Ford Maverick 2025 Updates: A Comprehensive Overview

Ford has made significant updates to its midsized Maverick truck lineup for 2025, enhancing its appeal with a refreshing new look. This year, the Maverick comes equipped with modern infotainment features and, by popular demand, introduces a hybrid all-wheel drive (AWD) option.

Introducing the Hybrid All-Wheel Drive

Previously, the hybrid version of the Maverick was limited to front-wheel drive (FWD), making it less versatile for those who needed a truck for tougher tasks. The new hybrid model retains the same power capabilities as previous models, but now offers the option of AWD.

Under the hood, the Maverick Hybrid is powered by a 2.5-liter hybrid engine combined with a 94kW electric motor, producing a respectable 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque. The AWD variant delivers impressive fuel efficiency, achieving 40 miles per gallon in the city, while the FWD version reaches 42 mpg.

Price Range and Trim Options

The 2025 Maverick lineup starts with the entry-level XL model, priced at $26,295, which includes the hybrid engine as standard. However, for those wanting AWD, an additional $2,220 is required. This feature comes included in the Lariat trim, which starts at $36,735. Notably, this represents a considerable increase over the 2022 hybrid Maverick, which was available starting at just $20,000.

A Modern Design Revamp

One of the standout aesthetic changes is the front fascia, which has shifted from a traditional crossbar plaque with the logo to a more modern design reflecting Ford’s SUV styling. The new grille now sports options for daytime running lights inspired by the larger F-150 model.

Advanced Infotainment Features

Ford also introduced a significant upgrade in the technology department with the addition of a new 5G modem and a larger 13.2-inch infotainment screen. Operating on Ford’s latest Sync 4 software, this system facilitates wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. The expanded screen is designed to enhance user experience, featuring touchscreen buttons for HVAC controls and a new 360-degree camera view.

Towing Assistance and New Models

For those who tow, opting for the Lariat or Temor (gas-only) models will provide standard features like Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist. These tools are invaluable for Maverick owners who actively use their trucks for towing activities.

Excitingly, Ford has also launched a new model called the Maverick Lobo. Unlike its counterparts, this specific model is designed for the street, featuring a lower ride height and a performance-tuned suspension. Notably, it includes unique interior branding and a special "Lobo Mode" tailored for track use.

Market Appeal and Sales Success

Ford reports that approximately 60 percent of Maverick customers are trading in vehicles from other brands, many transitioning from smaller cars and SUVs. The compact size of the Maverick juxtaposed with its practicality and affordability makes it an attractive option for many buyers.

Hybrids from Ford have been showing exceptional sales performance, and the Maverick continues to be a success story in the midsized pickup segment. Although Ford has indicated it will not be producing an electric version of the Maverick, there's speculation about an upcoming electric truck that may share its name with a classic Ford model, similar to the revival of the Capri.

Conclusion

The 2025 Ford Maverick presents an exciting blend of technology, design, and performance improvements. With options like the hybrid AWD, advanced infotainment, and various trims catering to diverse needs, the Maverick remains a compelling choice in the burgeoning midsized truck market.
