2018 mustang lcd display pricelist

The question to answer when choosing a 2018 Ford Mustang isn’t, “Do you want to go fast?” but rather, “How fast is fast enough?” From the 301-horsepower EcoBoost model, to the 460-hp Mustang GT, to the 526-hp Shelby GT350R, your pony choice depends on how far you want to turn the go-fast dial and how wide you’ll open your wallet.

Following a leak, Ford originally officially introduced the updated 2018 Mustang in January 2017. The new car has a more muscular look and new tech features inside, but the V6-powered model has been dropped.

The mid-cycle update brings new sheet metal from the A-pillar forward. The headlights are smaller than the ones on the previous model and each headlight has three short strips of LED daytime running lights. It’s a modern interpretation of one of the original Mustang’s defining styling cues that cleverly provides the 2018 model with a new lighting signature. A redesigned bumper, a lower hood, and horizontal turn signals round out the updates up front.

As expected, the naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V6 engine has been dropped from the Mustang lineup. The pony’s car entry-level engine becomes a turbocharged, 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. Enthusiasts who want more power can step up to the GT model, which is powered by the Blue Oval’s 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine. The mill has been comprehensively re-engineered, and it now uses both direct and port fuel-injection systems to deliver more power and better gas mileage. However, Ford won’t publish fuel economy or performance figures until closer to the Mustang’s on-sale date. If the 460-hp 5.0-liter V8 doesn’t scratch your itch sufficiently, the Shelby GT350 and GT350R use a 5.2-liter flat plane crank V8 for a rollicking 526 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque.

The Mustang is all about performance, but Ford has packed more high-tech features into its iconic pony car than ever before. The Mustang is one of the first Ford products offered with a digital instrument cluster. The optional 12-inch LCD unit offers three separate views that are fully configurable. It can be set up to display different information for the normal, sport, and track driving modes. Ford points out that even the Mustang’s exhaust note can be personalized via an optional active-valve exhaust system.

The list of available electronic driving aids has been expanded to include pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection, distance alert, a lane-departure warning system, and lane-keeping assist. Owners can use a smartphone application named FordPass to start, lock, unlock, and locate their car. Finally, the optional Mustang Performance Package includes an adaptive suspension named MagneRide borrowed from the Shelby GT350. The GT350 and GT350R drop many of the comfort, convenience, luxury, and passive safety features to save weight and reduce cabin clutter.

Nine distinct 2018 Mustang trim versions range in base price from $25,585 for an EcoBoost Fastback to the Shelby GT350R’s $64,645 starting tag. There are four EcoBoost trims, three Mustang GT trims, and two Shelbys. We’ve broken them out with feature differentiation descriptions and tables below.

Two fastbacks and two convertibles comprise the 2018 Mustang EcoBoost models. The EcoBoost trims share the same turbocharged 310-hp 2.3-liter engine, manual six-speed transmission, and independent rear suspension. Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission is a $1,595 option.  If you want to stick with a four-cylinder engine but still bump up the go-power, the $2,495 Ecoboost Performance Package and $1,695 MagneRide Damping System may be appealing, but you might consider bumping up to the GT before making that leap.

The entry-level 2018 Mustang EcoBoost Fastback starts at $25,585 with automatic LED headlamps, and LED signature lighting, turn signals, and taillights. The fastback include an auto-dimming rearview mirror, manual A/C, smart access and push-button start, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and brake handle. Creature benefits include power windows, a six-speaker stereo with AM/FM and single CD, Ford’s SYNC system, and cloth seats. All EcoBoosts have a rearview camera, SOS post-crash alert system, individual tire pressure monitoring, perimeter alarm, remote keyless entry, and a passive anti-theft system.

For an additional $5,500, which equals a $31,085 starting price, the 2018 Mustang EcoBoost Convertible has the same feature set as the fastback plus a convertible power top.

