What was new for the Ford Mustang in 2020?
In the 2020 model year, Ford gave the four-cylinder Mustang a more muscular engine and legitimate track-ready features. A 330-horsepower EcoBoost four-cylinder engine was added and other hardware that was borrowed from V8-powered models. That arrangement was available on the coupe and the convertible and you might find the EcoBoost Handling pack if you come across a coupe. Standard equipment that was new included a FordPass Connect smartphone app and new 17-inch wheels.
