2025 Ford Mustang® in Shaker Heights, OH
The 2025 Ford Mustang® represents a continuation of Ford’s commitment to engineering progress, bringing refined performance, improved technology, and greater precision to one of the most recognizable sports cars on the road. This model is built to offer a balanced driving experience, combining proven powertrain technologies with updated digital systems and safety features.
Powertrain Configuration and Engine Performance
The 2025 Ford Mustang® offers a range of engine configurations designed to deliver consistent performance across a variety of driving conditions. The 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine serves as the base, utilizing turbocharging and direct injection to provide strong acceleration and fuel efficiency.
For those who require a naturally aspirated setup, the Mustang® GT carries forward the well-known 5.0-liter Coyote™ V8. This engine incorporates dual-fuel high-pressure direct injection and low-pressure port injection. Drivers can choose between a six-speed manual transmission or a ten-speed automatic transmission.
The Dark Horse™ model is the most track-oriented variant, using a uniquely tuned 5.0-liter V8 that delivers increased power and a higher redline. The Dark Horse™ benefits further from a TORSEN® limited-slip differential that improves traction under cornering and acceleration.
Chassis and Suspension Systems
The 2025 Ford Mustang® uses a robust chassis design centered on an independent rear suspension that allows each rear wheel to react individually to road irregularitie. The platform integrates a combination of lightweight aluminum components and high-strength steel to improve rigidity without adding unnecessary weight.
Models equipped with the available MagneRide® Damping System benefit from continuous suspension adjustments based on road conditions and driving inputs. Sensors monitor wheel and body movements, allowing the dampers to adjust fluid viscosity and maintain optimal ride control.
Brake and Steering Systems
Stopping performance is a critical element in a performance vehicle, and the 2025 Ford Mustang® addresses this with a range of braking configurations. The available Brembo® brake system features large rotors and multi-piston calipers.
The electric power-assisted steering system delivers variable effort depending on vehicle speed and selected drive mode. This allows the 2025 Ford Mustang® to provide lighter steering for parking maneuvers and heavier, more precise feedback during high-speed operation.
Exterior Function and Aerodynamics
The exterior design of the 2025 Ford Mustang® is shaped not only by aesthetic priorities but also by aerodynamic efficiency and cooling requirements. The front fascia features a functional grille and lower air intakes that direct airflow to critical cooling areas, including the radiator and brake ducts. The hood incorporates heat extractors on specific models, improving airflow management and reducing underhood temperatures.
At the rear, the diffuser and spoiler work together to manage airflow and increase downforce. Wheel and tire combinations are selected to match the intended use of each trim level, offering a range of options from all-season to high-performance summer tires.
Interior Technology and Ergonomic Layout
Inside the 2025 Ford Mustang®, the design focuses on providing the driver with an accessible, functional, and technology-forward environment. The 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster offers customizable display options. The available 13.2-inch SYNC® 4 touchscreen serves as the central interface for multimedia, navigation, and vehicle settings.
Physical controls are logically arranged to allow the driver to make adjustments without distraction. Optional Recaro® sport seats provide increased lateral support for performance driving, while the adjustable steering column and pedal positions help accommodate a wide range of driver sizes and preferences. Dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control is also available to maintain cabin comfort regardless of external conditions.
Connectivity and Digital Systems
The SYNC® 4 system integrated into the 2025 Ford Mustang® enables wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity, allowing seamless smartphone integration. The system supports over-the-air updates, which ensures that software improvements and new features can be delivered without requiring dealership visits. Cloud-based connectivity enhances voice recognition and provides access to real-time navigation updates.
An available B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen® delivers high-fidelity audio performance, complementing the driving experience without interfering with cabin functionality. Additionally, the FordPass® Connect system provides a Wi-Fi hotspot capability, supporting connectivity for up to 10 devices.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety is a critical element of the design, and Ford Co-Pilot360® provides a comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking monitors the road ahead to detect potential frontal collisions, while the Lane-Keeping System helps the driver maintain lane position through corrective steering input. The Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert improves situational awareness during lane changes and reversing maneuvers.
Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go adjusts vehicle speed to maintain a set following distance from traffic ahead. Rear Parking Sensors and a rearview camera further enhance maneuverability in tight spaces. The body structure of the 2025 Ford Mustang® incorporates strategically placed crumple zones and reinforced elements designed to manage crash energy and protect occupants.