The 2018 Mustang EcoBoost Premium Fastback, starting at $30,600, adds a long list of comfort, convenience, near luxury, and safety features to the basic EcoBoost trim. EcoBoost Premium versions, both Fastback and Convertible, gain blind spot monitoring with cross traffic alert, LED fog lights, dual-zone automatic climate control, aluminum foot pedals, ambient lighting, and a universal garage door opener. The Premium’s infotainment system has nine speakers, SiriusXM Radio, and SYNC 3. Seating is improved with a six-way power seat with power lumbar control for the driver, six-way power front passenger seat, and leather seat trim plus seat heating and cooling in front. The Premium also gains heated side mirrors with integrated blind spot mirrors and turn signal indicators. Ecoboost Premium trims with the manual transmission only also gain Ford’s launch control for maximum speed off the line.

For many Mustang traditionalists, the two most important checklist items are the 5.0 V8 and the manual transmission — anything less pales the whole experience in their view. Ford wisely doesn’t deny Mustang fanbase preferences, for 2018 added a neighbor appreciation feature to the  Mustang GT, the Good Neighbor Mode. This selectable exhaust noise level enables but does not require the driver to cut the sound level on startup. Other settings include Normal, Sport, and Track on the chance that GT owners would prefer not to muffle the exhaust.

The basic 2018 Mustang GT Fastback, starting at $35,095, has all the features of the basic EcoBoost Fastback plus side mirrors with integrated blindspot mirrors, the 5.0-liter V8 engine, an engine oil cooler, dual exhaust with quad tips, and a raised blade decklid spoiler and rear diffuser.

The top of the GT trims, the 2018 Mustang GT Premium Convertible, $44,595 starting, carries the full feature set of the GT Fastback Premium plus the convertible top, a blade decklid spoiler, and an electronic locking center console.

For 2018 the Mustang Shelby GT350, $57,145 to start, has all the features of the GT Fastback minus many of the creature features, including rear seats. In addition to the 5.2-liter flat-plane crank V8 and Tremec six -speed manual, the GT350 has differential coolers, transmission coolers, and dual exhausts with electronic values and quad tips. Other performance items include cross-drilled disc Brembo brakes, integrated driver control system, 19-inch aluminum wheels with Michelin Pilot SuperSport tires, and the ride-flattening MagneRide Damping System. The Shelbys also have HID headlamps with signature lighting, manual climate control, Shelby exclusive aluminum instrument panel applique, a leather/Alcantara-wrapped steering wheel, and Recaro cloth/Miko suede sport seats.

Fans of the Ford Mustang will often tell you the beloved pony has to have a V8 engine to be fun and in the past, they weren"t exactly wrong. Ford"s V6 engines didn"t start to be entertaining until 2011 when the 3.7-liter Cyclone arrived and even then, the 5.0-liter Coyote V8 was still the far more impressive power plant. But Ford is slowly moving away from normally aspirated engines and the Mustang no longer has a V6 option. Instead, all base Mustangs are now powered by a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder similar to the one used in the discontinued Focus RS.

In the Focus, this EcoBoost engine was heralded for its impressive power output but in the Mustang, it is picked on for "not being a V8." But if you stripped away the Mustang nameplate and just looked at the car for what it is - an affordable, rear-wheel-drive sports car with over 300 horsepower - it would be a guaranteed winner. Ford sent us a 2019 Mustang Convertible to review and after a week of driving, we aren"t so sure the V8 model is the only one you should buy.

Most alterations for 2019 pertain to the options and packages that are available for the Mustang Convertible. An active valve quad-tip performance exhaust system has been added to the options cache along with a premium Bang & Olufsen audio system, which replaces the previous years" optional Pro audio setup. Three new over-the-top vintage-inspired tape stripes have been added to the exterior customization catalog along with two new exterior paint options; Velocity Blue and Need for Green. It is otherwise business as usual for the EcoBoost Mustang Convertible.

