2025 Ford Mustang and 2024 Chevrolet Camaro Comparison

Future Ford Presents a Comparison: 2025 Ford Mustang and 2024 Chevrolet Camaro

The 2025 Ford Mustang roars into the future, keeping its muscle car legacy alive while embracing modern performance, technology, and style. The 2025 Ford Mustang keeps things exciting with a range of powertrain options to fit different driving styles like the 2.3L EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder, the iconic 5.0L V8 in the Mustang GT, or the track-focused Dark Horse variant. Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission and available 6-speed manual ensure the Mustang stays true to its performance roots. The introduction of a special 60th Anniversary Edition for the 2025 model year marks the iconic legacy of this powerful machine. Meanwhile, the 2024 Chevy Camaro, a longtime rival in the pony car battle, offers its own take on American muscle—but does it have what it takes to match the Mustang? In this comparison, we will dive deep into the specs of the 2025 Ford Mustang, and contrast it with the Camaro to see which one is faster, more tech-forward, and capable of giving customers all over Carmichael, Fair Oaks, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, and Folsom what they desire!

Engine Specs and Power Comparison

Continuing with the momentum of its bold 2024 redesign, the 2025 Ford Mustang continues to dominate the muscle car scene with powerful engine options and exhilarating performance. At the top of the lineup, the 2025 Ford Mustang Dark Horse unleashes 500 horsepower from its 5.0-liter Coyote V8, delivering precision-tuned performance and aggressive track capability. Right behind it, the GT model harnesses 480 horsepower from the same V8 powerhouse, balancing raw strength with daily drivability. For those who prefer a mix of efficiency and power, the EcoBoost model delivers 315 horsepower from a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, providing impressive speed while maintaining excellent fuel economy. Speed varies by engine choice, with 0-60mph times ranging from just under 3 seconds to 4.9 for the EcoBoost engine. By contrast, although the 2024 Chevy Camaro brings its own muscle with three engine choices, none of them are able to reach the zealous power of the Mustang. Camaro offerings are a 275-hp 2.0L turbo-four, a 335-hp 3.6L V6, and the 6.2L V8 that pumps out 455 horsepower in SS models. The Mustang is faster than the Camaro as well, with the Camaro accelerating from 0-60mph in between 4 and 5.2 seconds depending on engine choice. Every 2025 Ford Mustang comes equipped with standard drive modes, allowing drivers to customize steering response, throttle input, transmission behavior, and stability control to adapt to different driving conditions. For those looking to elevate their track-inspired performance, Performance Packages are available on EcoBoost and GT trims, enhancing handling, braking, and overall driving dynamics for a sharper, more responsive ride.

Interior and Exterior Comparison

The 2025 Ford Mustang has made a leap forward in cockpit design, featuring a high-tech, driver-focused interior. The massive 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster seamlessly blends into the 13.2-inch center touchscreen, offering a sleek, modern look that outshines the Camaro’s more traditional dashboard. Ford has also integrated wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a premium Bang & Olufsen sound system, and a customizable digital interface, allowing drivers to personalize their driving experience. The 2024 Chevrolet Camaro holds its own with an 8-inch touchscreen, but it feels a step behind in terms of tech innovation. While it includes wireless smartphone integration and an available Bose sound system, the overall layout lacks the futuristic appeal of the Mustang’s digital-heavy cabin. Both cars stay true to their classic muscle car aesthetics, but the 2025 Ford Mustang brings a more aggressive stance, sharper LED lighting, and a refreshed front grille that exudes power. Ford also brings back classic Mustang colors, like Grabber Blue and Atlas Blue, giving nostalgic fans something to celebrate. Meanwhile, the 2024 Chevrolet Camaro remains bold and aggressive, but with no major styling updates for its final model year. While Chevy offers eye-catching colors like Riverside Blue and Panther Black, the Mustang’s refreshed exterior and track-ready Dark Horse trim give it the upper hand in terms of modern styling.

Trim Offerings

The 2025 Ford Mustang is now available at our Sacramento dealership in seven distinct trims, which includes the exclusive 60th Anniversary Edition, wrapped in stunning retro-inspired Brittany Blue paint. Kicking things off, the EcoBoost model delivers 300 horsepower from its 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth, fuel-efficient power. Even as the entry-level Mustang, it doesn’t cut corners on technology or comfort, featuring a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster, a 13.2-inch infotainment system, dual-zone climate control, a 6-speaker stereo system, and remote keyless entry and push-button start. The EcoBoost Premium trim elevates the Mustang experience with more luxury and tech, adding heated and ventilated front seats, premium faux-leather upholstery, a leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel, wireless charging, a nine-speaker audio system, and color-shifting ambient interior lighting. Stepping up to the GT unlocks the legendary V8 experience.
