About the 2026 Ford Mustang
Thinking about the 2026 Ford Mustang as your next ride? This pony car definitely brings the classic muscle car appeal, but it’s surprisingly practical for daily life. With the standard four-cylinder engine, you’re looking at a combined 26 MPG, which is decent for a rear-wheel-drive coupe. That base power translates to 315 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, giving you plenty of pep for merging onto the highway. You’ve got 13.5 cubic feet of trunk space, enough for a decent grocery run or a couple of weekend bags. Plus, with 44.5 inches of front legroom, the driver has plenty of stretch-out space, even if the 29 inches in the back is snugger for adult passengers.
