The 2018 Ford Mustang comes standard with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which provides more power and better fuel efficiency than the outgoing 3.7-liter V6 engine, which was standard on the 2017 Mustang. The 2017 Ford Mustang also offered the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, which pumped out 310 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque for that model. The 2018 version of the engine should provide the same power, if not even more.
