Has there ever been a more aptly named car than the Ford Mustang? Named after the fast, muscular, regal stallion – the Mustang lives up to its name. The 2022 Ford Mustang is another in a long line of success, dating all the way back to 1965. Continue reading to learn more about why the Mustang is such a special automobile.
Basics About the 2022 Ford Mustang
The 2022 Mustang is back with its classic power. There’s a
reason why it was voted one of the top performance coupes of 2022. It’s no
surprise that the Mustang packs a punch, with the base EcoBoost trim featuring
a 310 horsepower Mustang EcoBoost engine. The rest of the trim levels sure
don’t pull any punches.
The Mustang GT is equipped with a 5.0L V8 engine, delivering 450 horsepower.
The Mustang Mach-1 will also come equipped with the 5.0L V8 engine but ups the
horsepower to 470. Then there’s the GT500. This beast has a supercharged 5.2L
V8 engine under the hood and is pulling an insane 760 horsepower.
What’s New
New appearance packages, like the Ice White Edition, Stealth
Edition, and the Coastal Limited edition, are available this year. As the name
suggests, the Ice White Edition will be a whited-out mustang – even featuring
white rims. The Stealth Edition is equipped with sharp blacked-out accents and
features matching color options for the interior. The Coastal Limited Edition
has the perfect aesthetic of a “beach car”, with its convertible roof and
unique body accents.
Style Meets Grace
The Mustang will continue to boast its classic coupe look.
There are numerous exterior colors to choose from, a few being Rapid Red,
Oxford White, Shadow Black, Eruption Green, Atlas Blue, Mischievous Purple, and
Dark Matter Gray. The interior options are Dark Ceramic and Ebony. But if
you’re looking for that next-level look, then the special appearance packages
mentioned above are all great options.
What is all that style going to do if the ride is clunky? Well don’t fret, the
ride is as smooth as ever. With the GT’s 4.6 seconds 0-60 time, you may be
surprised to hear the Mustang can also take corners with precise efficiency.
The suspension system also provides for an even ride, eliminating harsh and
rough bumps.
Ford Technology
Ford’s motto is “Built Tough”, but maybe an addendum of “Built Smart” should be added. The Mustang is indeed built smart to match all of its brawn. The standard model features a modest yet adequate 4.2-inch screen display, which is increased to 8.0-inches in the GT and Mach 1 trims. With these displays, you can have a world of convenience with features like smartphone connectivity, ease of navigation, and easily accessible car support systems.
Safety systems, like the anti-lock braking system and the stability control system, are key technologies for road safety. The anti-lock braking system prevents your car from seizing wheel rotation in sudden braking, while the stability control system aids in the continued steady traction of the wheels to grant greater maneuverability and steering. With great power comes great responsibility and that is why Ford built the Mustang with strength and safety in mind.
Ford has a history of reliability, confidence in its manufacturing process, and creating attractive automobiles. The Mustang is a testament to all three of those qualities. Having the same standards when looking for a dealer will ensure your peace of mind in the car-shopping process.
