The 2025 Ford Mustang lineup gets more expensive, at least if you want a V8.
We’re entering the new Mustang’s second model year, and the switchover comes with $2,600 to $3,645 price hikes on the V8 model. Option packages also change across the entire lineup, including the EcoBoost trims, so changes for the 2025 lineup are a mixed bag depending on which specific Mustang you’re shopping.
Right off the bat, though, expect to see the Mustang you’re likely eyeing, the GT, get $2,600 more expensive. The base model along with the rest of the 2025 Ford Mustang range is available to build on the automaker’s configurator site, with the GT coupe now starting at $47,055. The GT Premium gets the same price increase, and now kicks off at $51,575. It’s also the only way you can get a V8 convertible (for $57,075 before options).
While the normal GT is plenty potent, with its 5.0-liter engine kicking out 480 horsepower, the 500-horsepower Dark Horse is still top of the tree, for the time being. It gets a heftier price hike, with its base MSRP starting at $64,875 or $2,645 more expensive than 2024. Finally, the Dark Horse Premium kicks things up another notch with a $3,645 bump, so building out one of those will set you back at least $69,870.
There is some good news on the GT pricing front, however. If you opt for the 10-speed automatic over the 6-speed manual, it’s now a no-cost option. The base GT also gets leather front seats and vinyl rear seats instead of cloth. Other packages do get more expensive, however, including $370 more for the active valve exhaust ($1,595), $300 more for the Brembo brake option ($1,995), and $200 more for the California Special package ($2,195).
Exterior color options are shifting as well, with Molten Magenta Metallic joining the lineup and Atlas Blue, Splash Yellow, Rapid Red and Dark Matter Gray going away. Other options shuffling on the GT means the $2,900 Premium High Equipment Group no longer includes the 12-speaker B&O sound system (that’s now a $995 standalone option), while brake caliper paint colors are changing for the GT and Dark Horse.
The EcoBoost costs the same as before, but…
If you’re looking for a more affordable Mustang, the 315-horsepower, 2.3-liter EcoBoost version still starts off at $33,515 like it did before. The $39,040 EcoBoost Premium also remains, as does the coupe and convertible option on both four-cylinder models. There is a “but”, though, and that comes with Ford’s elimination of the High Performance Package (HPP). For 2024, you could get the package adding a 3.55 Torsen limited-slip differential, heavier front springs, a larger rear sway bar, Brembo brakes and larger 19-inch wheels on summer tires. Now, that $3,475 is no longer an option.
Other small, but noticeable changes for the 2025 Ford Mustang EcoBoost is wireless phone charging — you can’t get it anymore, even on the Premium — and the Carmine Red interior can only be had with the $3,000 Premium High Equipment Group.
Whichever 2025 Ford Mustang you’re looking at, odds are it will be more expensive than it was for 2024. At the top end, a Dark Horse Premium with the Appearance and Handling Packages will cost you $80,550.
