Ford Australia has revealed price and spec for the 2020 Mustang range, confirming price hikes across the board.
Entry into the Mustang stable now starts at $50,990 for the EcoBoost Fastback fitted with a six-speed manual transmission, representing a $1000 price hike. The correlating 10-speed automatic EcoBoost also rises $1000 to $53,990, while the convertible version starts at $60,490.
The EcoBoost runs a 2.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine producing 224kW and 441Nm.
In due course it will be replaced by a 'High Performance' 2.3-litre engine (pictured) raising outputs by 12kW and 7Nm (236kW and 448Nm respectively). That particular variant has been slated for a February arrival in Australia.
For the V8 enthusiast, the flagship GT Fastback has risen $400 to $63,690 for the six-speed manual. The matching 10-speed automatic climbs to $66,600 – a significant jump compared with the V8 Mustang’s original $55,990 (plus on-road costs) landing price in 2015.
Power on the 2020 GT remains unchanged at 339kW and 556Nm from its 5.0-litre naturally-aspirated V8 engine.
The equivalent convertible GT starts at $74,890 for 2020 – a marginal increase on 2019.
Ford has applied modest changes for the 2020 Model Year, announcing a $1000 Black Shadow Pack available on GT Fastback variants that brings darker accents on the front grille, badging, 19-inch wheels and bonnet vents.
Four new colours have been introduced, two of which are heritage hues - Grabber Lime and Twister Orange - along with Iconic Silver and Red Hot.
Standard equipment in the GT includes 19-inch wheels, Brembo brakes, a bi-modal exhaust, 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster, 8.0-inch touchscreen with Sync3 operating system, autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist and a reversing camera.
The other addition for 2020 is the new 500kW Mustang R-Spec, which will be strictly limited to 500 examples and priced at $100k when it arrives early in the new year.
