compared with rivals, the Mustang leans hard on heritage, strong straight-line performance, coupe-or-convertible choice, and a broad spread of personalities from everyday sporty to extreme.
The 2014 lineup stretches from the 305-hp V6 to the 420-hp GT, with Premium versions adding leather seats, upgraded audio, ambient lighting, and a configurable gauge display. At the top, the Shelby GT500 pairs a supercharged 662-hp V8 with large Brembo front brakes and a specially tuned suspension. Coupes and convertibles retain rear-wheel drive and the previous solid-rear-axle design.
