Buyers snapping up mighty Mustang
August 30, 2016
Ford’s mighty Mustang in right-hand-drive is proving a massive hit with UK buyers and is already topping the high-performance sports coupe sales charts after just a few months on sale.
Ford UK started taking orders for the car last year and since then has recorded more than 4,000 Mustang sales to date, with a total of 2,317 registrations in 2016 so far.
This puts the Mustang comfortably at the top of the table against rivals, the closest being the Jaguar F-Type with 1,446 and outselling the likes of the Mercedes SL, Audi TT and Porsche 911 in the sporting coupe sector.
Figures show that 70 per cent of customers have opted for the 5.0-litre V8 engine, with the remaining 30 per cent preferring the 2.3-litre EcoBoost.
Since June this year, all Mustang models have been fitted with a new SYNC 3 infotainment system as standard. This includes a redesigned eight-inch touchscreen and faster performance, plus the ability for drivers to control their connected smartphones, audio, navigation, and climate functions with improved voice commands.
