Ford Australia has revealed the 2025MY updates and pricing for the S650 seventh-generation Mustang, but the highly sought-after Dark Horse special edition will no longer be available.

Despite this disappointment, the legendary pony car remains a popular choice in the Australian market, with the S650 generation offering a range of exciting options.

The 2025 Mustang will feature a fresh exterior styling package and a new Prestige Paint option, available early next year when production begins.

For those seeking a more aggressive look, the GT Fastback and Convertible models can be equipped with the optional Bronze Appearance Pack, which includes Sinister Bronze accents on the grille, rear logo, fender badges, and wheels.

In addition to the exterior updates, the 2025 Mustang will likely retain its powerful engine options, including the EcoBoost and GT models. The EcoBoost offers a balance of performance and fuel efficiency, while the GT provides a more exhilarating driving experience. With its iconic design, impressive performance, and customizable options, the 2025 Mustang is sure to continue its legacy as a beloved sports car.

The 2025 Ford Mustang is set to hit Australian shores with a fresh coat of paint and a price tag that reflects the local market. While the base EcoBoost Fastback starts at a hefty AUD 66,990, the GT Fastback with a manual transmission will cost AUD 78,990, and the automatic version will be priced at AUD 81,990.

For those seeking a more open-air experience, the GT Convertible is available for AUD 87,667. A range of optional features, including appearance packs, MagneRide suspension, Recaro sport seats, and Prestige Paint, can further customize the Mustang to suit individual preferences.

However, it’s surprising that the 60th anniversary of the iconic nameplate doesn’t seem to be celebrated with any special edition or package in Australia. Meanwhile, back in the United States, the Ford Mustang 60th Anniversary Package, including the iconic Brittany Blue paint job, is making waves among enthusiasts.

The absence of a 60th-anniversary celebration in Australia is a missed opportunity for Ford to capitalize on the Mustang’s enduring popularity. Given the car’s iconic status and the strong market for performance vehicles in Australia, a limited edition or special package celebrating the 60th anniversary would likely have been well-received by local consumers.

Additionally, the pricing of the 2025 Mustang in Australia is significantly higher than in the United States. While this can be attributed to factors such as import duties, taxes, and the higher cost of living in Australia, it’s important to note that the Mustang’s pricing in Australia is still competitive with other performance vehicles in the same segment.
