How Much Space Is In a Ford Mustang?

‍What are Ford Mustang Interior Dimensions?

Ford Mustang is a two-door design car that can leave you wondering how comfortable the back seat is. Interestingly, the Mustang has ample frame space to give enough room for the back seat.

Most Ford Mustang trims have a front-seat legroom measurement of 45.1 inches, while there’s a rear legroom measurement of 29 inches. There’s front-row headroom of 37.6 inches, and rear headroom of 34.8 inches. However, with the convertible Ford Mustang, there's 29.2 inches of legroom. Overall, there’s 84.5 cu ft of passenger volume.

Note that the backseat space may feel a little cramped, especially for tall adults. You can also install child safety seats with the sets of Latch connectors on the Mustang’s rear seats.

Ford Mustang Cargo Space

The Ford Mustang has a cargo capacity of 13.5 cubic feet, which is enough for a sports car. You can fit some golf bags or three to four suitcases. It’s also easier to load items into the trunk thanks to the low liftover height.

With the convertible, you get 11.4 cubic feet of cargo space.

How Do AutoMakers Measure the Trunk Space?

Auto manufacturers will measure the height, width, and length of the Mustang to get an accurate estimate.

Being a two-door sports car means you can’t drop down the back seats for that extra trunk space. The manufacturer will only take the three estimates above to come up with an accurate estimate.

The 13.4 cubic feet of space includes Mustang’s contours and curves, not forgetting the trunk door slope. That means whether you are four passengers in the car or two, the trunk space will still be 13.4 cubic feet. With that cargo space, you can fit a few suitcases or some golf bags. It's also easier to load and unload, thanks to the far-reaching trunk door.

How Does the Ford Mustang Compare to its Competitors?
