Ford considering to build a four-door Mustang

When Dodge brought back the Charger in 2006, many were surprised to see the muscle car as a four-door sedan rather than a two-door coupe. But despite having two extra doors, the return of the revered nameplate proved to be a decisive move for Dodge as it became popular not just for enthusiasts but also with law enforcement.

In the future, the Dodge Charger may not only be the muscle car that's available with four doors. In a report by Autocar UK, Ford CEO Jim Farley shared with the publication that a four-door version of the pony car is being considered. Farley even went on to say that they will not build a Mustang that is not a Mustang, stating that there will be no room for a two-row crossover version with a Mustang badge.

“We will never build a Mustang that isn’t a Mustang. For instance, there will never be room for a small, two-row Ford SUV with a Mustang badge stuck on it. But could we do other Mustang body forms – a four-door or whatever? I believe we could, as long as these models have all the performance and attitude of the original,” said Farley.

So how would Ford come up with a plan to make the four-door Mustang a reality? Well, Farley mentioned that before they could come up with a new body style, they would first have to invest in making upmarket versions of the coupe as well as make ones that are affordable. Ford already has the Mustang GTD which is their answer to the GT3 RS so we're curious what will be at the other end of the spectrum.

As to how the four-door Mustang will eventually look, perhaps the Blue Oval might get inspiration from a design sketch from one of its designers. Back in 2022, Ford designer Christopher Stevens penned a sedan version of the Mustang. Based on the sketch itself, the four-door Mustang has an elongated roof that tapers towards towards the back. Since it's a design concept, Stevens had free reign to make the four-door pony car as stylish as possible. But should it become a reality, however, we can expect its design to be more practical and conservative.

With Ford contemplating making a sedan version of the muscle car, would it make sense for the brand to build a four-door version of the Mustang? And could it possibly set up a future rivalry against the Dodge Charger Daytona?
