The Best-Selling Numbers
The Mustang’s global share increased half a point in 2018 from 2017, putting the Mustang at 15.4% global market share. This growth can be attributed in part to the all-new, hot-selling Mustang Bullitt.
“We broke the mold when Ford launched the Mustang 55 years ago… Nothing says freedom, the wind in your hair and the joy of driving like Mustang; it’s an icon. The roar of its V8 on a spring day, there’s nothing better. No wonder it’s the most popular sports coupe in the world.”– Jim Farley, Ford president, global markets
Global sales data are based on IHS Markit 2018 total new vehicle registrations for all sports car segments. U.S. sales are based on 2018 industry reported sales.
