Overview
The Ford Maverick 2025 continues to establish its position in the compact pickup segment with numerous notable improvements. In this new version, Ford has refined the exterior design with a refreshed grille, along with new color options and redesigned wheel sets. The Maverick maintains its original design philosophy: a compact, fuel-efficient pickup that still meets basic cargo-carrying needs.
The standard 2.5L hybrid powertrain remains the same as the previous version, offering impressive fuel efficiency of approximately 5.9L/100km (40 mpg) in the city. Users can also choose the more powerful 2.0L turbocharged EcoBoost engine with optional all-wheel drive. The highlight of the 2025 version is the appearance of an improved Tremor off-road package with an upgraded suspension system and additional terrain features.
Driving
The driving experience of the Maverick 2025 is quite impressive for a pickup. With a platform based on a unibody frame rather than the traditional body-on-frame chassis, the Maverick delivers a driving experience closer to a crossover than a conventional pickup.
The standard hybrid version provides 191 horsepower, sufficient for comfortable city and highway driving. Gear shifts are smooth and steering response is quite sensitive. However, if you need more powerful acceleration, the 2.0L EcoBoost engine with 250 horsepower is a better choice, especially when towing heavy objects.
A plus for the Maverick is its ability to handle corners and stability when turning, thanks to the unibody frame and refined suspension system. This combination delivers confidence when driving at high speeds on highways or mountain roads.
The improved Tremor off-road package for the 2025 version adds an additional 25mm of ground clearance, advanced terrain control systems, and underbody protection plates, transforming the Maverick into a worthy option for those who enjoy exploring trails.
Interior
The interior of the Maverick 2025 is designed to be practical yet modern. Ford has upgraded the quality of materials with contact surfaces made from softer plastics and better-finished details compared to the previous version. The central touchscreen has been upgraded to 10.2 inches (from 8 inches) and supports standard wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.
The new SYNC 4 infotainment system provides a better connected experience with over-the-air software update capability and cloud service integration. The optional 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster is also a valuable highlight in the 2025 version.
The spacious interior features a rear seat that can comfortably accommodate three adults. Smart storage compartments are distributed throughout the cabin, from phone holders with integrated wireless charging to hidden storage compartments under the rear seats.
The truck bed maintains its 4.5-foot size with the versatile FLEXBED system that allows customization according to usage needs. The payload capacity of up to 680kg (1,500 lbs) and towing capacity of up to 1,800kg (4,000 lbs) (with the EcoBoost engine) adequately meet the needs of most users.
Buying
The Ford Maverick 2025 continues to maintain a competitive price advantage in the pickup segment. With three main versions – XL, XLT, and Lariat – along with optional packages like FX4 and Tremor, the Maverick suits various customer demographics.
The standard hybrid version provides an advantage in fuel efficiency, while the EcoBoost version meets power and towing needs. The Tremor package is a good choice for off-road enthusiasts, while the limited FirstEdition package offers exclusive features in limited quantities.
Ford provides a standard 3-year/36,000-mile warranty for the vehicle and a 5-year/60,000-mile warranty for the powertrain. Notably, the hybrid system is warranted for up to 8 years/100,000 miles.
Significantly, Ford has improved the ordering and production process, reducing waiting times compared to previous years – an issue that caused considerable frustration when the Maverick first launched.
