It’s not just the all-new Bronco that’s gotten the Internet talking today—Ford Philippines has also just revealed the local specs and pricing for the all-new Ford Mustang.
The next-generation icon will come with two engine options. First is the GT Premium Fastback’s 5.0-liter TiVCT gasoline V8 that’s capable of 486hp and 567Nm of torque and is mated to a 10-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox. Second is the EcoBoost Premium Fastback’s 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder gasoline engine with the same 10-speed AT but with a more modest 315hp and 475Nm of torque.

Standard across the range are the different drive modes which are namely: normal, sport, slippery, custom, track, and ‘drag strip.’ That last one sounds like a lot of fun, doesn’t it? Other standard extra tech include the MagneRide damping system, a feature that was previously exclusive to the GT Premium variant.
The all-new Mustang will also get a wide range of tech inside the cabin, including the 12-inch instrument cluster and the 13-inch infotainment system with FordSync 4 connectivity. Ford’s Co-Pilot360 tech—the one you also get in the Bronco—is also available in the Mustang. The suite of tech available include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go and lane-centering assist functions, blind-spot monitoring, and forward-collision warning with autonomous emergency braking and evasive steer assist.
As far as prices go, the new Ford Mustang 2.3L EcoBoost Premium Fastback starts at P3.499 million, while the higher-spec Mustang 5.0L GT Premium Fastback stickers for P3.999 million. Color options for the new Mustang are Vapor Blue Metallic, Iconic Silver, Race Red, and Shadow Black. The Grabber Blue and Yellow Splash Metallic, meanwhile, are available only on the top-spec GT Premium for an additional P20,000.
“The all-new Ford Mustang promises unique drives with its mix of performance and iconic style,” said Ford Philippines managing director Mike Breen. “We invite customers and fans to reserve online today to soon experience the thrill of being behind the wheel of a Ford icon.”
