What is the displacement of the Mustang?
2 Answers
The displacement of the Mustang is 2.3L. Displacement refers to the volume of fluid inhaled or discharged per stroke or cycle. Taking the 2020 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 Mustang features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.3T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 299PS, maximum power of 220kW, and maximum torque of 434Nm, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
The Mustang actually comes in quite a variety of displacements, as I know from driving it long-term, depending on the specific version. For example, the current new Mustang offers a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with around 310 horsepower, which is fuel-efficient and suitable for city commuting. There's also a 5.0-liter V8 engine that delivers over 390 horsepower, providing fierce acceleration, though with higher fuel consumption. I personally enjoy driving the 5.0 version, especially on long highway trips—the engine roar is exhilarating, and the car feels more stable due to its weight. But for daily use, the 2.3-liter is more economical; larger displacements require more frequent maintenance and can be a bit more troublesome to upkeep. Different displacements suit different moods: opt for the smaller one for daily commutes and the bigger one for weekend trips or spirited driving. Ford also released the Shelby version with a displacement exceeding 5.2 liters—that's a monster in terms of power. In short, it's best to check the year and configuration before driving to avoid choosing the wrong one.
