Basics About the 2022 Ford Mustang
The Ford Mustang is a performance coupe, which is more commonly known as a sports car. Available in convertible or coupe body styles, the powerful, stylish Mustang has been universally popular since its first release in 1964 and has only continued to improve over the years.
Under the Hood
There are many engines available for the Mustang depending on the trim, all of which are paired with your choice of either a six-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic transmission. All engines route power to the rear wheels.
