Ford is reportedly developing a four-door Mustang sedan, internally referred to as the ‘Mach 4’, with a potential launch slated for 2028 or 2029. Following a private dealer presentation of an early prototype, reports from The Wall Street Journal and Automotive News suggest the vehicle will feature a silhouette and size similar to a Porsche Panamera, though with increased rear-seat room. The sedan is intended to compete in the performance sedan segment, a market Ford exited in the U.S. after the discontinuation of the Fusion in 2020. To compete with models like the Dodge Charger, the Mach 4 is expected to utilize hybrid power, with some reports suggesting a possible hybrid V8 engine. Performance targets include a starting price below $40,000 and a 0-to-60 mph acceleration time of under four seconds. This development aims to expand the Mustang lineup beyond traditional coupes and the electric Mach-E SUV by offering more practicality without sacrificing high performance. This development is part of a broader strategic outlook for Ford, which has also showcased other future projects. Recent reports confirm the ‘Fathom’ will be an affordable midsize electric pickup built on the Universal Electric Vehicle (UEV) platform, with U.S. pricing expected to start at $28,350 and pre-orders slated to begin in early 2027. Ford claims the Fathom will offer an interior volume greater than a Toyota RAV4 and will feature a high-resolution touchscreen and a ‘frunk’. ~~Additionally, Ford is working on an entry-level, boxy SUV designed to be~~ Regarding the ~~company’s most affordable model.
