The Ford Mustang is enjoying its seventh straight year of being the world’s best-selling sports coupe.
The Blue Oval marque made the announcement based on the company's analysis of registration data from S&P Global Mobility.
The nameplate — which celebrated its 58th birthday over the weekend — retained its crown led by the Mustang Mach 1, and the Mustang Shelby GT500.
“When enthusiasts around the world get into a Mustang, they unlock that feeling of freedom and experience the open road,” Ford Blue President Kumar Galhotra said.
“That feeling, along with iconic design, awesome powertrains and a passionate global community all contribute to making Mustang a sales leader for the seventh year in a row.”
Ford said that according to its internal data, sales in the United States show the strongest demand for the aforementioned model, cornering 76 percent of its global sales.
Ford also shared that its sales grew by 54.3 percent in New Zealand, 37.3 percent in Brazil and 16.6 percent in South Korea.
“For those who wanted a Mustang of their own, customers' retail orders nearly doubled in 2021 compared to the year prior,” the company noted.
“Mustang Mach-E, the newest member of the Mustang family, also had a successful 2021 as one of the hottest products at Ford. In addition to a strong first full-year of sales, the Mustang Mach-E earned a trophy-case worth of press awards, including the coveted North American Utility Vehicle of the Year honor, Car and Driver’s 2021 EV of the Year, 2021 Wards 10 Best award and a 2022 Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Award. Mustang Mach-E was also recently named a finalist for the 2022 World Car of the Year,” Ford added.
Ford Philippines has been selling the Mustang Shelby GT500 since September last year.
