2019-Ford-Mustang-Silver-Convertible

The Ford Mustang remains an iconic muscle car with the power, performance, and look of a modern performance vehicle. The 2019 Mustang sees just a few changes including the return of the Bullitt and some changes to the available features. Also new for 2019 is a California Special limited edition package for the GT Premium. Here are some reasons why the 2019 Ford Mustang is your dream sports car.

The Power

The base engine for the Mustang is a 2.3-liter four-cylinder that delivers 310 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque. Once you get into the GT models, the Mustang gets a 5.0-liter V-8 that gets 460 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. For the Bullitt model, Ford tweaks the V-8 to generate 480 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard with an optional 10-speed automatic.

The Mustang Models

The 2019 Mustang lineup starts with the EcoBoost which has 17-inch wheels, a limited-slip rear differential, and launch control with the manual transmission. The EcoBoost Premium adds 18-inch wheels and some interior upgrades. The GT models come with 18-inch wheels, and the GT Premium adds extra comforts with the EcoBoost Premium. The Bullitt stands out with its Highland Green exterior paint, Bullitt badging, and special wheels.

The Technology

A 4.2-inch display screen comes standard in the EcoBoost along with Bluetooth and two USB ports. The EcoBoost Premium upgrades the stereo; adds an 8-inch touch screen; and comes with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and the Sync 3 infotainment system. The GT and GT Premium have similar technology.

Safety technology includes a rearview camera on all models, while the GT models add rear parking sensors. Additional safety technology available includes blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control.

The Performance Packages

The Performance Package for the EcoBoost and the GT comes with larger brakes, 19-inch wheels, summer tires, and a larger radiator. It also adds stiffer front springs, a large rear stabilizer bar, and the option for MagneRide adaptive suspension dampers. The Level 2 Performance Package is an available option for the Mustang coupe with the manual transmission and adds the MagneRide system and wider wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. It also adds a front air splitter and track suspension tuning.

The Cabin

The Mustang comes in both a coupe and a convertible and seats up to four passengers. Cloth seats come in the lower trims with leather upholstery added starting with the EcoBoost Premium. This model also gets you upgraded cabin trim elements, automatic climate control, and power-adjustable front seats. Additional upgrades for any of the models include a heated steering wheel, navigation, and Recaro front sport seats.

The 2019 Ford Mustang is a dream sports car for any driver who loves speed and power. It still has its iconic look but with modern upgrades and new technology. Stop by Tindol Ford in Gastonia, NC today or schedule a test drive to experience the 2019 Ford Mustang first-hand!
