2019 Ford Mustang: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2019 Ford Mustang is the return of the limited-edition BULLITT, a 480-hp V8 fastback with a six-speed manual. This is otherwise a light-update year that builds on the major 2018 refresh.
About the 2019 Ford Mustang
6th generation (S550, 2015-2023), second year after the 2018 refresh.
Ford positions the Mustang as an everyday sports car with a wide personality range: a turbo four-cylinder model for buyers who want the look and feel without stepping up to a V8, a GT for classic V8 sound and speed, and Shelby models for serious track use. What sets the Mustang apart is that it keeps rear-wheel drive, available convertible body styles, and a strong enthusiast identity while still being usable as a daily driver.
The lineup spans the everyday-friendly turbocharged EcoBoost, the classic 460-hp V8 GT, and the track-focused Shelby GT350 and GT350R. Premium models pair their engines with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and heated and cooled leather-trimmed seats, while the BULLITT combines subtle movie-inspired styling with upgraded brakes, a digital instrument display, and unique chassis tuning.

2019 Ford Mustang
(289 reviews)
“The 2019 Ford Mustang is a sporty machine of beauty, the new body style and easier top make this a breeze for the summer! Improved gas mileage, a larger trunk and better turning radius are all upgrades from the 2014 to 2018 models. Comfort and style is what we all want and now we can have it!”
“The car is fantastic overall the only issue I have with it is that sometimes when changing from park to drive the transmission tends to slip up and gives a little jerk but then fixes itself once you hit the break again.”
