US dealers reportedly shown four-door Mustang prototype as Ford plots range expansion for famous muscle car
The first ever Ford Mustang sedan is getting closer to production reality after US dealers were reportedly shown a prototype of the four-door muscle car.
A Mustang sports sedan has been strongly speculated in recent years, intensifying in 2024 when Ford boss Jim Farley said it was considering more body styles for its famous coupe.
Ford executives have now shown a prototype four-door to select US dealers, according to auto-industry journal Automotive News.
The sedan is expected to adopt the Mustang Mach-4 nameplate, which has been trademarked by Ford, and have similar dimensions to the five-metre-long Porsche Panamera.
The two-plus-two-seater Mustang coupe is 4.8 metres long, and the sedan would be expected to sit on a stretched version of the two-door’s rear-drive platform to allow for two extra doors at the rear and extra rear legroom. Using the coupe’s platform would be a cheaper solution than creating an all-new architecture.
Shared powertrains would also keep a lid on costs, so also expect the coupe’s 5.0-litre V8 and 2.3-litre turbo four-cylinder engines and a 10-speed auto to feature on the sedan. As per the coupe, the V8 sedan could be offered with a six-speed manual.
The sedan would be a more genuine expansion of the Mustang family than the Mustang Mach-E midsized electric SUV that is related only in name.
A 2028 launch is anticipated for the Mustang sedan, and it should become available in Australia if the four-door follows the coupe’s global right-hand-drive production.
Pricing would likely sit somewhere between the Mustang coupe and Mustang convertible. The Mustang GT coupe and convertible are priced from $84,917 and $93,593, respectively, in Australia. Only the coupe is offered in four-cylinder EcoBoost guise, priced from $72,990.
The Mustang Mach 4 would make for a natural successor to the Ford Falcon XR8 V8-powered sedan, which ended along with local Ford production in 2016.
