The 2025 Mustang is in a league of its own thanks to it outliving the competition, but how does it compare to itself? That's what we’re here to find out. We'll be looking at two areas of both Mustang models to see if newer is better, or if old is gold. Here's what to expect when comparing the new Ford Mustang 2025 vs last year’s muscle car.
Key Takeaways:
- For both year models, the GT Fastback takes the recommendation.
- The 2025 Mustang is a 60 year anniversary, coming with some unique features if you're lucky enough to find one.
- The 2024 Mustang is just as good, coming in at a slightly lower price for some trims.
Will there be a 2025 Ford Mustang?
Yes, there will be a 2025 Ford Mustang.
The 2025 Mustang doesn't see too many new features, thanks to the 2024 model entering a new generation. The 2025 Mustang does see a new, unique edition though. This is the 60th anniversary of the Mustang name, and Ford wanted to honor that.
While this 60th anniversary edition may be hard to find since only 1965 units have been made, it's still something special to keep an eye out for, especially if you're a car enthusiast. This edition comes in red, white, blue, and Brittany Blue. If you don't manage to get a 60th anniversary edition, don't worry. Ford made the digital gauge cluster mimic the instrument panel of a 67’ Mustang for both 2024, and 2025 models.
How much will the 2025 Ford Mustang GT cost?
The GT line starts at $46,560.
If you're in the market for a GT line of Mustangs, you can expect to be looking around the $46,000-$52,000 mark for 2025. This year's model comes with a few standout features. These are a 5.0L Coyote V8 engine that is capable of generating 486 horsepower, and 418 lb-ft of torque. When you're at the track, you'll be able to use the track apps that come standard on the 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster. This will show your acceleration, lap times, and other metrics to help you beat your personal best.
While the 2025 comes with those features, so does the 2024, and if you don't mind having an “older” model, you can have it in the range of $42,000-$47,000, a pretty drastic decrease in price.

While the prices may vary from year to year, the one thing that remains the same is Car and Driver's recommendation. For both year models, they recommend that you get the GT Fastback. This is because the “V-8 exists” and they “recommend taking advantage of it” when looking at the standard engine options across the line.
If you have some extra cash to spend, and want even more from your Mustang, they say that you can add the GT Performance package because it “gives you 19-inch wheels, big Brembo calipers, a 3.73-geared Torsen differential, as well as some sweet appearance bits.”
