Ford Australia quietly updated the sixth-generation Mustang sports car for MY21.5 last month, with the best-seller becoming more expensive following the technology upgrade.
All Mustang variants, excluding the recently launched Mach 1 flagship, have become $200 dearer (see full pricing table below) with the addition of FordPass Connect to their shared list of standard equipment.
According to Ford Australia, “this exciting feature allows owners to locate their vehicle, lock and unlock the doors, and even start the engine remotely to heat or cool the cabin to the last known setting from the FordPass app on their smartphone”.
Better yet, the sports car’s prestige paintwork options now include Yellow Peel, Carbonized Grey and Antimatter Blue, so MY21.5 can well and truly stand out from the crowd if desired.
As before, the Mustang is available with two engines, including a 236kW/448Nm 2.3-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder (2.3L High Performance) and a 5.0-litre naturally petrol V8 in two forms: 339kW/556Nm (GT) and 345kW/556Nm (Mach 1).
Excluding the automatic-only convertible body style, the 2.3L High Performance, GT and Mach 1 versions come with the choice of a six-speed manual or a 10-speed torque-converter automatic.
All variants are rear-wheel drive, while body-style options also extend to the Fastback coupe, which is the only choice for Mach 1 buyers.
