2025 Ford Maverick Performance
The 2025 Ford Maverick offers two engine options: a 238-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder with an eight-speed automatic and a 191-hp hybrid with a CVT. All-wheel drive is optional for both. The Lobo trim enhances performance with a turbo engine, all-wheel drive, and a seven-speed automatic, making it ideal for enthusiasts seeking dynamic handling.
0-60-MPH Times
On the road, the Maverick feels downright peppy with the optional turbo four, which zipped to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds in our testing. The hybrid powertrain is less perky and needed 7.7 seconds to reach 60 mph at our test track, but nonetheless gets the job done.
2025 Ford Maverick Towing Capacity and Payload
Both the hybrid and nonhybrid Maverick models offer 1500 pounds of payload capacity and 2000 pounds of towing capacity. With the optional Tow package, the Maverick can tow up to 4000 pounds. Looking to tow even more with a small pickup? The Hyundai Santa Cruz is rated to tow up to 5000 pounds.
2025 Ford Maverick Fuel Economy
The EPA estimates the hybrid Maverick gets up to 42 mpg city and 33 mpg highway. The nonhybrid is rated up to 23 mpg city and 30 mpg highway. In our testing, the nonhybrid matched its 29 mpg EPA rating but the hybrid only achieved 30 mpg. The off-road Tremor model managed 26 mpg. Check the EPA website for more details on Maverick fuel economy.
2025 Ford Maverick Interior
All Mavericks have a crew cab with four doors and an adequate back seat. The cabin offers many storage areas. Base models provide basics like audio controls and lumbar support. XLT and Lariat trims add extras such as dual-zone climate control and power seats. Ford says the 4.5-foot bed can carry up to 18 sheets of plywood flat. It features a 12-volt outlet with 110-volt optional.
2025 Ford Maverick Infotainment
A 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system is standard on all Maverick trims. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also standard features, and even the base model comes with an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot. Options include SiriusXM satellite radio, an upgraded B&O Play stereo system, and wireless smartphone charging capability.
2025 Ford Maverick Safety Features
The Maverick comes equipped with a suite of driver-assistance features, including standard automated emergency braking and lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist. While these features provide a solid safety foundation, those seeking a more advanced driving experience, such as adaptive cruise control, will need to upgrade to the Lariat or Tremor trim level. For a comprehensive evaluation of the Maverick's safety performance, it's recommended to review the crash test results published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)
