Rumours Of The Ford Mustang Sedan Seems To Be Gaining Momentum

The carmaker is getting ready to introduce a number of new models that will start at less than $40,000. A new automobile ought to be one of those. Although the type of sedan is still unknown, a Ford official may have just revealed that it will be a four-door Mustang.

Ford’s head of Ford Blue and Model E, Andrew Frick, stated in an interview with Automotive News that the company wants “to expand on the Mustang family as we move forward” in response to a query on sedans and why they make sense at the moment. He continued:

‘It’s going to have to make sense within a family that we may already offer. And it’s going to have to be very cost-effective for us to do it. That’s what we’re focused on in general with a lot of our new affordable products. We want the concepts to be right and the costs to be even better.’

Rumour has it that Ford is contemplating a Mustang with four doors. Jim Farley, the CEO of Ford, expressed confidence in the company’s ability to produce a Mustang with various body shapes, such as a four-door, in May 2024 “as long as these vehicles have all the performance and attitude of the original”.

A report that said Ford showed dealers a Mustang sedan known as the Mach-4 coupled with an unidentified off-road version of the car that resembled a safari appeared a few months after Farley made those remarks.

Is A Sedan Needed By Ford

There isn’t a sedan in Ford’s current portfolio. Since the Fusion’s production stopped six years ago, the carmaker has not offered one. Before that, the Mustang was the sole vehicle in the brand; the Fiesta, Focus, and Taurus had all died out.

Ford’s underutilised Flat Rock facility in Southeastern Michigan only makes the Mustang. Along with the Pony Car, it once assembled the Ford Fusion, Lincoln Continental, and Mazda 6, but those vehicles are no longer in production.

Sales of Mustangs are up so far this year, but they are thousands below what they were ten years ago. Adding a four-door to the Mustang lineup would probably boost plant utilisation without being too expensive for Ford to create or accommodate.
