It’s no secret to sports coupe enthusiasts near the Orange County, Long Beach, and Buena Park, California, areas that the 2023 Ford Mustang and 2023 Chevy Camaro sit squarely at the top of their segment. When you need a flashy, high-tech, powerful performance, though—which of the two models comes out looking better?
Our team at Norm Reeves Ford Superstore Cerritos has compiled this comparison of the 2023 Mustang and 2023 Camaro for your benefit. Read below to see how we compare the features we know you’ll care about most, so you can make an informed decision as you search for a sporty new ride!
As far as fuel economy is concerned, the 2023 Ford Mustang and Camaro see slight differences, with the Mustang getting an EPA-estimated 21 city/30 highway MPG and the Camaro offering 19 city/28 highway MPG. They’re both efficient sports cars that’ll get you where you need to go, though the Mustang will end up saving you more time and money at the pump in the long run.
Both the Mustang and Camaro use standard 4-cylinder I-4 engines, turbocharged to recycle exhaust gases and boost power. However, the Mustang makes better use of that boost, getting up to 310 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, while the Camaro delivers just 275 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. You’ll feel the acceleration difference behind the wheel.
Infotainment comes standard in both vehicles via the Ford Mustang’s SYNC® and the Camaro’s MyLink® systems. Both have intuitive interfaces, responsive touchscreens, and quality audio systems. It’s what makes sports cars as fun to ride in as they are to drive and look at.
Interior design and styling is a major plus in the Mustang and Camaro. Screens for infotainment and driver information look sleek and are well-integrated into the dash for classic yet modern looks.
In terms of available features, the Ford Mustang has more to offer. You can have the added convenience of a voice-activated navigation system with pinch-to-zoom capability, a feature you won’t find on the Camaro.
The 2023 Mustang and Camaro each seat four passengers. The Mustang includes more room to stretch out; however, with 45.1 inches of legroom. The Chevy Camaro falls a little short on legroom, with just 43.9 inches.
The Mustang and Camaro each use clever pockets and bins for storing items conveniently in the cabin for easy access while on the road, but the Mustang’s 13.5 cubic feet of cargo volume can get more of your beach gear to the Cali coasts than the Camaro’s slim 9.1 cubic feet in the trunk.
The Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro are two excellent muscle cars that look good and pack a powerful punch on the road. However, drivers who prize performance, interior materials, and ample cargo space may like what the Mustang offers.
