2013-mustang-626x429

Ford has released pricing figures for its refreshed 2013 Mustang family, with the base V-6 coupe starting at $22,995. That’s $110 less than last year’s entry-level model; GT and Boss prices go up slightly.

Complete pricing for the new lineup:

  • V-6: $22,995 + $1195 for six-speed automatic ($110 decrease from last year)
  • V-6 convertible: $27,995 + $1195 for six-speed automatic ($110 decrease from last year)
  • GT: $31,095 + $1195 for six-speed automatic ($590 increase over last year)
  • GT convertible: $36,095 + $1195 for six-speed automatic ($590 increase over last year)
  • Boss 302: $42,995 + $6995 for Laguna Seca package ($1890 increase over last year)

For 2013, the Recaro seats previously limited to the GT500 (pricing for which also was recently released) and Boss are now available to all Mustang shoppers, while the GT gets new HID headlights and eight additional hp for a total of 420. All Mustangs also get new front and rear styling, as well as new paint and wheel options, and automatic-transmission models now include a rocker switch on the shifter to manually select gears (that should be satisfying).

A Premium package can be fitted for $4695, and includes a Shaker audio system and voice-activated Sync command system. Ordering the Premium package allows one to spec Track Apps, which display performance data in the gauge cluster. The V-6 again offers a Performance package for $1995; it brings a strut-tower brace, upgraded suspension and brakes, 255/40 summer tires, 19-inch wheels, a 3.31 rear-axle ratio, and some eye candy.

The GT options list still includes a $1695 Brembo Brake package featuring 14-inch vented rotors and four-piston calipers up front and 11.8-inch vented rear rotors, as well as unique tuning for both the suspension and stability-control system. GT shoppers can get the Brembo kit as part of an available Track package that also includes a limited-slip diff, the radiator from the Boss, upgraded brake pads, and an oil cooler.

Options for the 2013 Boss 302, one of our 10Best Cars for 2012, are limited to a package that bundles Recaro cloth seats and a Torsen limited-slip diff for $1995. Well, you also can upgrade to the Laguna Seca edition, which turned the second-fastest lap ever by a car under $60,000 during our latest Lightning Lap festivities. If you have the means, we highly recommend picking one up.
