The 2025 Ford Mustang EcoBoost continues to prove that a Mustang doesn’t need a V8 to deliver an engaging driving experience. As the entry point into the seventh-generation (S650) Mustang lineup, the EcoBoost combines modern turbocharged performance, everyday practicality, and unmistakable muscle car styling into one of the most compelling sports coupes under $35,000 in the U.S.

Powered by a responsive 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine producing 315 horsepower, the Mustang EcoBoost delivers strong acceleration while maintaining impressive fuel economy. With rear-wheel drive, a quick-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission, and an available Performance Package, it remains one of the few affordable sports cars that still emphasizes driver involvement.

For 2025, Ford makes several feature updates while maintaining the winning formula introduced with the redesigned 2024 model. The result is a refined, better-equipped Mustang that balances performance, technology, comfort, and value.
