“The Mustang Mach E is a wonderful vehicle. A powerful, comfortable, quiet ride with good range. Fit and finish is excellent, the interface is intuitive and it has a great audio system as well. A joy to drive! So much better than other alternatives.”
2024 Ford Mustang: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2024 Ford Mustang is an all-new, seventh-generation redesign. Its biggest changes are fresh styling, a screen-heavy cabin, updated engines, and the debut of the track-focused Dark Horse.
About the 2024 Ford Mustang
7th gen (2024-present), first year of the S650 generation.
Ford positions the Mustang as an iconic American sports car that still offers real variety: turbo or V8 power, coupe or convertible body styles, everyday usability, and a strong link to racing. Its core appeal is simple and emotional — rear-wheel-drive performance, unmistakable styling, and a driver-focused cabin — but the 2024 redesign adds more modern digital tech so it feels current without giving up the traditional Mustang personality buyers expect.
The lineup runs from the everyday, 315-hp EcoBoost to the classic 480-hp GT, with Premium versions adding heated and ventilated seats and other comfort upgrades. At the top of the regular lineup, the new 500-hp Dark Horse adds adaptive suspension, upgraded brakes and extra cooling for harder track driving.
What changed, by category

Powertrain