Ford has incorporated contemporary design and styling details into the Mustang"s beloved retro pony-car aesthetic. Aggressively contoured LED headlights with integrated signature LED daytime running lights flank the Mustang"s easily recognizable black mesh grille, underscored by slim LED indicators and a molded chin skirting, which, along with dual hood vents, make up the Mustang"s face. LED sequential taillights and dual-rolled polished bright exhaust tips adorn the rear end. 17-inch Sparkle Silver aluminum wheels fill the arches of the base EcoBoost Convertible, while fuller, 18-inch machined-face aluminum wheels are equipped on the EcoBoost Premium Convertible. A fully-lined cloth soft-top discerns the Convertible variant from the Coupe.

With its classic long and muscled hood, two-plus-two layout, and short stubby trunk, the Mustang isn"t a very compact pony car. However, at 107.1 inches, it possesses a shorter wheelbase than either of its core rivals. Its bodywork rides 5.7 inches from the asphalt and measures 188.5 inches in length, 54.9 inches in height, and 75.4 inches in width. With the manual gearbox equipped, the Mustang Convertible weighs in at 3,642 lbs in its lightest guise and 3,712 lbs with the automatic on the heaviest Premium trim; that slots the Mustang Convertible neatly in line with the Chevrolet Camaro, which starts at 3,647 lbs.

A total of ten exterior hues are available for the Mustang Convertible, including two new additions for 2019 in Velocity Blue and Need For Green - the former carrying giving the "Stang a distinct GT350 vibe. Other staples include the regular Oxford White, Ingot Silver, and Shadow Black hues, but we"re partial to the more exciting shades of Race Red, Ruby Red, Kona Blue, or Orange Fury. To avoid looking like you just rented the Mustang Convertible for a long weekend, we highly suggest going for a brash color.

As far as Mustangs go, the EcoBoost Convertible "Stang occupies the lowliest of rankings when it comes to performance. Not only does it get a turbocharged four-cylinder developing only 310 horsepower (compared to 460 in the GT), but it adds weight and sacrifices rigidity by chopping the roof off. Still, the 2.3-liter mill isn"t bad, and driving the rear wheels, it"s more than capable of burning rubber in "line-lock" mode, or sending the Mustang from 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds on an ideal surface. Those figures may seem like hot-hatch territory, but those would"ve humiliated V8 "stangs of old. Some of the performance sparkle is lost with the roof being removed, though, and in losing its top, the Mustang has become more of a GT car than a true sports car.

Compared to the V8, the base model seems almost underwhelming with a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder developing 310 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque. Many may cry foul at the decision to use a four-cylinder, but Fox-body Mustangs made use of a similarly sized unit, so this isn"t the first time the Mustang has gone for a diminutive four-banger. The choice exists between either a standard six-speed manual gearbox or if you prefer to let the Mustang do its own thing, a ten-speed automatic co-developed with General Motors.

The last Mustang we tested was a GT with the Performance Package and we definitely missed the larger brakes and more aggressive tires included on it. But when driving the EcoBoost, it became clear this is the Mustang to buy if you prefer a more nimble sports car. Having a four-cylinder up front makes the entire car feel lighter and more responsive when you chuck it into a corner. It still doesn"t feel Miata-like but the EcoBoost certainly tickled our fancy through the bends.

Ditto with the ride comfort. The PP1 GT crashed violently over bumps but the non-Performance Package EcoBoost felt no less comfortable than a Focus or Fusion. This is the Mustang you"ll want to buy if you just want something comfortable. It still packs tons of performance goodies, allowing the driver to change the steering feel, transmission aggressiveness, throttle mapping, and exhaust sound. The Mustang"s steering doesn"t feel as precise as the Camaro but the three steering modes are a fun gimmick for drivers to play with. It may not be shouty V8 but the EcoBoost does love to get loud when you put the exhaust into race mode. Plus, the EcoBoost is perfectly capable of some shenanigans like smoking the rear tires using the built-in line-lock feature.

Interestingly enough, the Mustang"s EcoBoost straight-four engine performs identically in fuel economy when mated to either the six-speed manual transmission or the ten-speed automatic, with both variants returning EPA estimates of 20/28/23 mpg city/highway/combined. The Mustang can manage a range of around 356 miles on a full tank of premium unleaded fuel with its 15.5-gallon gas tank. On the highway, we were easily able to achieve well over 30 mpg.

