Better settle in, folks, because it appears Ford plans to drag out the release of 2015 Ford Mustang pricing information. Today, the company dangled a single number: The one attached to the base, 3.7-liter V-6–powered Mustang. What the convertible versions, turbo four-cylinder EcoBoost, V-8 GT, 50th Anniversary Edition coupe, or the SVT Mustang will cost is still a mystery.
But all is not hazy—we now know that the starter car will run $24,425 when it arrives later this year, and that order books are open as of today. Standard equipment on the V-6 model includes a backup camera, HID headlights, a tilting-and-telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel, proximity entry and push-button start, and Ford’s SYNC infotainment system with a 4.2-inch display and two USB ports. We previously learned what a few of the Mustang’s key options will be, as well as how much some of them will cost. Oh, and that the every GT will include a standard line lock for sweet-ass burnouts.

The level of standard kit on the V-6 car—not to mention the all-new chassis with a fully independent suspension—makes the $1090 increase over the least-expensive 2014 Mustang more than palatable, and buyers will be able to saddle their ponies with richer options than before. Add-ons include an eight-inch touch screen with navigation, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, a paddle-shiftable automatic, and selectable drive modes; we don’t yet know what these will cost. A 50 Years appearance package (which differs from the limited-edition 50th Anniversary model) for EcoBoost and GT models will run $1595; it will include a chrome-trimmed grille, 50 Years badging, special wheels, anniversary floor mats, and some special interior stitching.
Output from the three available engines is only estimated at this point, with Ford stating the V-6 will make more than 300 hp and 270 lb-ft, the EcoBoost four more than 305 hp and 300 lb-ft, and the GT’s V-8 more than 420 hp and 390 lb-ft.
Amusingly—and you can bet this was on purpose—the 2015 Mustang’s base price is $125 lower than the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro‘s. We might still be waiting on final output figures for the Mustang’s three available engines, but Ford appears to already have Chevy beat on one front—at least until the bow-tie brand prices the 2015 Camaro.
