Next Gen Mustang To Have Hybrid And AWD Versions?

Ford literally shocked the automotive industry and its fans when it launched the Mustang Mach-E electric crossover a while ago - the Mustang name is no longer exclusive to the two-door pony car! It turns out the Blue Oval could be planning even more surprises for the famed moniker if we are to believe a new report from Autocar.

The British publication seems to be in the know that the next-generation Mustang could receive a hybridized version. The new Mustang is slated to arrive at some point in 2021 or 2022 and will once more be a global player for the company, following the market success of the S550-generation car with more than 55,000 sales in Europe since its launch in 2015.

The hybrid Mustang is nothing new. Ford has said was coming for several years now. They have also mentioned an EV Mustang coupe--though that could be a coupesedan according to some. This isn't new information.

Make a 4 door AWD V8 with a manual and I’ll buy, Meets my practicality needs of 5 seats and ability to go through snow, and the fun side for a daily driver. Ford is underestimating what a life style vehicle could do. Look what 4 doors did for the Wrangler.

The's some chatter that the Mach E's platform would underpin a Mustang "Grande" coupesedan. I'd rather have a V8, but these days we know better.

I love the Mustang 4 door and the Mustang station wagon that Ford toyed with in the early days of the Mustang.

New Mustang is going to be based on the Explorer/Aviator platform so some sort of four door version is certainly possible.

V8 Hybrid with AWD sounds tasty.

Will muscle car buyers accept a Mustang that offers an AWD option? And what will they do with owners that have an AWD Mustang?

There was no enraged outcry over the AWD Challenger, though AWD is of dubious merit except in places where the weather is icky.

I just hope they do not make the Mustang larger than it already is. We don't need another Challenger sized coupe. A BMW 4 series coupe should be what Ford should be striving for.

The next Mustang isn't really all new. The all-new Mustang on the CD6 will be larger.
