Overall Rating

The 2018 model is the slightly redesigned version of the sixth generation vehicle and received mixed reviews with regards to the changes in the exterior design. The 2018 version of the Ford Mustang gets a lower placed hood with a more aggressive front clip and new vents.

If there is one American car that the entire world recognizes, it is undoubtedly the Ford Mustang. The Ford Mustang has been synonymous with North America and has been a part of American pop culture ever since the late ’60s, making it one of the most iconic cars in the world. The Ford Mustang is currently in its sixth generation that was introduced in 2015. 

The 2018 model is the slightly redesigned version of the sixth generation vehicle and received mixed reviews with regards to the changes in the exterior design. The 2018 Ford Mustang gets a lower placed hood with a more aggressive front clip and new vents. LED headlights are standard across the trim levels and you can also choose optional LED fog lamps. Other than that, Ford has added new color options, four new spoilers, new stripe decal options, new alloy wheel designs, a new customizable 12.0-inch digital instrument cluster with Track Apps, a heated leather steering wheel, and a revived interior trim.

The V-6 engine option has been removed from the engine lineup, while also revising the 2.3-liter Ecoboost inline-4 and 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engines so as to extract more power and better fuel efficiency from them. While the 6-speed automatic transmission option has been updated, the previously available six-speed automatic transmission option has been replaced by a 10-speed automatic transmission.

The 2018 model is the slightly redesigned version of the sixth generation vehicle and received mixed reviews with regards to the changes in the exterior design. The 2018 version of the Ford Mustang gets a lower placed hood with a more aggressive front clip and new vents.

Overview


If there is one American car that the entire world recognizes, it is undoubtedly the Ford Mustang. The Ford Mustang has been synonymous with North America and has been a part of American pop culture ever since the late ’60s, making it one of the most iconic cars in the world. The Ford Mustang is currently in its sixth generation that was introduced in 2015. 

The 2018 model is the slightly redesigned version of the sixth generation vehicle and received mixed reviews with regards to the changes in the exterior design. The 2018 Ford Mustang gets a lower placed hood with a more aggressive front clip and new vents. LED headlights are standard across the trim levels and you can also choose optional LED fog lamps. Other than that, Ford has added new color options, four new spoilers, new stripe decal options, new alloy wheel designs, a new customizable 12.0-inch digital instrument cluster with Track Apps, a heated leather steering wheel, and a revived interior trim.

The V-6 engine option has been removed from the engine lineup, while also revising the 2.3-liter Ecoboost inline-4 and 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engines so as to extract more power and better fuel efficiency from them. While the 6-speed automatic transmission option has been updated, the previously available six-speed automatic transmission option has been replaced by a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Pricing and Features
6.0/10


Some significant changes in the 2018 Mustang look like the carmaker have successfully addressed prior complaints regarding improvement in ride quality, while the major cake cherry is the Mustang's 5.0-liter V8 with 10-speed automatic. These significant upgrades get the Mustang a desirable and highly recommended pick for a muscle car. The 2018 Ford Mustang has been offered in four major fastback body style trims, EcoBoost, EcoBoost Premium, GT, and GT Premium. 

The convertibles are offered in GT trim. A new 10-speed automatic transmission has taken the charge, offering a remote-start function. The Mustang Ecoboost is the entry-level fastback trim while the Ecoboost Premium adds some additional features, keeping the hardware the same as the entry-level model. Meanwhile, the GT models are set up for the Mustang's performance engines. They are powered by a 5.0-liter V8 (460 hp, 420 lb-ft), which is revised for 2018 with the addition of direct and port injection.

Engine and Performance
9.1/10


Ford has made some significant drivetrain revisions this year. You won't see the V6 engine with the 2018 Mustang anymore. The only available engine options include a 2.3-liter EcoBoost Turbocharged inline-4 cylinder engine that produces 310 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque and a 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engine that produces 460 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. Both the engines come with the updated six-speed manual transmission as standard, while a 10-speed automatic transmission is available as an option for $1515. 

As anticipated, the 2.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder Ecoboost engine’s performance is very precise and responsive. The 5.0-liter V-8 engine, on the other hand, has linear power output and packs a punch thanks to the integration of a new twin-disc clutch and dual-mass flywheel for better torque capability. As mentioned earlier, for the 2018 model year, the 2.3-liter Ecoboost engine replaces the V-6 engine that powered the previous Mustang models. Also, the previously available 6-speed automatic has been replaced by the new 10-speed automatic transmission.

The Ford Mustang reigns supreme with the highest power output of 310 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, followed by the Dodge Challenger that has a power output of 305 horsepower and 268 pound-feet of torque. Ford has done a good job in upgrading the engine and the power figures truly show the level of precision that has gone into the process.

How quick is the 2018 Ford Mustang?

