Reports of Ford developing an off-road version of the Mustang, reportedly called the Mustang Baja, first surfaced two years ago, and the idea now appears to still be alive. Over the decades, the Mustang has evolved far beyond its original formula, spawning different powertrains and even an all-electric SUV in the form of the Mach-E. Now, Ford could be preparing to take the iconic nameplate in yet another direction with a serious off-road variant.After all, Porsche turned the 911 into the off-road-focused 911 Dakar, drawing inspiration from its victory in the 1984 Paris-Dakar Rally. With Ford's own off-road pedigree and experience, there's little reason it couldn't give the Mustang a similar treatment. According to a video by Automotive News, Ford has shown the Mustang Baja to its dealers already, suggesting an unveiling could be on the horizon. It stated:"They've shown dealers an off-road Mustang called Baja. As far as we know, that's still in the works at some point. So, again, this is Ford realizing where it makes its money, where it has the most passionate customers. It's around Bronco, Mustang, F-Series. They're going to build on that."AdvertisementAdvertisementFord CEO Jim Farley has previously hinted that the company's next supercar could emerge from its Raptor off-road division, fueling speculation that it may borrow technology and components from the Mustang GTD.Here's a render shared on Facebook by X-Tomi Design that comes close to our imagination of a Mustang off-roader.While details remain scarce, the Mustang Baja could either be a raised, off-road-focused version of the iconic coupe or take an entirely new form, with Ford seemingly aiming to strengthen its position as a leader in the off-road segment.Ford's 4-Door Mustang Is Reportedly ComingMotorbiscuit recently reported that the dealers were also shown an early prototype of the four-door Mustang on stage during a meeting between Ford executives and dealers in Las Vegas. The Mustang has been a two-door sports coupe since it first hit the roads in 1964, but now, things are about to change.AdvertisementAdvertisementSome of the people present at the meeting said that the size of the four-door Mustang was very similar to the Porsche Panamera. The vehicle's design also reportedly matched the Panamera in some respects. Is Ford taking design inspiration from Porsche?Ford did not reveal what the four-door Mustang would be called, but based on information from an earlier dealer meeting, the vehicle has reportedly been referred to as the Mach 4. In February 2025, Ford filed a trademark for the same term, though it has not been confirmed as the production name.Ford told dealers that the new Mustang will accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph in under four seconds, is expected to start at under $40,000, and will offer more rear-seat space than the Panamera.However, it will take a while before the four-door Mustang hits the road since the report states the vehicle won't enter production until at least 2028.
