2019 Ford Mustang GT Premium

The 2019 Mustang is Ford's iconic pony car, offered as a coupe or convertible with a choice of turbocharged four-cylinder, V6, V8, and high-performance V8 engines. It goes head-to-head with the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, offering a blend of heritage, style, and performance that keeps it a top pick in the muscle car segment. The Mustang delivers strong acceleration and a thrilling soundtrack, especially with the V8, while the available drive modes let you tailor the experience from relaxed to track-ready. Inside, the cabin features a driver-focused layout with supportive seats, though some plastics feel less premium than rivals, and rear seat space is tight for adults. Standard tech includes a 4.2-inch screen, while higher trims offer an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus available adaptive cruise control and a 12-inch digital cluster. The GT Premium adds leather seats, climate control, and the 8-inch Sync 3 screen over the base GT, while skipping the Bullitt's 20 extra horsepower and retro touches. Under the hood is Ford's 5.0L V8 making 460 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed manual and rear-wheel drive, which returns 18 mpg combined. The standard manual transmission includes rev-matching and launch control, and the Selectable Drive Modes let you tailor throttle, steering, and stability calibration.
