Rent Ford Mustang 2024 in Dubai

We still have a handful of the outgoing shape on the fleet, so it's worth saying plainly: this Ford Mustang 2024 rental in Dubai is not that car. It's the seventh generation, badged S650, with a cabin Ford rebuilt from the ground up and an engine range that got a real update alongside it. We deliver this grey coupe to your hotel, home or the airport within one to two hours of booking. Ours is the 2.3 EcoBoost automatic, and this page settles whether that engine is the right call, or whether the V8 is worth chasing instead.

The engine, and how it drives

Ford ended the old Mustang's run after 2023 and started fresh with the S650 for 2024, so this car sits on a new platform, not a reworked version of the last one. The analogue dials are gone. In their place is a digital instrument cluster that flows into a wide touchscreen, and the whole dashboard reads as one connected unit rather than a screen bolted next to a cluster. Under the bonnet, our car runs the 2.3-litre turbocharged four, making about 315 hp and reaching 100 km/h in around 5.5 seconds through a 10-speed automatic, sent to the rear wheels the only way a Mustang has ever sent power. The V8 GT sold alongside it got the bigger news this generation: Ford pushed the naturally aspirated 5.0-litre to about 486 hp, a genuine jump over the old car's roughly 450. That's not this engine's story, but it's worth knowing what you're skipping. The four is quick enough for a confident overtake on Sheikh Zayed Road and turns in lighter over the nose than the V8 does.

Boot, back seat and the daily use

Treat the rear bench as storage, not seating. This is a 2+2, and the back is fine for a jacket, a couple of bags or a child on a short hop, not for adults expecting their knees back afterward. Up front, two people get a low, well-shaped driving position with real room. The boot is where the coupe body earns its keep against the convertibles on our fleet: at about 382 litres there's no folding roof mechanism eating into the space, so it holds a large case and a soft bag without a fight, or a proper two-person airport run. Ground clearance sits around 130 mm, low enough that steep hotel ramps, tight mall entrances and the sharper Marina speed bumps all want a slow, angled approach rather than driving straight over them.

Fuel economy, the heat and the cabin

The EcoBoost four is the reason this Mustang stays cheap to actually drive, not just cheap to book. Figure on about 10 litres per 100 km in mixed city traffic, and with a 59-litre tank that clears well over 500 km between fills on a normal week, running on premium fuel. A V8 covering the same week would cost noticeably more at the pump, so the saving here is real.

Grey sits in the middle on heat. It won't punish you the way a black car does at midday, but it doesn't shed heat the way a white one does either, so expect the seats and wheel to be warm, not scalding, when you climb back in. The fixed roof works in the car's favour here since there's no soft top losing the fight with the sun, and the cabin is small enough that the front vents pull the temperature down within a couple of minutes once you're moving. The back seats get noticeably less airflow, one more reason to keep them for bags rather than people. Salik tolls and any RTA fines pass to the renter, and seat belts are required in every seat.

Who this coupe suits, and who should shop elsewhere

Book this Mustang if you want the current-generation shape, a car that turns heads without a V8's running cost, and one or two people to actually use it. It's a genuine way into the new S650, not a compromise version of it.

Ask about the V8 GT if the engine note is the reason you want a Mustang at all. Its idle and pull are what most people picture when they picture this badge, and the turbo four was never built to match that. Look elsewhere altogether, coupe or convertible, if your week means four adults or a real pile of luggage, since the back seats and the firm ride wear thin fast and a sedan or an SUV will treat your group better.

A few terms before you book. Being a sports car, it goes out against a refundable deposit confirmed at the time of booking, not a no-deposit deal. You need to be at least 25 to take the keys, the daily mileage allowance is 250 km, and every kilometre past that is AED 0.5. Get the engine choice right for what you actually want from the week, and this grey coupe is a solid way to try the new Mustang shape without paying V8 money for it.