The Mustang might be called a pony car but is essentially a sports car and it offers impressive acceleration and performance. The base 2018 Ford Mustang goes from 0 to 60 MPH in 5.3 seconds and manages a quarter-mile time of 13.9 seconds. This makes the 2018 model year Mustang the fastest Ecoboost-powered Mustang yet. 

On the other hand, the 5.0liter V-8 powered Mustang can zip past the 60 MPH mark from a standstill in a quick 3.9 seconds and the quarter-mile mark in just 12.1 seconds. Thanks to the revision of these engines for the 2018 model year, the performance figures of the Mustang have improved drastically.

How good are the brakes on the 2018 Ford Mustang?

The standard braking system is adequate for the 2018 Mustang and packs enough power to bring the vehicle to a stop when required. The Ford Mustang comes with 4-wheel disc brakes with an anti-lock braking system(ABS). The Ecoboost and Ecoboost Premium Fastback trims have 12.6 inch vented discs for both the front and rear brakes. 

By upgrading to the GT versions (GT Fastback and GT Premium Fastback) you get 13.9-inch vented discs in the front and 13.0-inch vented discs in the rear. Without the performance pack, you can get a light brake pedal, which is somehow great for daily commuting. The 2018 Ford Mustang manages an impressive braking distance of 102 feet, which puts it at par with several supercars. The pedal feels easy to modulate, and offers excellent feedback while driving enthusiastically.

Even though both the Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger have the same brake disc dimensions for both the front and rear, the Ford Mustang manages to come to a stop from 60 MPH in just 12 feet which are better than the Dodge Challenger that takes 105 feet to achieve the same feat. 

How does the 2018 Ford Mustang Coupe handle?

The Ford Mustang offers responsive drivability and precise output. The 2018 Mustang boasts improved handling aesthetics in comparison to the outgoing model. thanks to the adjustable suspension, that helps the car to tackle uneven terrains. But you will have to keep in mind that the ride does get a bit uncomfortable on damaged roads. By adding a performance package to the base trim, you will get a stiffer suspension setup that is perfect for smooth roads, canyons, twisties, and race tracks. 

However, comfort does take a hit in this setup. Moving to the GT models, the optional performance package adds summer performance tires, a limited-slip rear differential, and a recalibrated ABS, stability control, and electronic power-assisted steering along with the stiffer suspension setup and completely changes the driving dynamics of the car. The 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine Mustangs may lack punchy power and a strong exhaust note but make for it in crisp handling abilities thanks to the lightweight front end. The V-8 Mustang’s handling, on the other hand, feels a bit heavier due to the increased weight in the front end of the vehicle.

Fuel Economy
6.8/10


The 2018 Ford Mustang's Ecoboost engine offers good fuel economy. The outgoing V-6 was not that fuel-efficient and hence was dropped for the 2018 model year in order to meet consumer expectations in the present market. Both the new engines offered have been revised and updated to offer a perfect balance of power and fuel efficiency. The updated Mustang Mustang offers a city MPG of 21 miles, highway MPG of 31 miles, and a combined MPG of 25 miles. On the other hand, the 5.0-liter V-8 Mustang offers a city MPG of 15 miles, a highway MPG of 25 miles, and a combined MPG of 18 miles.

The Ford Mustang has the best fuel economy numbers with a combined MPG of 25 miles, followed by the Chevrolet Camaro that has a combined MPG of 24.5 miles. But due to its small fuel tank, the Ford Mustang has the least range of 400 miles when compared to the Chevrolet Camaro that has the highest range offering 465.5 miles thanks to its 19.0-gallon fuel tank.

Interior
8.0/10


Ford has put in some work into the interiors of the 2018 Mustang and the efforts can be seen throughout the cabin, though there are some criticism-worthy materials and panels. The cabin features good quality materials for the most part but you will be able to spot a lot of hard plastic panels in the base trims. While the base trim seats are cloth upholstered, the GT trim receives leather upholstered seats. 

The base Ecoboost Fastback trim has cloth upholstered seats with a 6-way manually adjustable driver’s seat and a 4-way manually adjustable front passenger’s seat. Moving to the Ecoboost Premium trim, you get an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and a 4-way power-adjustable front passenger’s seat that is heated and cooled. Moving to the Mustang GT Fastback, the seats are cloth upholstered with 8-way manual adjustment for the driver’s seat and 6-way manual adjustment for the front passenger’s seat. 

Finally, the GT Premium Fastback trim has leather upholstered seats with an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and a 6-way power-adjustable front passenger’s seat with heating and cooling function. Ford Mustang comes with a seating capacity of four passengers. The front seats are supportive and comfortable and offer a good amount of room with good visibility for the driver as well. However, the rear seats are narrow and are suitable for children.

