With a typical sports car cabin, the 2016 Mustang Coupe has practical space inside, at least for the first row. As you step inside, you are greeted by a busy dashboard with center-mounted infotainment and HVAC with multiple AC vents. What makes it interesting is cabin quality and color options which eventually get better as we move up for the premium trims. The leather steering wheel looks nasty with all those controls. Behind that, you have a driver-oriented cluster with huge gauges and a digital information display. The front bucket seats have a 4-way driver and 2-way passenger adjustments. The comfort levels hike up with the optional 6-way power front seats with driver lumbar, memory recline, adjustable head restraints, and heated seatbacks.
At the rear row, you have 50-50 split-bench seats. The best you could do is fold the seat down to make space for cargo. With standard cloth upholstery, we get front leather and rear vinyl upholstery exclusively on the Premium trims. The trunk isn't that tight with its 13.5 cubic feet space that allows multiple trolley bags inside, so a holiday for two is not a bad idea. Apart from that, you can get dual-zone automatic air-conditioning, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, air filtration system, 2 12V DC outlets, front center armrest, and seatback storage pockets. Other than leather and vinyl upholstery, the cabin is trimmed with premium chrome and aluminum accents to give the Mustang a plush design.
