Ford Mustang Review

Overview

Ford Mustang has always been the iconic car of America and will be so in the future. This pony car was first launched in the year 1965 and it has never looked back ever since. It has passed through decades and now it is in its sixth generation with an all new look, performance and features. However, the exciting part is that the manufacturer is considering the feasibility of launching this iconic car for the Indian automobile enthusiasts. There is no confirmed information yet relating to this vehicle but, there are many experts, who believe that this super car is going to be launched in the country's emerging car bazaar. The manufacturer has already started testing the right-hand drive version of this vehicle, which adds fuel to the speculations of its launch in the country. Currently, the manufacturer is offering the 2015 version of Mustang in a few markets across the globe and the same version is expected in India as well. Unlike its predecessor, this latest version looks quite stunning with more aggressive cues on its front facade. As you can see in the images, the headlight cluster has an extremely sleek structure with black finish and is housed with projector headlamps. The finish on bonnet too gets some improvement with flawless lines that adds to its masculine stance. However, the most attractive aspect of this vehicle will remain to be its radiator grille that is embodied with iconic brand's logo. As far as interiors are concerned, this vehicle has a classy internal cabin that is done up with all black color scheme. However, buyers have the option to personalize its cabin with a color scheme of their own choice.

This two door version is made to accommodate at least four occupants with two individual front seats and a rear bench seat. Unlike in the overseas markets, in India, it might be introduced with several safety and comfort features as standard. One can expect for standard comfort features like electronic temperature control, Mustang Dashboard, an advanced infotainment system with SYNC 2 connectivity feature. In terms of safety, features like powerful braking system, airbags and anti-theft protection package are most likely to be fitted in this vehicle. In the European markets, it is currently available in two variants. It is most likely that the manufacturer will introduce these two variants in India considering feasibility of shipping and customer demand. Among those, its entry level trim is powered by a high performance 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine, whereas the top end trim is powered by a V8, EcoBoost petrol motor. However, it is highly unlikely that the vehicle will be introduced as a CKD version, since it requires special manufacturing capabilities and infrastructure to meet the quality norms. At the same time, one can expect for the same on-road capabilities and driving dynamics like it has in the European markets. But right now, it is too early to say anything related to this vehicle as the manufacturer has not confirmed anything related to its launch.

Exteriors

It is most likely that the manufacturer might introduce the recently unveiled 2015 version of Ford Mustang in India, which looks much aggressive than its earlier version. If this is the case, then auto enthusiasts in the country will be getting more than what they have expected for. This latest version carry forwards the iconic design language of the company that inspired many designers across the segment. It has the trademark radiator grille featuring a black colored perforated mesh, which is embedded with the model's badge. However, its headlight cluster of this latest version gone sleeker with clear lens design and black tinted finish inside. It is further housed with an elegant lighting pattern featuring projector headlamps along with turn indicators. The front bumper is rugged as usual with improved design featuring a black colored bumper lip. It houses a pair of fog lamps that further enhances the visibility in foggy condition. Coming to the side facet, this vehicle has a sleek profile with well carved fenders and expressively sculptured shoulder lines. Its wheel arches are going to be fitted with alloy wheels, but it is too early to specify the size of those rims. This two door version also has sleek window frames with black finish, while the door handles and ORVM caps are done up in body color. The rear facet is another attractive aspect of this pony car, thanks to the elegant taillight design and high gloss black accents on its tailgate. Unlike the front bumper, its rear one is extremely large, which is housed with a license plate console along with a pair of reflectors and other add-ons. It is also fitted with a body colored lower cladding along with a pair of black tinted exhaust pipes.

Exterior Measurements:
Considering the fact that the company may launch it as a CKD version, we can expect it to have the same exterior dimensions like its international version. If so, it is going to have a total length of 188.3 inches along with a decent width of 81.9 inches (excluding outside mirrors) and a decent height of just about 54.4 inches.

Interiors

Both the front seats are separated by a massive floor console, which is housed with cup holders along with a gearshift box. The center fascia is equipped with an advanced infotainment system along with an AC unit and various illuminated control switches. There is a lot of chrome used inside the cabin, especially to the dial type switches, cup holders and inside door handles. Its dashboard is something that represents the unique identity of Mustang, as it has a layered design with masculine build. The instrument cluster is quite large has a rectangular design featuring two round shaped meters and a full color display. It notifies the driver with all the important information related to this vehicle.

It is most likely that the manufacturer will launch it in two trim levels or else in only one trim, which should not be a surprise to the auto enthusiasts. However, considering its stature and price range, we can expect for several advanced features like those in its international version. Individuals can expect for some of the standard features like an automatic air conditioning system, a power assisted steering with tilt along with telescopic adjustment, electrically operated outside mirrors, automatic headlamps and parking assistance program. At the same time, we can also expect for electrically adjustable front seats including lumbar support and memory function that further adds to the traveling comfort. On the other hand, one can also expect for features like a automatic headlamps, rain sensing wipers, a leather wrapped multi-functional steering wheel, central locking system, keyless entry and several other such aspects.

There is no doubt that the internal cabin of this upcoming Ford Mustang will be spacious enough to accommodate at least five occupants. Its international version also has a total of 13.5 cubic feet of trunk space along with a massive fuel tank that can store up to 13 gallons. In India, its trunk volume is expected to be the same like above, but we can expect that the fuel tank capacity can be much lower.
