The 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Premium represents a significant evolution in the iconic Mustang lineup, introducing a turbocharged four-cylinder engine option that aims to blend performance with efficiency. This model is part of the sixth generation of Mustangs and showcases a modern design along with advanced technology features.
Engine and Performance
At the heart of the EcoBoost Premium is a 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-four engine. This powertrain produces 310 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 320 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 rpm, providing robust acceleration and responsiveness. The engine’s design allows for quick power delivery, making it competitive against traditional V8 engines in terms of performance metrics. The EcoBoost variant can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 5.5 seconds, which is impressive for a four-cylinder vehicle.
The Mustang EcoBoost comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission, but an optional six-speed automatic transmission is also available. The car features selectable drive modes—Normal, Sport, Track, and Weather—that adjust throttle response and steering feel to enhance driving dynamics depending on conditions.
Fuel Efficiency
One of the standout features of the EcoBoost model is its fuel efficiency. The EPA rates it at 21 mpg in the city, 32 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg combined. This makes it an attractive option for buyers looking for a balance between performance and everyday usability.
Design and Interior
The exterior design of the 2015 Mustang retains classic styling cues while incorporating modern elements such as LED headlights and a more aggressive stance. The fastback silhouette enhances aerodynamics while paying homage to its heritage. Inside, the cabin is designed with driver comfort in mind, featuring high-quality materials and supportive seating.
The EcoBoost Premium trim includes leather-trimmed seats that are both heated and ventilated, enhancing comfort during various weather conditions. It also comes equipped with advanced technology features such as Ford’s SYNC infotainment system with a touchscreen display, Bluetooth connectivity, and an optional Shaker Pro audio system.
Cargo Space
Despite being a sports coupe, the Mustang offers practical cargo space. With rear seats folded down, it provides about 13.5 cubic feet of trunk space, which is sufficient for luggage or other gear needed for road trips.