Forget, for a moment, that the Mustang Convertible is a two-plus-two, and imagine it as a two-seater coupe - it"s wonderful and spacious, with an abundance of head and legroom - provided you don"t try squeeze passengers into the tiny back seats. At least, should you attempt to, with the roof down, ingress and egress are easy enough. The cabin is fairly well-assembled, but visibility is limited by chunky A-pillars, and the seats aren"t the most supportive. Instrumentation is well laid out, and central to the whole experience is Ford"s impressive-but-aging Sync 3 infotainment system. It"s a well-executed interior for the most part, which will be accommodating of almost all who enter. But it"s nothing exceptional, which is a great pity considering the Mustang"s reputation as America"s pop-culture icon.

For a convertible pony-car, the Mustang is relatively easy to live with in terms of practicality. Its trunk opens appreciably wide, and the lift-over height is relatively low; and, with an impressive 11.4 cubic feet of trunk room on offer, there"s more than enough space for a couple of weekend travel bags. Ford has also engineered the convertible top so it doesn"t take up any space when down. In-cabin storage is unfortunately not as impressive, limited to a compact passenger-side glovebox, a small center armrest console, and narrow door side pockets that do not hold bottles. The center console dual cupholders are at least large enough to hold supersized beverages.

The base Mustang comes with a tiny LCD screen with tons of buttons surrounding it but the Premium trim rolls in an eight-inch touchscreen with Sync3. This system has been on the market for several years now and it still works well. Voice command is easy-to-use and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay both come standard. We have started to notice some laggy menu changes on the system in recent tests, perhaps signaling that other systems have caught up and Sync3 is in need of an update.

The 2019 Ford Mustang Convertible has not yet been subject to any major recalls, with only the Coupe variant having been recalled due to a malfunctioning instrument cluster. J.D. Power gave the Mustang an average predicted reliability rating of three out of five. Ford offers the Mustang Convertible with a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Prepare for a hot take: we prefer the EcoBoost Mustang to the GT. While you pick up your jaw, allow us to explain. If this car wasn"t called "Mustang," people would be singing its praises for being one of the best affordable sports cars on the market. It"s got everything people criticize the Mazda Miata, Subaru BRZ, and Toyota 86 for not having - a turbocharged drivetrain with over 300 hp, a usable trunk, and an affordable price tag. In fact, an EcoBoost Premium Convertible costs around $8,000 less than a GT and feels more nimble through the corners.

Getting a convertible Mustang already means you are willing to sacrifice a bit of performance, so why not save the money and just get the EcoBoost? If this car was called Probe, or Falcon, or Escort, it wouldn"t have to face criticism for being a "lesser" Mustang and in our opinion, the EcoBoost makes a strong case for itself over the V8. If we were to buy a Mustang tomorrow, ours would be a manual coupe with the Performance Package, but it would have the EcoBoost under the hood.

The base EcoBoost Mustang Convertible starts the lineup off with an MSRP of$31,895, progressing to $36,910 for the Premium variant. These prices are excluding Ford"s destination charge of $1,095 and acquisition charge of $645, as well as any tax, registration, or licensing fees. Selecting the optional ten-speed automatic transmission will throw on an extra $1,595, and optioning in all the available packages for a fully-loaded EcoBoost Premium model can level the total price out at around the $50,000 mark. Our tester was equipped with Magneride suspension ($1,695), Ford Smart and Safe ($1,000), and Active Valve Exhaust ($895) bringing the as-tested price to $42,440.

Ford sells the Mustang Convertible in two trims, the base EcoBoost and a fittingly named EcoBoost Premium derivative. Both are powered by a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with a rear-wheel drivetrain, and both can be had with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a ten-speed automatic.

