Ford’s decision to offer the venerable Mustang in more markets (including Malaysia) has proved to be a good one, as the iconic pony car has been named the best-selling sports car in the world in 2016. This is according to IHS Markit global automotive registration data in the sports car segment.
According to the Blue Oval, over 150,000 Mustangs were sold last year, which was a 6% increase from 2015. From that total, 45,000 units were sold in markets outside the United States, representing a growth of 101% from international markets.
The Mustang is now sold in 140 countries, and Ford has plans to add another six more countries to that long list. This includes Brazil, the Palau Islands and the Ivory Coast, with three additional markets to be announced later. Not bad, considering 2016 is the second year of Ford officially exporting the Mustang to markets outside the U.S.
Ford also notes that since its decision to begin Mustang exports in 2015, a total of 98,000 units have made their way to customers outside its home country. The amount is part of 395,000 units of the sixth-generation Mustang that have been produced at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant since 2015.
The Mustang has been updated for the 2018 model year, which sees a revision to its engine line-up, the addition of a new 10-speed automatic transmission, aesthetic upgrades as well as additional kit.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Sports car? Vios TRD Sportivo sportier.
Amazing how this car in the US is only USD$30k (RM150k). In Malaysia, it is RM500k.
How it jump from RM150k to RM500k is beyond my understanding.
So high Excise duties.
Don’t worry our trade & justice dept. will get to the bottom of this is juat a matter of time. Wait & see that America will retaliate with 100% excise on Bolehland goods for sure.
Hehehe. I’m afraid Mr T will NOT bother la. M’sian Ford sales is INSIGNIFICANT to Ford anyway. Why bother ?? Mr T is Only interested in aiming its “cannon” or taxes if U prefer at the Republic of China.
The only problem is that nobody can afford it in Bolehland and our definition of a sports car is a souped up Myvi which many have difficulty handling:)
where is that carpark overlooking the twin towers located?
I guess the 2 star EuronNCAP did not bother anyone HAHAHAHA
We are quite lucky not to have too many Mustangs on the road. Type “Mustang fail” on YouTube and you’ll see what I mean.
The new Mustang was designed as a global affordably sports car which is why its sold at a base price of $26k (for 2.3L Ecoboost) while the Toyota GT86 retails for $26k. Just for the record, the Corolla Altis is selling at $19k in the US. Funny enough, the GT86 was sold here for RM240K (which was already ridiculous) while Ford Malaysia is greedy enough to ask twice the price at RM490k for the 2.3L Ecoboost Mustang. The person that came up with the pricing for Mustang in Malaysia should be fired immediately without any notice as if this car was correctly priced in Malaysia, the number of Mustang on the road would have been doubled, easily.
Obviously, this priveleged car is not for masses like you. Fullstop.
privileged*
Talk about privilege but can’t even spell it correctly? LOL
Why don’t you go to the states and see how common is the new Mustang over there. Its stated clearly they sold over 150,000 Mustangs last year. With such a low base price over there, even students can afford the new Mustang let alone take up the leasing plan for way lower price. Perhaps you should jump out of your privileged coconut shell and see the world as it is.
