The 2025 Ford Mustang ushers in the second model year of the iconic pony car’s all-new seventh generation. It remains largely unchanged in terms of updates, which isn’t surprising given its recent overhaul, but there is a notable difference in at least one aspect of the Mustang. Its price rose compared to the 2024 model as expected with a new model year. However, the steep increase in the cost of V8 engine models in particular is definitely noteworthy.
The least expensive of the Ford 5.0L Coyote V8 engine-powered 2025 Ford Mustang models is the GT, which starts out at $45,560, not including the $1,595 destination freight charge (DFC). That’s an increase of $2,700 compared to the 2024 Mustang GT, which was priced at $42,860 to start.
The GT Premium trim also got a $2,700 price increase for the 2025 model year, and it’s no surprise to learn that the range-topping Dark Horse variants are also significantly more expensive than their 2024 model year counterparts. The “regular” Dark Horse now starts at $63,380, reflecting a $2,745 increase, while the Dark Horse Premium sees the largest price hike, starting at $68,375 – up $3,745.

Aside from pricing, there are a handful of minor changes on the way to the 2025 Ford Mustang. The pony car loses four colors that were available for the 2024 model year, although it does gain two new hues. Dual-zone climate control is now standard fare, while the EcoBoost trims lose the 2.3L High Performance Package (HPP).
The 2025 Ford Mustang does gain the 60th Anniversary Package in honor of its milestone anniversary, which can be fitted on GT Premium models in both coupe and convertible configurations along with either the six-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission. This bundle adds a host of unique touches that pay tribute to the original Mustang, including special badging, stripes, a unique grille, 20-inch Dark Gravity Gray wheels, and brings Brittany Blue back to the exterior color lineup.
Production of the 2025 Ford Mustang began on on November 4th, 2024 at the Flat Rock Assembly plant, as reported by Ford Authority.

$45-55K for a GT is pure insanity.
Yup other companies laying off and their raising their prices. Instead of lowering and selling on volume it price gouging. Most parts suppliers and manufacturers have lowered prices I have friends in the bizz.
With GM killing the Camaro, it is a predictable move. And they will not have problems selling them.
I want a 2025 Mustang GT premium package 20 in wheels and in Kona Bue Black leather—-is there a recall on the EcoBoost engine for coolant intrusion —there should be my 18 mustang with only 62272 miles had that happen the car was never in a accident and properly maintained
Ka Ching!
More money for less- the Ford way…….
That’s insane. 80% of America can’t afford that and how many of the remaining 20% want a Mustang?