The Premium model adds on to this with 18-inch alloy wheels, pony projection entry lights, dual-zone climate control, upgraded interior trim, reverse park sensors, nine speakers, Ford"s Sync 3 infotainment system, and power-adjustable heated and cooled leather seats.See All 2019 Ford Mustang Convertible Trims and Specs

After driving a 2019 Mustang, we can say it might be worth the wait for the upcoming 2020 model with the new High Performance Package. It will increase the output to 330 hp while also improving the handling and visual appearance. Ford"s 10-speed automatic is pretty quick but lacks the finesse we like in traffic, so we"d get the six-speed manual. We"d also opt for a coupe over the convertible because despite being quiet and not taking up any trunk space, the Mustang"s top requires you to use an old-school latch before opening or closing it. For around $6,000 less, we"ll take gladly take a coupe even if the back seat feels more cramped.

The Mustang and Camaro are venerable rivals having stood face to face as pony-car class-champions for ages. The Camaro is available at a similar price to the Mustang but comes stock with a smaller 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder engine with less impressive outputs of 275 hp and 295 lb-ft. The Camaro"s engine is marginally more economical in highway conditions with EPA estimates of 20/30/23 mpg, and manages almost identical sprint times; the Camaro Convertible manages the 0-60 mph sprint in 5.3 seconds. The Camaro"s powertrain nevertheless feels as competent as the Mustang"s, however, the Camaro also has the option of a more powerful 3.6-liter V6 engine (335 hp and 284 lb-ft). The Camaro also comes stock with a selection of performance-based underpinnings, and with its lighter curb weight, it"s more willing to be pushed - it"s also more capable at the limits. The Mustang is a better all-rounder, however, with a larger trunk, more passenger room, and intuitive controls. But the Camaro offers more value at the base level in terms of features and performance, which makes it the sensible buy.See Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Review

Though unavailable in a convertible body style, the Dodge Challenger is still a popular alternative to the Mustang. As a coupe, the obvious advantages to the Challenger are a practically large trunk, which has five cubic feet more than the Mustang Convertible does, and usable rear seats with adequate seating for three across. The Challenger, at the base level, is outfitted with a few more premium features than the Mustang, has greater tech functionality, and the option of all-wheel-drive. The Challenger offers easier livability, but the Mustang is just a bit more enjoyable to drive as the Challenger"s hefty curb weight and stretched wheelbase limit its capability - especially when in town. Sacrificing the top-down thrills of the Mustang for the better value and practicality of the Challenger would be a reasonable decision, but the enthusiast would prefer the Mustang"s fun-to-drive character and open-top thrills.

New for 2018 is the availability of a convertible if you purchase the EcoBoost Standard Mustang. The V-6 Mustang is no longer available because the I-4 Turbo has more power and most likely there is a cost savings for Ford.

2. Extensively reworked, the 2018 Ford Mustang GT’s 5.0L V8 is more powerful and revs higher, plus its engine note can be adjusted via the all-new active valve exhaust system (optional). Once again, output has yet to be specified.

5. Exterior changes make the 2018 Ford Mustang look both leaner and meaner (lower, remodeled hood and grille, new position for hood vents, refined aerodynamics). Also, for the first time the entire Mustang range will feature all-LED front lights. In the rear, you’ll notice the revised LED taillights, new rear bumper, and new available performance spoiler.

6. The 2018 Ford Mustang offers more customization options than before, starting with three new paint colours (including signature Orange Fury) and 12 distinct wheel choices.

7. Improved touch points and visual cues with a more premium look and feel characterize the new cockpit. In particular, the restyled seating surfaces feature new patterns and colour choices, while the instrument panel sports an updated Mustang badge and is available with a customizable 12” LCD panel featuring Normal, Sport, and Track modes.

8. The 2018 Ford Mustang will also be the safest ever with available technologies like Pre-Collision Assist with pedestrian detection, distance alert, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and a Driver Alert System.

10. Performance enthusiasts, take note: The Mustang Shelby GT350 will return for 2018 as a carryover from 2017, except for some new paint options. However, look for a completely new Shelby GT500 to follow in 2018 as a 2019 model.
