The 2021 Ford Mustang continues the retro-futuristic tradition of echoing its 1960s granddaddy’s classic lines. However, it is decidedly a modern sports car. Reviewers praise it for modern engines, performance-oriented suspension, and track abilities (even in its base trim). It embraces future tech, particularly in the standard Ford Co-Pilot driver-assist package. It combines this with practicality including useable rear seats and surprisingly ample interior space. The result is a delightfully sports-oriented daily driver.

Basics About the 2021 Ford Mustang

The 2021 Mustang is available in five trim levels ranging from the base Ecoboost four-cylinder to a “throwback” Mach 1 V8. Each is built around the “fastback’ front engine, four seat hatchback design that debuted in 2015. They also feature the fully independent suspension that reviewers love for its quick response and predictability in hard corning. All but two trims (the standard GT and the Mach 1) are available as a coupe or convertible.

Mach 1 New for 2021

Doubling down on its “retro-futuristic” design language for 2021, Ford introduced the limited edition Mustang Mach 1. It boasts a beastly 480 horsepower take on the GT’s 5.0-liter V8. Though modern in function, its “throwback” aero styling takes its cues from Ford’s original 1969 Mach 1. It also incorporates performance parts from the recent Mustang Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT500 models to make it one of the most trackable modern Mustangs.

Trim Levels and Pricing

The track-worthy base ‘Ecoboost” model with a 310 horsepower turbo four-cylinder engine is MSRP $27,205 (MSRP $32,705 as a convertible). Ecoboost Premium adds track oriented components and heated/ ventilated seats for MSRP $32,225 ($37,725 convertible). The coupe-only GT Fastback jumps to a 5.0-liter 460 horsepower V8 engine for MSRP $ $36,285. The GT Premium echoes the Ecoboost Premium additions for MSRP $ $40,285 ($45,785 convertible). The coupe-only Mach 1 is MSRP $52,400.

Ford Co-Pilot 360 Safety Package Standard

All 2021 Mustang trim levels come standard with Ford’s Co-Pilot safety package. This suite of active driver assistance features augments the Mustang’s already high ratings for passive collision safety. Included are automatic high-beam headlights, blind spot monitoring and alerts, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. Lane keeping alert and assist helps drivers maintain their lane position even in congested traffic. Automatic collision alerts and emergency braking prevent forward collisions (including with bicyclists and pedestrians).

Modern Means Connected

Ford’s refined Sync 3 system is the heart of the Mustang’s touchscreen infotainment offerings. It’s delightfully intuitive and handles everything from audio, to navigation, to track day performance readouts. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available for those who prefer to access their smartphones directly. Options include a banging stereo system, Wi-Fi hotspot, and FordSync Connect to monitor and control certain vehicle features via smartphone. With the 2021 Mustang, Ford continues to show that it has mastered the retro-modern vehicle. You get all the styling cues that made yesteryears' Mustangs a perennial favorite. But you also get a completely modern Mustang, capable of holding its own on the track while pleasing anyone who lives their lie via smartphone. All this comes packaged in a sports car legendary for its daily drivability. Contact Romeo Ford of Kingston today to try it for yourself. Photo courtesy of Ford.
