Since 1964, the Ford Mustang has remained one of the most iconic yet drivable sports cars on the market. This year’s model brings even more to the table with great performance, even better safety ratings, and so much more. Here are 6 reasons the 2025 Ford Mustang is one of this year’s can’t-miss rides.

1. 315-HP Turbo 4-Cylinder Engine
The Mustang wouldn’t be a muscle car without some power behind its pedal, and the 2.3L turbocharged EcoBoost engine doesn’t disappoint. It delivers a solid 315 horses and 350 lb-ft of torque, so you can enjoy optimal road performance even with the base trim. Plus, this engine is coupled with a 10-speed automatic transmission with smooth-as-silk shifting you don’t even have to think about.
2. Standard Dual-Zone Climate Control
The 2025 Mustang enhances the cabin experience this year by making dual-zone climate control standard for the base trim. This feature allows the driver and passenger to change the temperature on their side of the vehicle independently, making arguments over the heating and air conditioning a problem of the past.
3. 12.4-Inch Driver Instrument Cluster with Calm Mode
Drivers can expect a major improvement to the instrument cluster from last year’s model. The 12.4-inch touchscreen is easy to reach and offers dozens of configuration options to allow for complete customization of the driving experience. There is also a “calm” screen that pares the visuals down to only the bare necessities, so distractions remain at a minimum.
4. Adequate Storage Capacity
If you’re concerned about cargo space with the Mustang’s sleek body styling, you needn’t be. With 13 cubic feet of space, you don’t have to give up looking sleek to have enough room for everyday things like groceries, sports equipment, or a couple of carry-on suitcases.
5. Multiple Standard Safety Features
For drivers who don’t want to compromise safety for aesthetics, the 2025 Mustang is a great choice. It boasts the highest 5-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and has multiple features that are standard with the base trim, like:
- Automatic emergency braking
- Lane-keep assist
- Forward collision warning
- Pedestrian detection
- Blind spot monitoring
