Will there be a 2025 Ford Maverick?
Yes there will be a 2025 Ford Maverick. The Maverick continues to sell incredibly well and has become a popular vehicle for both consumers and businesses. Many of your local businesses have turned to the compact hybrid truck for its versatility and it’s common to see the small truck as a fleet vehicle.
Not only is it now a fantastic fleet vehicle, some of your friends or people you know have likely purchased one of the compact trucks. This awesome compact truck has become popular for its versatility and ability to use a daily driver with a truck bed. If you are looking for a crossover or small SUV with the added benefit of a truck bed, the Maverick is the vehicle for you. This popular vehicle was only introduced at the start of the decade and became available the 2022 model year. The compact truck is famous for its price, hybrid engine option, and versatility as a vehicle.
What is the gas mileage on a 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid?
The gas mileage on a 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid will likely be 42 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. Whereas the gas engine gets 23 mpg in town and 30 mpg on the highway at its best and 20 in town and 24 mpg on the highway on the Tremor model with AWD.
The base engine on the Ford Maverick is the gas engine, a 2.0 liter four cylinder that gets 238 horsepower. This engine is spunky and while nowhere near as powerful as the engines in the Ford Ranger or F-150, it gets the job done for its size. The optional engine is the hybrid engine, with a 2.5 liter four cylinder mated to an electric motor for a combined output of 191 horsepower.
The Lobo trim is a new option on the 2025 model, and we are unsure if this is a special edition or a trim that will be here to stay. However this trim is worth mentioning here because the traditional ICE receives an upgrade that encourages the Maverick to drift the rear wheels when exiting a corner. The Lobo engine has the same format but instead of being naturally aspirated it gets turbocharged and has a seven speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
What are the trim levels on the 2025 Ford Maverick?
The 2025 Ford Maverick has the following trims, XL, XLT, Lariat, Tremor and Lobo. The hybrid engine is only available on the XL, XLT and Lariat trims, with AWD being a new option for hybrid engines. The XL starts as low as $28,000 while the Lobo starts as low as $43,000, the rest of the trims fall within that price range.
The traditional gas engine is the only option on Tremor and Lobo trims as those are performance oriented trims designed for off-roading and sport performance respectively. The XL can be a bit basic, so starting with something fancier like the XLT and Lariat trims can be a better choice as they both have available luxury packages and come with more features standard.
A 13.2 inch infotainment screen is standard on every trim now. The 2025 Maverick will also see a refresh, with a slight redesign in the grille, with darker trimmed headlights, a new bumper and grille, and available tow packages which make it so the vehicle can tow up to 4000 pounds.
Summary
The 2025 Ford Maverick sees a refresh with more impressive styling and a more performance oriented Lobo trim. It also adds AWD to hybrid powertrains as an option instead of the standard front wheel drive. The Maverick has standard Ford trim orientation, except the new top tier trim is a fancy sporty trim monikered Lobo.
The hybrid engine is more oriented to daily driving whereas the gas engine is trying to make this compact truck look more like its bigger and older siblings, the Ranger and F-150. We will update this space with more information as we learn more about the upcoming model year of the Maverick.
