2015 Ford Mustang Is the Most Popular Car on Earth

PEKIN, Ill. – The 2015 Ford Mustang is dense with performance and design elements that allow it to surpass other vehicles in its segment. All you need to hear is the throaty roar of its V6 or V8 engines, not to mention the all-new 2.3L EcoBoost.

Despite being an American best seller – it’s the original pony car after all – its reputation isn’t confined to the states. The 2015 Ford Mustang is the most popular car on earth right now, which should help it clinch a top sales position it has lost the Chevrolet Camaro for six years.

According to data gathered by HIS Automotive, the 2015 Mustang acquired 76,124 global registrations by Mustang owners, up 56% from 2014. This gave Ford the go-ahead to open the Mustang to 100 global markets for the first time.

It also turns out 25 of those markets that helped make the 2015 Ford Mustang the most popular car on earth are RHD (right hand drive) markets. To account for the road rules in these countries across the pond – including the U.K., South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and others – Ford will produce an RHD Mustang at its Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan.

Ford having to manufacture 2015 Mustangs with steering wheels on the right hand side of the vehicle is a testament to the sixth-generation Mustang’s virility in an unbelievable competitive pony car segment.

2015 Mustang Could Become Top-Seller Against Competition

PEKIN, Illi.– It has been six years since the Ford Mustang last surpassed the Chevrolet Camaro in sales, but that could easily change with the 2015 model year.

The 2015 Mustang could become the top-seller against competition like the Camaro and the Dodge Challenger now that Mustang sales are up 55 percent from last year.

To put it into perspective, Ford sold 56,571 Mustangs into May 2015, compared to Camaro sales of 33,938 and Challenger sales of 30,166, according to Autodata Corp. You don’t have to think hard to figure out why the Mustang is outselling its competitors this year considering the 50th-anniversary redesigned pony car comes with a new 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine that pumps out 310 horsepower and still gets 32 miles per gallon on the highway.

Style and performance are obvious factors in why the 2015 Mustang could become the top-seller against competition, but who’s buying these muscle cars? Surprisingly, millennials account for 35 percent of Mustang sales now, and many of them hail from Southern California where Mustang sales shot up 117 percent.

Based on the history of Mustang sales this year, Ford believes sales data for June will show another 40 percent increase in sales, placing Ford’s prized vehicle the closest it has been in six years to achieving a best-seller status for its segment.

Some skeptics with a wait-and-see attitude are quick to point out that the 2016 Camaro and its convertible version, due in spring 2016, could pose some difficulties for Mustang sales. But if you ask us, we’re confident that the Mustang will achieve a best-seller status and keep it!

If you see the New Ford Cars and New Ford Trucks at our Bartonville Area Ford Dealership, you’ll understand the quality manufacturing that goes into a Mustang, and that’s what it takes for a performance vehicle to be the best!
