Overview
According to rumors, the Ford Mustang might add a hybrid powertrain to the lineup in 2023, increasing its horsepower and fuel efficiency. We've put together a brief summary of what we hope for and anticipate based on the 2022 release. Let's take a look.
Trims
Until we know a little more, the current estimated range between trims is $28,000-$54,000.
- Ecoboost
- Ecoboost Premium
- GT
- GT Premium
- Mach 1
Power
The 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine in the Mustang, which now generates 330 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, will probably be transformed into a hybrid. We anticipate substantially better results and greater fuel economy, which is currently rated at 21/32 mpg, with some electronic aid. An electric 5-liter Coyote V-8 could be added to the 2023 Ford Mustang to boost its 470 horsepower, 420 lb-ft of torque, and 15/23 mpg. Although there are some reservations, Ford may drop the manual transmission this year or the following year.
