What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Ford Mustang?
3 Answers
The 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Ford Mustang is 5.5 seconds. Taking the 2020 Ford Mustang as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4794mm, width 1916mm, height 1391mm, wheelbase 2720mm, fuel tank capacity 58.9l, and curb weight 1702kg. The 2020 Ford Mustang features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.3T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 299PS, a maximum power of 220kW, and a maximum torque of 434Nm, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
I just drove the Ford Mustang EcoBoost version, with an official 0-100 km/h acceleration time of around 5.5 seconds. In actual driving, the acceleration from standstill to 100 km/h in the city feels very quick, with strong push-back sensation and responsive engine performance. However, the car tends to slip at launch, so I recommend switching to high-performance tires or turning off the electronic stability control. Acceleration is slightly slower by a few tenths of a second in rainy conditions. For my daily commute on highways, the acceleration advantage is obvious when overtaking. If the engine is poorly maintained or low-quality fuel is used, the acceleration time can exceed 6 seconds. I suggest regular checks on spark plugs and transmission fluid. Performance improves after the break-in period, enhancing driving pleasure.
As a car enthusiast, I was deeply impressed by test-driving the Ford Mustang GT. Its 0-100 km/h acceleration takes about 4.5 seconds, and the combination of the V8 engine roar with quick gear shifts is absolutely thrilling. There are differences among configurations: the EcoBoost version takes just over 6 seconds, while the Shelby edition can sprint under 3.7 seconds. Engaging sport mode delivers more immediate acceleration, but actual performance varies with road conditions—for example, it's slightly slower on gravel roads. When buying a used car, remember to check the engine's health, as older models may see acceleration drop to 5-6 seconds. I recommend experiencing it safely on professional tracks rather than racing on public roads.
