The Mustang retains its sales crown for 2021 led by the pinnacle of 5.0-liter V8 performance, the Mustang Mach 1, and the track-ready Mustang Shelby GT500, the most powerful street-legal Ford and most advanced Mustang ever.
According to Ford internal data, the
United States remains home to the strongest demand for the Mustang
representing 76% of global sales. Other markets that saw growth in
Mustang sales in 2021 include New Zealand, up 54.3%, Brazil, up 37.3%,
and South Korea, up 16.6%. For those who wanted a Mustang of their own,
customers retail orders nearly doubled in 2021 compared to the year
prior.
Ford looks to continue this momentum with five new special
editions in the lineup, including the Mustang Ice White (also available
on the Mustang Mach-E), Shelby GT500 Heritage Edition, GT California
Special, Coastal Limited and Stealth. From the Mustang EcoBoost to
Shelby GT500, there is a special edition at every performance level for
muscle car enthusiasts.
The Mustang gains eight new color options
for 2022 as well, including Ford Performance-exclusive Code Orange on
the Shelby GT500, while Brittany Blue Metallic returns specifically for
Shelby GT500 Heritage and Coastal Limited models. Additional new colors
are available across the lineup - including Atlas Blue Metallic, Cyber
Orange Metallic Tri-Coat, Dark Matter Gray Metallic, Eruption Green
Metallic, Grabber Blue Metallic and Mischievous Purple Metallic.
The
Mustang Mach-E, the newest member of the Mustang family, also had a
successful 2021 as one of the hottest products at Ford. In addition to a
strong first full-year of sales, the Mustang Mach-E earned a
trophy-case worth of press awards, including the coveted North American
Utility Vehicle of the Year honor, Car and Driver’s 2021 EV of the Year,
2021 Wards 10 Best award and a 2022 Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Award.
The Mustang Mach-E was also recently named a finalist for the 2022 World
Car of the Year.
