2015 Ford Mustang: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2015 Ford Mustang is a full redesign and the first year of its sixth generation. Its biggest change is the move to an all-new body and fully independent rear suspension, joined by a modernized cabin and a new turbocharged EcoBoost model.
About the 2015 Ford Mustang
6th generation (2015-2023), first year of the redesign
For 2015, Ford positions the Mustang as a true everyday sports car with classic long-hood styling, rear-wheel drive, and a choice of V6, turbo four-cylinder, or V8 power. The big appeal is that buyers can pick the flavor they want without losing the core Mustang character: bold design, strong straight-line performance, available open-top driving, and a cockpit that feels more modern than earlier Mustangs. Its edge versus rivals is the mix of heritage styling, broad powertrain choice, and improved handling from the new rear suspension.
The 2015 lineup spans the straightforward V6, the turbocharged four-cylinder EcoBoost models, and the V8-powered GT and GT Premium. Premium trims add heated and cooled leather seats and an 8-inch touchscreen, while the one-year GT 50 Years Limited Edition pairs the V8 with upgraded brakes, performance-tuned suspension, navigation, premium audio, and unique anniversary details.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The new EcoBoost and EcoBoost Premium trims bring a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine to the lineup. The GT’s 5.0-liter V8 increases from 420 to 435 horsepower and from 390 to 400 lb-ft of torque.
Styling
The Mustang receives completely redesigned fastback and convertible bodies, along with a new interior design. HID headlights are standard across the lineup.
Safety
A rearview camera becomes standard across the lineup.
Tech
Push-button start becomes standard throughout the range. The GT Premium also makes its 8-inch touchscreen, heated front seats, and dual-zone climate control standard.
Structural
A fully independent rear suspension replaces the previous solid rear axle, changing how each rear wheel responds to bumps and helping the car feel more composed.

2015 Ford Mustang Reviews
What owners are saying about the 2015 Ford Mustang.
4.4
2015 Ford Mustang
(278 reviews)
“One annoyance is that the steering wheel controls are backwards. Speed controls are on the left should be right. I have a manual transmission, need driving focus on one hand, the right hand to shift and adjust speed control. Otherwise I am enjoying the car more than any other I have ever owned.”
“I really like my 2015 Ford Mustang. It’s been everything I hoped it would be and more.”
