What’s New in the 2025 Ford Maverick?
The 2025 Ford Maverick arrives with exciting updates, marking its fourth model year with a refreshed front end, an updated interior, and the addition of the Tremor package as a standalone trim. This popular compact pickup truck, which has been a hit since its debut in 2022, now offers more value and versatility, especially for hybrid enthusiasts.
Redesigned Front End and Updated Interior
Ford has given the Maverick a visual evolution, starting with a redesigned front end that adds more distinction between trim levels. The headlights now feature black accents, and top trims boast LED running lights. The front bumper extends upwards into the headlight housing, forming a distinctive "7" shape. While some might find this design reminiscent of partially boarded-up windows, it undeniably gives the Maverick a fresh look. Each trim level now comes with a unique grille design, ensuring the new Maverick looks both updated and familiar.
Inside, the Maverick showcases a significant upgrade with a new 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen, a noticeable jump from the previous 8.0-inch display. This larger screen utilizes Ford's Sync 4 software, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Additionally, the updated infotainment system includes a 5G WiFi connection, enabling over-the-air updates to keep the tech fresh and functional.
Hybrid Powertrain with Optional All-Wheel Drive
One of the most significant updates for the 2025 Maverick is the availability of all-wheel drive for hybrid models. This was the top request from owners, and Ford has delivered, offering the hybrid AWD option on the XL, XLT, and Lariat trims. Along with this, hybrid Mavericks can now opt for the Tow package, matching the 4,000-pound tow rating of the turbocharged four-cylinder models. The powertrains remain unchanged, with the 191-hp hybrid 2.5-liter four-cylinder as standard and the 250-hp turbo four-cylinder as an option.
Tech and Safety Enhancements
The tech upgrades don't stop at the new touchscreen. The 2025 Maverick now includes a 360-degree camera, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, and Pro Trailer Backup Assist. These features are optional on the XL and XLT trims but come standard on the Lariat and Tremor. The top trims also benefit from adaptive cruise control and lane-centering, enhancing the Maverick's appeal for those seeking advanced safety features. Across the lineup, active safety systems have been improved, ensuring a safer driving experience for all Maverick owners.
Pricing and Availability
With all these enhancements, the 2025 Ford Maverick does see a slight price increase. The base XL trim starts at $27,890, up $2,375 from last year's model. The XLT hybrid starts at $30,390, the AWD EcoBoost Lariat at $37,130, and the AWD Lariat hybrid at $38,330. The new Tremor model, positioned at the top of the lineup, starts at $41,390. Orders for the new Maverick open on August 1, with deliveries expected to begin later this year.
The 2025 Ford Maverick continues to build on its reputation as a versatile and capable compact pickup. With a refreshed design, enhanced tech, and the much-anticipated hybrid AWD option, it's set to attract even more fans. Whether you're looking for a reliable workhorse or a tech-savvy truck with advanced safety features, the new Maverick offers something for everyone. Keep an eye out for its arrival later this year and experience the latest evolution of Ford's popular compact pickup.
