GM’s crosstown rival, Ford Motor Company, just unveiled the all-new seventh-generation 2024 Ford Mustang at the 2022 North American International Auto Show, also known as the Detroit Auto Show. The new 2024 Ford Mustang will rival the Chevy Camaro from the GM camp.
The latest 2024 Ford Mustang announces its arrival with fresh exterior styling, hitting the pavement with a low, long stance. The restyled frontend features new headlights that are pulled back into the fenders, incorporating Tri-Bar LED lighting elements, while the GT and EcoBoost models will stand apart thanks to unique fascia elements, including a larger, more aggressive front intake for the GT.
The 2024 Ford Mustang will once again be offered as either a hardtop coupe or soft-top convertible. Customers will have 11 exterior colors to choose from, while wheel sizing is set at 17 inches as standard, up to 19-inches for the GT with the option for 20-inchers. Further vehicle customization is available via the Mustang Design Series.
Inside, the 2024 Ford Mustang’s redesigned cabin features a digital cockpit layout that was inspired by fighter jets, and includes two customizable digital displays mounted high on the dash. Ford also integrated some of the hard buttons into the display for a cleaner look. Cloth upholstery is standard, while synthetic leather upholstery is on the options list.
Under the hood, the new Mustang can be had with one of two engines, including the turbocharged 2.3L four-cylinder EcoBoost, as well as the naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 Coyote, the latter of which will “deliver the most naturally aspirated horsepower of any Mustang GT.” Exact output figures are still forthcoming. Both a six-speed manual and 10-speed automatic are on hand for cog swaps.
The next-generation 2024 Ford Mustang will go on sale in the U.S. next summer. Assembly takes place at Ford’s Flat Rock Assembly plant in Michigan.

Yikes. 😬 This is not great.
Yawn.
Is it just me, or does the new Mustang look an awful lot like the current Camaro?
Yes. I’m seeing current Camaro styling points on this one.
wow… maybe thats why I LOVE the way this new Mustang looks. Because it has Camaro styling cues. As a 6th gen Camaro owner, I AM LOVING THIS NEW S650 MUSTANG. SHEEEEEEEEEESSSSHHHHHHH, that car is beautiful.
To me, it doesn’t look like a Ford & that’s a good thing. Looks more sporty than the EV Charger Daytona concept, but they both have more angular, squared off lines with inverted headlights.
Will there even be a new ICE Camaro or will GM let Corvette do the job? A Camaro reskin would be so easy but GM doesn’t always do the logical thing
I think it still clearly looks like a Mustang without a doubt. If I saw that driving down the street, I would recognize that as a Mustang immediately. The sharp/boxy body lines, the rear quarter shape and the hood all have features that I liked about the 6th gen Camaro. If I could only have one car, I will probably always choose Camaro over Mustang because of nostalgia and personal preferences. But if finances allow me to have both or if the 7th gen Camaro gets cancelled, I would happily be a 7th gen Mustang owner.
Although I’ve heard rumors that the 7th gen Camaro is just delayed, not cancelled. I could be wrong but I have a feeling that the 7th gen Camaro will be based off the CT4 chassis and come out around 2026. The S650 Mustang is just beautiful, I hope this motivates GM to make a good 7th gen Camaro.
Think about this, the 6th gen Mustang came out in 2013 as a 2014 model and the 7th gen Mustang comes out in 2023 as a 2024 model. The 6th gen Camaro came out in 2015 as a 2016 model, I wouldn’t be surprised if the 7th gen Camaro comes out in 2025 as a 2026 model. Jim Farley said in an article that the Mustang Mach E made the 7th gen Mustang possible, now GM released a Blazer EV to compete with the Mustang Mach E. But then again I’m just speculating, take this with a grain of salt.
But without the absolutely tiny side windows and a updated interior. Looks good.
I feel like the rear is missing something. Maybe a black applique would do it, I don’t know.
Awesome looking and still offering a 6 speed manual.
Come on GM make a 7th gen Camaro.

the back quarter panel.
Exactly my first thought
I love my 21 Camaro LT1 but looks like I’ll be going to Mustang for the replacement in a few years. I will NOT replace a V8 with anything electric.
