2022 Ford Mustang: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2022 Ford Mustang is mostly a carryover, with no major lineup-wide update. The clearest equipment change is that fog lights went from standard to optional on the Mach 1.
About the 2022 Ford Mustang
6th generation (S550, 2015-2023), second-to-last model year before the 2024 redesign.
The 2022 Mustang is Ford’s rear-wheel-drive sports coupe and convertible built around choice: turbo four-cylinder efficiency at the bottom, classic 5.0-liter V8 sound and muscle in the middle, and serious track-focused hardware at the top. Ford sells it as a driver’s car first, with long-hood pony-car styling, an available manual transmission, and a broad range that can serve as an everyday cruiser, open-top weekend car, or track-day toy.
The lineup runs from the everyday turbocharged EcoBoost to the traditional V8-powered GT, with Premium versions adding heated and ventilated seats and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Mach 1 focuses on track driving with extra cooling, stronger brakes, and adaptive suspension, while the supercharged Shelby GT500 sits at the top for outright performance.
