Fuel-economy ratings for specific 2015 Ford Mustang models are out, and V-6 purchasers will be slightly disappointed.
The savvy enthusiasts at Mustang6g—the identical forum that posted the car’s very first official photos from a copy of Autoweek prior to it hit newsstands—have now posted Monroneys of several production ‘Stangs, all of which have been identified on Ford’s customer website. Here are the 3 models in question and their EPA numbers (where applicable) compared to 2014:
- 2015 Mustang V-6 Automatic: 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway (2014: 19/31)
- 2015 Mustang V-6 Manual: 17/28 (2014: 19/29)
- 2015 Mustang EcoBoost Manual: 22/31 (no 4-cylinder in 2014)
Unsurprisingly, the 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-4 is the thriftiest and beats the fuel-economy estimates for the bigger-displacement 3.7-liter V-6 in the base model. And utilizing the EPA estimates of the V-6 as a guide, it is probably that the EcoBoost with the 6-speed automatic will attain higher city and highway numbers than the manual. Why the V-6—which, as we’ve detailed previously, has barely been touched from 2014—returns worse mileage in a car that’s supposed to be just 25 pounds heavier certainly has a lot to do with the new final-drive ratios, which are greater numerically. The curb-weight distinction, like just about each and every bit of Mustang news all year, was also leaked by Mustang6g and put to rest rumors that the 2015 auto would be as significantly as 300 pounds heavier. Still, what offers?
All 3 of the window stickers on Mustang6g.com indicate sales to Virginia dealers, which confirms our suspicion that Ford has been taking orders for months ahead of the new Mustang’s planned fall arrival. The sticker PDFs are currently live on Ford’s internet site, and we had been able to track 1 of the cars to Purvis Ford of Fredericksburg, Virginia, where the dealer’s site lists a 2015 V-6 coupe and a hyperlink to one particular of the window stickers. As the Mustang is nonetheless in preproduction mode, consumers can not officially order one particular unless their local dealer agrees to sell them a car that has currently been allotted to dealer stock.
