What’s New For 2026

For the newest model year, Ford introduces bold design options and heritage-inspired details that pay tribute to its legendary past. The new 2026 Ford Mustang® FX package channels the third-generation Fox-body Mustang® with nostalgic exterior accents and retro-inspired cabin design. Look for Oxford White wheels on Performance Package models, unique badging, white-out taillights, and a redesigned interior featuring plaid perforated leather inserts, blue and silver stitching, and carbon fiber trim from the Dark Horse.

Adriatic Blue Metallic has been added to the color palette across all models, and Orange Fury, discontinued in 2019, returns. These additions bring even more personality to the Grove City streets.
