2021 FORD MUSTANG VS CHEVY CAMARO INTERIOR AND INFOTAINMENT
When the weather cools and you’re spending less time with the windows down, you can stay warm with heated seats in either car. Sit back and enjoy some music, which you can program using an available 8-inch infotainment touchscreen. Each car’s available touchscreen comes with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™.
The standard Chevy Camaro sound system includes six speakers, which can be upgraded to seven or nine. You might get a bit more of those concert vibes, though, in the Ford Mustang. The available B&O™ sound system transmits 1,000-watts of digitally processed sound to cancel outside noise. Tunes pass through 12 high-performance speakers and a trunk-mounted subwoofer.
FORD MUSTANG VS CHEVY CAMARO SAFETY FEATURES
Safety is always paramount, even when you’re having fun. The Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro each come with a rear-view camera, and for the Ford Mustang, this includes a built-in washer for easy removal of dirt and debris.
When the risk of a collision is present, both cars have safety features that keep you alert. Each vehicle comes with a lane-keeping system to help you stay aware of your position on the road. The Chevy comes with available Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert and Front Collision Alert. These features, however, require a trim-level upgrade on the Chevy.
The Ford Mustang, on the other hand, comes standard with Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and the Blindspot Information System (BLIS®). These—plus the Ford Mustang Lane-Keeping System—come standard with every Mustang as part of Ford Co-Pilot 360™.
