While some other automakers have abandoned the Australian market in recent years, Ford remains committed to it, though it is in the process of revamping its lineup in that particular country. The Blue Oval plans to launch five electrified models in Australia by 2024Â – including the Ford Mustang Mach-E crossover – as well as the Ford F-150, which will be produced in right-hand drive format for that market. The all-new 2024 Ford Mustang is also set to join FoMoCo’s Aussie lineup this year, though it will be arriving there a bit earlier than previously expected, according to Drive.
Originally, the 2024 Ford Mustang was due to launch in Australia in late 2023 – a bit later than the U.S. launch, which is slated for this summer. Now, the new pony car is set to arrive in Q3 – pending any unforeseen delays. There are quite a few unknowns, however, including specifications and pricing, with power ratings yet to be determined as the car hasn’t yet been subjected to Australia’s emissions testing.
The same is true of the 2024 Ford Mustang destined for Europe later this year, too. It does seem as if the GT and its naturally-aspirated Ford 5.0L V8 Coyote engine will continue to be the only powerplant offered in that region, with either a six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission, with both coupe and convertible models on sale. It also seems as if the more powerful Dark Horse variant will also be sold in Europe, too.
As for pricing and output, well, that information hasn’t yet been revealed. But given the fact that the Ford Ranger Raptor destined for Europe makes far less power than its American and Australian counterparts, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the iconic pony car follows suit, mainly due to stiffening emissions regulations.
We’ll have more on the Mustang very soon, so be sure and subscribe to Ford Authority for more Ford Mustang news and non-stop Ford news coverage.
