Specs at a Glance
The 2026 Ford Mustang continues to bring excitement. This legendary sports car's iconic styling, modern technology, and exhilarating performance make it hard to resist. While there are multiple trim levels to pick from, some drivers may be deciding between the Mustang EcoBoost Fastback and the Mustang GT Premium Fastback. Let's take a look at how these two trims compare.
Performance
Underneath the hood of the Mustang EcoBoost Fastback sits a 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Ford tunes it to develop a rousing 315 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. A 10-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels. Selectable drive modes let you adjust the car's performance to your preferences.
Motivating the Mustang GT Premium Fastback is a thrilling 5.0-liter, Ti-VCT V8 engine. It's rated to develop 480 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, thus taking acceleration to the next level. Choose between a 6-speed manual with rev-matching and a 10-speed automatic transmission. Along with the extra muscle comes upgraded brakes. An active exhaust system is on the Mustang GT Premium Fastback's list of options.
Appearance
The Mustang EcoBoost Fastback commands a lot of attention. Its sleek roofline and athletic stance help create an exciting look. Instantly recognizable tri-bar LED headlamps and taillights enhance the car's signature styling. In the rear, dual exhaust outlets pay homage to the Mustang's muscle car heritage. A modern set of 17-inch alloy wheels also comes standard.
The Mustang GT Premium Fastback has an even more aggressive exterior. A GT-specific fascia helps it to stand out. You'll also notice this trim's hood vent, quad exhaust outlets, and unique 19-inch alloy wheels.
Features
Because of the Mustang EcoBoost Fastback's impressive list of comfort features, it's great for daily commuting and weekend drives. Dual-zone automatic climate control and supportive bucket seats come standard. You'll also be surrounded by the latest tech, including a 13.2-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen with Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto® smartphone connectivity. Other highlights include a configurable digital gauge cluster, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and Ford Co-Pilot360 safety features.
Aside from packing more muscle under the hood, the Mustang GT Premium Fastback also features some luxurious upgrades. While power-adjustable front seats with heating and ventilation enhance comfort, a premium audio system delivers a richer, more powerful sound. Remote start, multi-color ambient lighting, and leather upholstery are also included.
