Ford Mustang EcoBoost and GT US pricing surfaces ahead of launch
Leaked figures suggest the 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost will start at $25,995 in the US, with the V8-powered GT from $32,925, ahead of the model’s late-2014 arrival.
Pricing details for the 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost and GT have leaked ahead of the car’s US market launch, giving buyers a clearer view of the new model’s positioning. According to figures reported by CarWale, the EcoBoost variant will start from $25,995, while the GT will be priced from $32,925.
The entry-level EcoBoost Mustang is set to feature Ford’s 2.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, producing more than 304bhp and 406Nm of torque. Standard equipment on this trim includes LED fog lights, a body-coloured rear spoiler, six-way adjustable front seats, aluminium interior trim and active noise reduction. The price puts the EcoBoost $1,570 above the base model, which starts at $24,425.
For buyers seeking more power, the Mustang GT will offer a 5.0-litre V8 engine delivering 420bhp and 528Nm of torque. The GT inherits all the features of the EcoBoost and adds a ventilated bonnet, dual exhaust system, 18-inch alloy wheels, stronger brakes and electronic line-lock. This places the GT at $32,925, a substantial step up from the EcoBoost, reflecting its position as the performance flagship of the regular Mustang range.
How the leaked prices compare with official figures
Ford had previously announced the 2015 Mustang would start from $24,425 in the US, but had not detailed variant pricing. The leaked figures for the EcoBoost and GT now give a more complete picture of the line-up. The EcoBoost’s price premium over the base car is explained by its more advanced engine and extra standard kit, while the GT’s V8 power and chassis upgrades justify its higher cost.
Global plans and market positioning
Ford has made clear its intention to take the Mustang global with this generation, though India is not currently on the official list of launch markets. In the US, the EcoBoost is expected to appeal to buyers looking for a more efficient but still quick sports coupe, while the GT remains focused on enthusiasts seeking classic V8 performance.
For UK buyers, official pricing for the 2015 Mustang started at £28,995, with both EcoBoost and V8 options confirmed for the market. For further details on the UK launch, see2015 Ford Mustang UK pricing starts at £28,995.
