KBB Editors’ Overview:
The 2021 Ford Mustang is more than just a car. It’s a high point in American automotive culture. That’s been true for many (though not all) Mustangs throughout the years.
When someone buys a Mustang, in coupe or convertible form, they’re participating in a heritage while also driving the name into a thrilling future. The Mustang feels special, bringing a sense of occasion every time you jump in, even if you’re just going to pick up the dry cleaning.
There are rivals, specifically the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger. But the fixed-roof Mustang is among the best-selling coupes in the world.
The 2021 Mustang spans a power gamut from a peppery 310-horsepower EcoBoost model to a breathtaking 760-horsepower Shelby GT500 supercar.
