Ford Mustang prices will rise in the new year as part of a minor MY25 update which will bring a tweaked colour palette and optional new Bronze Appearance Pack.
Prices for the new-generation muscle car will rise between $915 and $2000 depending on the variant, the base four-cylinder turbo EcoBoost Fastback being subject to the biggest hike and now starting from $66,990 plus on-road costs.
The manual GT Fastback now opens from $78,990 (+$1988), its automatic counterpart from $81,990 (+$1088) and the auto-only GT Convertible from $87,990 (+$915).
Don’t go looking for any specification changes on the new model when it arrives early next year, the updates extending only to the addition of the Molten Magenta, Carbonised Grey, Grabber Blue, Vapour Blue, Shadow Black, Iconic Silver, Race Red and Oxford White paint colours, which replace Atlas Blue, Dark Matter Grey, Rapid Red and Yellow Splash.
The addition of a Bronze Appearance Pack that costs $1500 replaces the existing Black Appearance Package and adds a series of ‘Sinister Bronze’ cosmetic enhancements, namely the Pony badging on front grille, rear GT badging, side ‘5.0’ lettering and 19-inch wheels.
No changes will be made to any of the Mustang’s equipment lists or mechanical set-ups in 2025, meaning the EcoBoost’s turbocharged 2.3-litre four-cylinder still outputs 232kW/475Nm while the GT’s 5.0-litre V8 continues to burble out 347kW/550Nm.
All Mustangs remain send power to the rear wheels via either a six-speed manual (GT Fastback only) or a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Those still looking to snag themselves a flagship Dark Horse will have to either settle for a GT or bide their time waiting for another allocation – which may never come – seeing as the initial run of 1000 units is sold out.
“Ford Australia has today announced specification and pricing updates to the seventh-generation Ford Mustang and confirmed that Mustang Dark Horse Special Edition will depart Ford Australia’s stable for 2025, with all 1000 Australia-bound units finding homes,” the Blue Oval brand said today.
In years gone by the Ford Mustang has often been the top-selling sports car in Australia, sometimes by a country mile. But in 2023 it was relegated to second place by the Subaru BRZ, 1475 sales versus 1573.
Thus far in 2024 Mustang sales have dropped off a cliff, down almost 100 per cent, with just 19 vehicles being delivered in the first seven months of 2024 but Ford says stock levels are improving as more vehicles arrive into Australia.
“Strong supply of Mustang GT Fastback, and GT Convertible and EcoBoost Fastback means there is availability of current model year vehicles nationwide, though stock may vary between dealers.”
The 2024 line-up continues to be available at the previous prices.
