Could a Four-Door Ford Mustang Be Coming?

Ever since Ford CEO Jim Farley suggested that the automaker could explore “other Mustang body forms,” besides the traditional two-door coupe and convertible models, there has been ongoing speculation about a potential four-door Mustang. If recent rumors are to be believed, we may be closer to that future than previously thought.

Automotive News and The Drive report that Ford recently held a private dealer event showcasing renderings of a Ford Mustang sedan. Naturally, devices weren’t allowed at the event, leading to information coming from four anonymous dealers who attended. Two dealers revealed that Ford referred to the Mustang sedan as a “Mach-4” making it sound quite intriguing.

Additionally, Ford previewed other interesting models at this dealer event, including an off-road Mustang, an EcoBoost-powered RTR Mustang, and a V-8-powered Mustang convertible featuring a manual transmission. It is possible that there could be a long wait before Ford officially reveals what was shared with dealers, yet the anticipation is palpable.

Could Ford Pull It Off?

A four-door Mustang could be a feasible project—Ford would likely stretch the current S650-generation platform, extending the wheelbase and adding an extra door. Maintaining a frameless door glass could simplify the transition, while an extended and slightly raised roofline would enhance rear seat accessibility. It’s easy to envision both EcoBoost four-cylinder and V-8-powered GT versions in the lineup. Moreover, depending on market competition, Ford could potentially introduce a track-special model mirroring the performance of other brands’ offerings.

For Doors’ Sake!

While a four-door Mustang has yet to be realized by Ford, an indirect leap was made with the introduction of the all-electric Mustang Mach-E. This marked the first all-new Mustang line since the original’s debut in 1964. Although it represents a distinct model unrelated to the traditional Mustang mechanically, it demonstrated Ford’s commitment to expanding the Mustang family into bold new directions.

To understand what Ford might envision for this sedan and the variants mentioned, look at the Bronco lineup, which currently includes both a full-sized and a sport model. This strategy reflects a desire to cater to a broader audience, potentially allowing a Mustang sedan to appeal to a new segment of buyers.

As a point of reference, rival Dodge is transitioning its Charger lineup to a dual-power-capable platform, with the rollout of all-electric Charger Daytonas expected by the end of the year, alongside gas-powered variants. Similarly, Chevrolet also appears to be considering an electric sport sedan to join the ranks—therefore, it would make sense for Ford to explore a four-door variant of its iconic Mustang.
