2025 Ford Maverick: What to Expect

In 2022, Ford revised the compact truck segment by returning the Maverick nameplate to a hybrid pickup. The Maverick has attracted much attention and continues to grow in demand as a compact pickup truck with hybrid efficiency and boundless versatility. 

Why is the Maverick in demand? The Ford Maverick is competitively priced, has an impressive fuel economy, and has masterful interior storage. Like the other new compact trucks in its category, the Maverick doesn't have the traditional body-on-frame construction of larger trucks. Instead, it uses a unibody setup. While it may not be the type of truck your grandfather would choose, it does have a reasonably sized bed and impressive towing and payload capacities for a small truck that is making a noticeable impact on the market.

This blog will give an unbiased review of the highly anticipated 2025 Ford Maverick, reviewing the key features, specs, trim levels, configurations, technology, safety features, availability, and pricing.

At Go Auto, we are fully committed to helping customers find the right vehicle. Our team works diligently to make the process as easy as possible.

Engine

The current Ford Maverick has two engine options, which are expected to remain the same for the 2025 model year. It is available with a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine that produces 250 horsepower. The compact truck can be equipped with a hybrid powertrain that combines a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with an electric motor, producing an output of 191 horsepower.

Both powertrains feature front-wheel drive, with the base turbo engine available with all-wheel drive. The turbocharged engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the hybrid is equipped with a continuously variable automatic transmission.

Towing and Storage

The Maverick's maximum towing and payload capacities are impressive for such a small vehicle: 4,000 pounds and 1,500 pounds, respectively. It also offers a four-pin and seven-pin connector and an integrated trailer brake controller.

Regarding storage, the Maverick provides numerous cubbies and interior storage areas. The doors can accommodate large water bottles, the rear under-seat storage is relatively spacious, and the large center console has various useful dividers. The Maverick excels in small-item storage.

Accessing the under-seat storage requires lifting the entire rear seat bottom, which may be inconvenient if you have child seats installed.

Exterior

A potential update may bring a refreshed design to the 2025 Ford Maverick. Recent spy shots from Ford Authority revealed an uncovered prototype of the 2025 model. It showcases a new front-end design with a large body-coloured panel beneath the grille, updated headlights, and vertical slots in the grille.

A new colour, Eruption Green, is also expected to be available in the 2025 model. This colour is already offered on other Blue Oval models, including the Ford Bronco Sport, built alongside the Maverick.

Interior

Like the exterior, there won’t be any dramatic changes, but there will be enough for someone familiar with the car to notice.

In some versions, the 2025 Ford Maverick has a larger touchscreen to make it easier for the driver to access. More technology and colour selections are also available, providing more customization options than ever.

The 2025 Ford Maverick offers the same amount of space as previous models. While it may feel a bit tight, this is a positive for those who want to save space and typically only need to accommodate a few passengers.

The Maverick's cab has a boxy design, providing excellent visibility with big, square windows that allow clear sight in every direction. We appreciate Ford's practical integrated blind-spot mirrors, even though they could be larger.

Pricing

As of now, the exact pricing for the 2025 Ford Maverick is unknown. Based on previous models, we anticipate the price to range from $25,410 to $39,945. However, the price could be higher if the new model features significant improvements. Please note that it’s possible for price points to change as the year goes on.

Technology

If you don't get the optional Luxury package, the Maverick lacks tech. You do get an 8-inch touchscreen with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and it's quick and easy to connect, but that's it. The standard stereo produces little volume and could be more impressive.

When you opt for the Luxury package, you will get adaptive cruise control, enhanced voice controls, an upgraded 8-inch screen, a wireless charging pad, and lane-keeping assistance.

The current pickup truck is equipped with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and automatic high-beam assist. Additional safety features, including lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control, are expected to be in the 2025 model.
