Ford to Offer AWD and Hybrid in the Maverick for the First Time in 2025
The Ford Maverick has been a hit since its introduction a few years back, but there’s one thing that potential buyers have been asking for since the beginning: All-wheel drive with the fuel-efficient hybrid variant. Ford is answering those calls with the 2025 Maverick, which will combine the hybrid and AWD systems in the truck for the first time.
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost-equipped Maverick has been sold with AWD since the get-go, but the 2.5-liter hybrid trucks were front-drive only. The hybrid powertrain delivers 191 horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque, and can tow up to 4,000 pounds with the 4K Towing Package equipped.
Ford also updated the truck’s tech, adding its Sync 4 infotainment on a new 13.2-inch touchscreen, up from the eight-inch display it had previously. It brings wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and offers over-the-air updates with a built-in 5G modem. There’s also an available surround-view camera for the first time and Ford’s Pro Trailer Hitch Assist system.
The 2025 Maverick has a refreshed exterior appearance, with a new grille, front bumper, and LED headlights. Lariat models get a new 19-inch wheel design. Inside, Ford offers more color options, and the available Black Package includes black wheels, badges, a black roof, a grille, and more.
Pricing for the 2025 model year starts at $27,890, which includes a $1,595 destination charge. Ford plans to open the order books on August 1, and deliveries will begin late this year.

- Chiefmonkey No surprise here! lol
- SCE to AUX Expect 24 miles EPA; I don't see the point.
- Npaladin2000 It looks like a good design but I wonder if they're worried about poaching Maverick Hybrid and F150 Powerboost sales. The Ranger hasn't been primarily a North American vehicle in a long time now. It was something that sold overseas in vast amounts that they also sell here (especially if you count the Everest). I'd like to see the option here but I don't know if it'll show up.
- Nicholas Ford and GM never show proper long term commitment to any new market, and the lack of commitment leads to disastrous wastes of resources and poor market reception.
- Jkross22 The best day to get mail is garbage day. Collect mail then walk by recycling bin and throw nearly all mail in trash. I wonder if they'll use these Scooby vans in cold weather cities where charging will be a crap shoot during cold snaps and battery life will be a joke for the same reason. Should've made a deal for TransitConnect vans. Those things were great. I guess Ford didn't bribe the right people.
