The Mustang is arguably the most iconic vehicle that Ford has ever produced, defining an era of how an American muscle car should be. Now, Ford wants to sort of reinvent the Mustang by introducing a new version that comes with four doors. Yes, the Blue Oval brand is reportedly planning to introduce a four-door Mustang.
It seems that Ford is seriously considering green-lighting the four-door Mustang, as a prototype model was presented during the brand’s dealer meeting in Las Vegas, which was attended by Ford Executive Chair Bill Ford and Ford CEO Jim Farley, Autoblog reports.
Ford is reportedly looking to offer the four-door Mustang with a sticker price of under USD 40,000 (around P2.43 million). The automaker is also said to be targeting a zero to 100 km/h acceleration time of under four seconds. In terms of how it looks, those present at the dealer meeting in Las Vegas described it as a stretched version of the two-door Mustang coupe.
Some of the individuals at the event also referenced the four-door Mustang as having proportions similar to the likes of the Porsche Panamera. Meanwhile, Ford executives reportedly said that the four-door Mustang will offer more rear passenger space than the Panamera.
Details regarding the powertrain remain a mystery as of this writing. However, reports suggest that Ford will use a hybrid setup for the four-door Mustang, with some stating that it could feature a hybrid V8 configuration. On the other hand, some reports indicate that the Mustang sedan could still feature the familiar 5.0-liter Coyote V8. Some reports even suggest a manual transmission remains part of the discussion.
Ford’s possible Mustang sedan could still feature the familiar 5.0-liter Coyote V8. Some reports even suggest a manual transmission remains part of the discussion — a rarity in today’s market where automatics dominate nearly every segment.
Of note, Ford has yet to release an official statement about its so-called Mustang four-door. With that, there’s no definite time yet as to when Ford will introduce or if it will introduce the Mustang four-door. But some reports state that Ford could launch it sometime in 2028 or 2029.
Autocar’s Take
The Mustang having four doors can be considered an out-of-the-box idea that could change the way we consider what a Mustang looks like. Some purist might raise their eyebrows at the possibility of having a Mustang as a four-door sedan. But it might also give the Mustang a fresh take and could attract new clients or owners, which could ensure its longevity, especially in the electrified era. However, before jumping to conclusions, note that Ford has yet to release an official statement on whether or not the four-door Mustang would become a reality.