Yes! First glance automatically thought of the Camaro 😂
OMG!!!! They made it look like a Camaro on the outside and a Kia Sportage on the inside!
*Redesigned 2024 Ford Mustang Unveiled As Chevy Camaro
god… that Ford Camaro, I mean Mustang is BEAUTIFUL. I actually want one, no jokes.
Looks like the current gen, they didn’t change it enough.
Slightly different fenders bumpers head and taillights, bronco steering wheel. Same mid council, is it the same chassis 😃
I disagree. They changed too much. Just seems like change for the sake or change. They’d have been better off just giving it a second minor facelift.
Maybe so, but there is no doubt there is a lot of carry over parts. A non enthusiast would think it’s just a refresh on the same chassis and the same generation. Ford made what might be the very last muscle car ever build feel like a phone in. At least GM did something special for there iconic sports car the vette and everything was new and no carry overs
Alright. I actually don’t disagree with you. Yes, they should have either done a full ground up redesign or treated it like the Charger and made some minor changes to the lights, etc. This half measure doesn’t seem worth it.
Completely disagree. They changed enough to make it modern without breaking the bank. GM should do the same thing with the Camaro and CT Cadillacs for the next 5-10 years.
I get there isn’t the volume to spend money on full redesigns on those cars, but this couldn’t have cost much and it looks like a modern automobile again. Nissan did the same with their Z.
The flip side is GM is changing nothing and discontinuing it and Dodge has been the same for a decade and is eventually some day going ev.
2024 Ford Camaro.
I love it! Thank you Ford! Improved the looks over the current generation, especially the rear-end. Solid V8 music. That gray GT looks incredible! This looks to be my next daily driver, if dealers don’t price them over MSRP.
Again, THANK YOU FORD!!!
I think of the new Hyundai Sonata when I look at the rear
A bit of a styling downgrade in my opinion. A lot of odd lines awkwardly placed over the existing body. On par with the 2019 Camaro Restyling.
I’m sure the interior materials will be fine, but the whole area directly under the screen (HVAC vents and controls) is a mess.
The Mustang still has better driver visibility than any of the Camaro’s since Chevy brought it back in 2010 or 09. I had a 2011 SS and hated the poor side rear visibility. Chevy just refused to redesign the cockpit to equal the Mustang. No wonder sales have trended downwards and now the a Camaro is being killed again.
Swing and a miss.
Looks a little like a GM product, which is why I may have taken a liking to it. Its a sharp good looking Mustang I wouldn’t mind owning. I believe it will do well.
At least Ford gives a new Mustang, whereas GM gives up on the Camaro and decides to redesign the Trax instead despite having a new Trailblazer sitting in the same segment.
Seems like they went to a lot of trouble when they could have just added two new colors, dropped some content, added some new stripe packages, and let it die after the 2024 model for the second time. Sad again ev gm and a big mistake going forward!
They could have, like GM, but it is encouraging that they didn’t.
It’s a nice iterative upgrade, especially in the interior, but it’s not an overhaul. Given the hype before the big reveal, I expected something wilder (like a Mustang EV sedan). But perhaps that’s because EVs tends to get all of the attention now. It’s actually nice to see an ICE vehicle can still get some attention.
OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH SHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
THAT S650 MUSTANG LOOKS SWEEEEEEEEEET. As a Camaro fan and owner, I love this new Mustang. SHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSHHHHHHH……
If GM doesn’t give us a 7th gen Camaro, we have this beauty.
That black and grey combo……. oh my god, I can’t contain myself. It’s so beautiful.
The entire thing was designed with a knife. Not a fan.
After sleeping on it a night. That interior is a mess. Additionally, the front and rear of the exterior don’t match the middle of the car.
I agree, took me some time looking at better pictures and came away not liking the screen design. Just a big flat rectangle with no design sense. Initially I was wowed, but now not so much. I find some of GM’s designs with more curvature or integration far superior.
i would have preferred to see a more traditional dash just updated with better materials. The over-sized screen looks odd, And seems like a fair amount of plastic – hard to teel in the pics.
I’ll be keeping my ’17 Mustang for a long time. Are the blind spots as bad in this as the real Camaro?
