Interior and tech
The Mustang’s muscle car persona is just as visible inside the Mustang, with the general dash architecture taking inspiration from Mustangs of the past. It’s not quite as commodious as you might think with its enormous exterior dimensions.
Updates to the latest model are mostly of the tech variety, comprised of a new infotainment system and digital dial pack. The dials don’t have quite the same amount of variability in use as other digital dial packs, but the contoured, glossy screen and crisp graphics look great, while the personalisation options within are endlessly entertaining.

Seats severely lack side support, and although comfortable for short periods, don’t offer much support for longer drives. Recaro seats are available as an option, which we would highly recommend.
It’s a great cruiser, though. Cabin noise is fairly low – unless you’re really extending the engine – and there’s only a rustle of wind and tyre noise. It all feels very American in fact, but in the best way possible. Pity the view over the long bonnet is of a rainy, windswept UK rather than the Pacific Coast Highway.
