The 2023 Ford Mustang represents a long-running nameplate that has been a pillar in the performance car segment. The coupe and convertible iterations of the vehicle have persisted over the years and have culminated in the 2023 Ford Mustang. The latest model year outing is a feature-rich vehicle that leaves nothing to be desired by those looking for a sports car that has performance for days and the iconic style that has helped Ford's pony car maintain such a high standing among those who want an affordable, great-looking sports car.
The 2023 Mustang retains many of the great features from the 2022 model year outing but makes some slight changes to the exterior color lineup. While Cyber Orange Metallic Tri-Coat and Brittany Blue Metallic are no longer available, there are still plenty of different colors to choose from for the 2023 model year, including the premium Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat. It's joined by other notable colors such as Atlas Blue Metallic, Oxford White, Race Red, Carbonized Gray Metallic, Iconic Silver Metallic, Dark Matter Gray Metallic, Shadow Black, and Grabber Blue Metallic.
You can get this fastback or convertible sports car in a number of different trims as well, each one offering you something to meet your driving preferences as well as your budget. The 2023 Mustang is available in six distinct trims, which can also be customized in a number of different configurations. The lineup starts with the EcoBoost, which is followed by the EcoBoost Premium, the GT, the GT Premium, the Mach 1, and finally, the Mach 1 Premium.

Affordable performance has always been a big selling point for the Ford Mustang. It has always offered a selection of different powertrains, ensuring that shoppers aren't priced out of the market for the pony car. For 2023, the Ford Mustang features three different engines available for different kinds of drivers, all in rear-wheel drive format. These range from a fuel-conscious yet capable turbocharged four-cylinder all the way up to a powerful V8.
The base 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged inline four-cylinder produces up to 330 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. This power plant is available with a six-speed manual transmission or can be paired with an optional 10-speed automatic transmission. You can also have the EcoBoost configured in an optional 3.55 limited-slip differential. This engine provides the best fuel economy, offering up to 22 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway.
The available 5.0-liter Coyote V8 in the GT trims provides more horsepower and torque, giving you better performance to make use of while out on the road. The 5.0-liter V8 provides 450 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque, which offers you a lot more than what you would get with the base trim. Of course, you have to consider whether you want performance or better fuel economy. However, if you're only concerned with maximizing the performance of your Mustang, the upgraded 5.0-liter Coyote V8 for the Mach 1 trim provides the highest output at 470 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque.
The 2023 Mustang offers multiple drive modes, including Normal, Slippery, Sport, Track, and Drag Strip options, so you can make the most of the car's capabilities based on where you're driving and how you drive. The inclusion of the MagneRide electronic damping system also works to provide drivers with the smoothest ride possible, so you do not need to feel every bump, pebble, or rough patch of road you ride across. With the AdvanceTrac system with electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes, and traction control, you not only have a powerful performance car but one that is expertly engineered to handle well on the road, so you can enjoy burnouts just as well as a casual Sunday drive.
Many vehicles out there are known to be fast, responsive, or efficient, but that doesn't always mean that those features translate into being stylish or visually appealing. The 2023 Ford Mustang is a vehicle that takes style seriously and marries the concept of a great-handling vehicle with a great-looking vehicle, as has been the case for the multiple generations that define the Mustang's legacy.
On the exterior, you have multiple color and style options that help highlight the sporty silhouette of the Mustang in all its glory. You can also pair the various trims with 16 different wheel options. Some of the wheel options include 17-inch standard wheels, 18-inch machined-face wheels, and 19-inch luster-nickel painted aluminum wheels. All of the different wheel designs give you a sense of personalization when it comes to customizing and outfitting the 2023 Mustang as your very own performance car.
An aggressive front fascia with a black mesh grille and the Mustang logo tells you everything you need to know about this car. Available LED signature lighting, dual exhaust, and active valve performance exhaust all help add to the appeal of the Mustang, while a dual-vented hood and muscle car-inspired curves fuse the new with the old. The 2023 Mustang is also available as either a two-door fastback coupe or a two-door convertible. This gives you options in how you tackle your favorite driving routes, whether you want a hardtop to keep out the outside noise or a convertible to feel the wind in your hair and the sun on your face.
If you want the ultimate production-model racing machine out of Ford's pony car, the Mach 1 delivers that track experience for road travel. It's also designed to look the part through and through, especially with its black and orange racing stripes, performance-themed front fascia, vented grille design for improved aerodynamics, and an air dam that sits above the front splitter. The Mach 1 also comes with special badging throughout the vehicle's design, ensuring no one forgets exactly what kind of Mustang it is.
Everyone expects the Mustang to be a high-performance vehicle, but keep in mind that the 2023 Mustang is also a highly comfortable and content-rich car. It seats up to four people across the front and rear seats. You have access to a six-way power driver seat and four-way power front passenger seat with lumbar support. The seating is also available in cloth, ActiveX, or leather. The added heated and ventilated seats, accent-stitched center console, and heated steering wheel all give the Mustang added luxury appeal for those who want their pony to be both fast and comfortable.
Behind the wheel, there is a segment-defining 12-inch fully-configurable LCD digital driver display, enabling you to take full advantage of the latest in modern instrument clusters by customizing it to display the information you feel is important. You can even customize the driver display in synchronization with the different drive modes for a truly personalized driving experience.
The center console also plays host to an eight-inch HD digital touchscreen, where you have access to the Ford SYNC 3 infotainment suite, complete with connectivity for your smart devices via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With enhanced voice recognition, you can also give commands and access your favorite media without even touching the screen, dials, or knobs. What's more is that with the ability to modify the infotainment layout of the Mustang, you can make use of features like Track Apps, which gives you performance feedback and telemetry via the instrument cluster.
The 2023 Ford Mustang also comes packed with all the latest in the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite, so you have the latest in active driver-assist technology while you're on the road. This includes everything from a Lane-Keeping System to Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking. The infotainment suite also integrates with the FordPass App, so you can easily schedule maintenance, remotely access your vehicle, and even keep track of vehicle health from your smartphone. It creates a seamless synergy between the devices you love and the car you love to drive.