The Dodge Challenger offers the most amount of passenger space compared to the others, followed by the Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro respectively. The Dodge Challenger also has a five-passenger capacity making it a lot more practical than the others. But just so you know, the second-row passenger space is cramped in all the cars mentioned above.

How intuitive is the 2018 Ford Mustang’s infotainment unit?

The base Ford Mustang comes with a 4.2-inch touchscreen display also known as the SYNC infotainment system. It does lag in display size and clarity when compared to the ones offered in the higher trims but is equipped with some noteworthy features such as six speakers, Bluetooth, two USB ports, and a CD player. In the GT trim lineup, you get an 8-inch touchscreen display known as the SYNC3 Infotainment system that has crisp graphics and works seamlessly without any sign of lag. 

The SYNC3 infotainment offers some additional features such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, nine speakers, a navigation system, and a Wi-Fi hot spot. Not to forget the massive 12-inch digital instrument cluster that offers important performance and vehicle-specific information. These are some of the distinctive infotainment system features offered in the Ford Mustang:

  • Enhanced voice recognition
  • AppLink
  • 911 Assist
  • Apple CarPlay
  • Android Auto
  • 2 smart-charging USB ports
  • AM/FM Stereo
  • 9-speaker sound system w/amplifier
  • Speed Compensated Volume Control
  • AUX Audio Input Jack
  • Steering Wheel Controls
  • Voice Activation and Radio Data System
  • SiriusXM Radio -inc: 3 months prepaid subscription
  • 2 12V DC Power Outlets

How much cargo and storage space does the 2018 Ford Mustang have?

The 2018 Ford Mustang has a trunk volume of 13.5 cubic feet. The rear seats are quite uncomfortable but the 50/50 split capability that it offers allows for more trunk space. Talking about the storage bins in the cabin, the Mustang does not offer a lot of space for you to store your knick-knacks. The glove compartment might not be spacious but has a decent amount of space. You get a few cupholders along with a small storage bin under the armrest.

The Dodge Challenger offers the most cargo space with 16.2 cubic feet of space, followed by the Ford Mustang that offers 13.5 cubic feet of trunk space, leaving the Chevrolet Camaro at the bottom with an unruly 9.1 cubic feet of trunk space. But thanks to the second-row seats, all the cars mentioned above offer some extra space when they are not in use by providing the split-bench capability.

Exterior
9.1/10


The 2018 Ford Mustang gets a refreshing makeover this year. The front fascia looks slimmer and aggressive with the help of LED headlights, the uniquely designed LED daytime running lights, and foglights. The lower hood gets new vents as well. The rear end gets revised LED taillights. The new Mustang also adds new exterior paint color, new strip options, wheel choices, and four spoilers. The minor changes have brought a lot of uniqueness to the new Mustang. The new C-type taillights are attractive and mesmerizing. 

Even though the 2018 Mustang still belongs to the sixth generation, you can easily point out the 2018 model from its previous version thanks to the lower front hood, the aggressive front-end, and the addition of vents. The Ford Mustang GT trim receives quad exhaust tips that look just as good as they sound. The pointy look of the new Mustang definitely helps in improving its aerodynamics while the rear spoiler helps in increasing downforce.

Competition
9.0/10


Ford Mustang Coupe vs Chevrolet Camaro

The Chevrolet Camaro has been an age-old rival of Mustang. Both these muscle cars have been competing with each other for ages. They both deliver similar power figures, with both turbo-fours and performance V8s. Mustang offers a more premium cabin and comfortable seats than the Camaro. The Camaro has more available and standard features. Both appear to be very similar in many aspects, but the Ford Mustang would still be the better pick.

Ford Mustang Coupe vs Dodge Challenger

Unlike the Mustang, the Challenger offers pure V-8 power. But the Mustang delivers better handling and fuel economy. The Challenger needs to be reworked on the interior as well. The Dodge Challenger's cabin has a lot more space in the first and second row while the Mustang struggles with the rear seat space. The Challenger also offers more standard features and trunk space. As of now, the refreshed Mustang offers better appeal than the old-school Challenger. But the Challenger is just as good with a lot more practicality offered. Hence, this competition is a tough one.

Final Verdict
8.9/10


This upgraded and revised Ford Mustang has received a lot of noteworthy changes for the 2018 model year. The pony car offers better drivability and fuel economy along with a splash of practicality and reliability. Moreover, the pricing for the 2018 model looks very justified. But it is worth noting that the optional features and packages cost quite a lot. When comparing the new Mustang with the primary rivals, the Mustang is a worthy competitor and offers better performance. The Ecoboost is just as good as the powerful V8. However, you need to drive them both in order to reach a final conclusion. All in all, the 2018 Ford Mustang is worth adding to your driveway.
