After only a handful of years, Ford is giving its Maverick a healthy dose of updates. For 2025, Ford will add an all-wheel-drive system to its 2.5-liter Hybrid models, update the Maverick’s style, and shake up the interior. Ford is also splitting off the Maverick Tremor package to become its new variant.
Underhood, the standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder hybrid powertrain works with a CVT and electric motors to send 191 hp to the front wheels—but now the back wheels can also be driven by the optional AWD system for the hybrid models. Of course, the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder will carry over and send 238 hp and 277 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Setting the ’25 Maverick apart from the previous model years is an updated front fascia with new headlamps, bumper cover, and grille work. Each Maverick variant is set apart by distinctive grilles. Ford example, the Maverick Tremor adds a splash of orange and looks more like the rest of the Tremor-badged Ford trucks.
The Maverick’s interior was similarly updated. Affixed to the dash is now a standard, landscape-oriented 13.2-inch touchscreen display that’s a leap from the previously standard 8-inch screen. This system handles wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto if you want to leave your phone cable at home. Ford has also changed up its accent colors.
Ford is also stuffing some practical tech under the Maverick’s skin, such as Pro Trailer Assist that is now optional on Mavericks equipped with the towing package. This system is meant to take some of the stress out of backing up to your trailer, and it uses your Maverick’s steering, braking, and accelerating systems to make that magic happen.
Also joining the Maverick is the Ford Co-Pilot260 system as standard equipment. That means every Maverick leaves the factory with a pre-collision assist system with automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping aid, and auto LED headlamps. Adaptive cruise control comes on Lariat and Tremor models.
Now, upgrades to the Maverick are great—but there is a hitch, no pun intended. The 2025 Ford Maverick with this new content will start at $27,890, which is a big (30%) step up from its $21,490 base price from a few years ago.
Ford says these ’25 Mavericks will ship before the end of the year—and are available to order on August 1, 2024.
