Ford’s iconic sports car, the Mustang, now comes with an EcoBoost engine in 2020. Here’s a look at the 4 top reasons you should drive away with a new Mustang.
-
Exterior Style
The 2020 Mustang EcoBoost pays homage to its history with the Fastback design. LED headlights with signature lighting, performance hood vents, LED sequential taillights, and Dual Bright exhaust with rolled polished tips turn heads coming and going.
You can upgrade to a blade decklid spoiler, performance rear wing, and a dual exhaust with quad tips for increased performance.
The Mustang rides on standard 17-inch Sparkle silver-painted aluminum wheels. Available machine-faced aluminum wheels with ebony pockets or low-gloss ebony painted pockets come in 18-inch or 19-inch sizes.

Power
The Mustang is powered by a 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged engine with twin independent variable cam timing. Paired with the 6-speed manual transmission this power plant pushes out 310 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque.
The manual transmission is aggressive, and short shifter throws smoothly glide through the gears for excellent launch and acceleration.
Ford’s Active Valve Exhaust systems allow you to control the noise level of your engine. Set it for Quiet Start in the mornings, or Sport for that thrilling roar. There’s also a Normal setting for everyday driving and a Track mode for when you feel like racing.
You can also opt for a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission. This automatic transmission is optimized for responsiveness and performance.

Performance
The Mustang comes standard with Selectable Power-Assist Steering, an Independent Rear Suspension, and monotube shocks with grippy bars and cross-axis suspension joints for superior control.
It also features Electronic Line Lock and Launch Control systems standard. These are for track use only.
You can add available Drive Modes, Stability Control systems, and Ford’s MagneRide Damping system for the ultimate performance. The MagneRide Damping system monitors the road with sensors that react 1,000 times per second to changing conditions. The result is a smooth ride over any surface.

Driver-Assist Features
The Mustang can be equipped with a suite of driver-assist features. A Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection uses advanced technology to identify and alert the driver to a potential collision. An Automatic Emergency Braking system will apply additional brake pressure in emergency situations to help mitigate or even avoid a potential collision.
Ford’s Forward Collision Warning system with Brake Support also uses this technology to help the driver avoid or mitigate a potential crash. A Lane Keeping system will monitor the vehicle’s path in marked lanes. When it detects a drift, it will alert the driver and even apply gentle steering correction to return the vehicle to its lane.
An Adaptive Cruise Control system will automatically adjust the Mustang’s speed based on the traffic ahead. When the way ahead clears, the system will automatically return the vehicle to its preset speed.
There’s a lot to like about the new Mustang EcoBoost. Come test drive one today, and see which reasons convince you to drive away with one.
