Tech Innovations
You won't believe how many tech features are new for the 2016 Ford Mustang. In fact, technology has come such a long way since the used 2012 Ford Mustang was new that gadget junkies will much prefer the 2016 Mustang. The all-new Sync 3 infotainment system is better than any of the technology that came before it, with a responsive touchscreen and an upgraded voice command system. Use Sync 3 to make hands-free calls or voice-to-text messages. You'll love how easy it is to stay connected without looking away from the road. The 2016 Ford Mustang is also big on safety innovations, with tech systems that scan the road and alert you to danger. These include blind-spot warning and forward collision alert.
Fuel Economy
Once upon a time, there wasn't much point in worrying about Ford Mustang fuel economy. It just wasn't possible to combine its heart-stopping speed with money-saving fuel-efficiency. These days, though, everything has changed. Modern drivers are demanding more mileage for their money, and Ford is listening.
For starters, take the EcoBoost engine - there was nothing like it back in 2012. Today, this turbocharged, 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine churns out 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque - giving you top-notch speed. It also gives you excellent fuel mileage, earning up to 22 mpg around town and 32 mpg on the highway.
Still, you might have your heart set on V8 power. We don't blame you - you want to get the most muscle out of your muscle car. Even when it comes to V8 power, the 2016 Ford Mustang has a healthy lead on the used 2012 Ford Mustang. For starters, its 5.0-liter V8 engine makes 435 horses and 400 pound-feet of torque. You probably already guessed it - that's more output than the V8 engine gave you in 2012. If you're like us, you're going to want to test-drive the 2016 Mustang as soon as possible.
