Key Differences Between the 2024 and 2025 Maverick
The Ford Maverick continues to be a favorite among drivers wanting the power of a pickup truck with the maneuverability of a smaller car, and the 2025 model continues that legacy. It builds off the previous 2024 model while adding the standout features you've been waiting for. Keep reading for an in-depth breakdown of the 2025 Maverick's upgrades.
Exterior
Compared to the 2024 model's rugged appeal, the 2025 Ford Maverick boasts a more refined appearance, with updated headlamps with black accents and integrated LED running lights for higher trims. It also has a reimagined front grille, a sleeker profile, and bold new wheel options that contribute to its modern aesthetic. It also introduces new exterior color options: Eruption Green Metallic and Velocity Blue. Special editions may also feature exclusive color schemes highlighting their unique attributes.
Interior
Inside, the 2025 Maverick boasts upgraded materials and improved ergonomics. The higher trims offer a roomier feel, enhanced seat comfort, and premium finishes for a more premium feel. It also introduces new interior color schemes, such as Smoke Truffle for the LARIAT trim and shifts in accent colors for other trims.
Technology
The new Maverick replaces the standard 8-inch Ford SYNC touch-screen infotainment system with a 13.2-inch Ford SYNC 4 touchscreen and a new 8-inch digital instrument cluster. This system offers faster processing, a more intuitive interface, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You'll also find a six-speaker audio system and enhanced connectivity options for seamless device integration.
Performance
The 2025 Maverick has the same engine options as the previous model year: a 191 hp 2.5-liter Hybrid I-4 engine with a continuously variable transmission. There's also a 238 hp 2.0-liter EcoBoost I-4 engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission in the TREMOR and Lobo trims. The standout addition of the 2025 model is the new hybrid/all-wheel drive combo, which provides better traction and stability on the road. The 2025 model can tow up to 4,000 pounds with the 4K Tow Package, perfect for hauling whatever you need for work and play.
Safety
Both models feature Ford's Co-Pilot360 suite of safety features, which includes pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, a rearview camera, and more. However, the 2025 model has more standard safety features, such as standard pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, and blind-spot monitoring. It also offers advanced safety features, including enhanced adaptive cruise control with stop-start technology, a 360-degree camera, improved lane-keep assist, and predictive speed assist for trim levels Tremor and Lariat.
2025 Ford Maverick Trim Levels
The 2025 Ford Maverick features the same trim levels as the 2024 model but adds two brand-new trims. Below is a breakdown of the trim levels to help you decide which one to pick.
In With the New: Lobo and TREMOR
The Lobo trim targets urban adventurers with unique styling cues, lowered ride height, and exclusive Lobo Mode for enhanced driving dynamics. Positioned between the XLT and LARIAT trims, it merges practicality with a touch of luxury. The TREMOR, meanwhile, amps up the Maverick's off-road capabilities with its enhanced suspension, skid plates, and all-terrain tires that conquer rugged terrain.
But Keeping the Tried and True: The LARIAT, XL, and XLT Are Coming Back
The LARIAT continues to exemplify luxury within the Maverick lineup, incorporating premium leather seats, a larger touch screen, and advanced driver-assistance systems. For 2025, it includes even more upscale touches and enhanced connectivity. The XL trim remains the reliable, budget-friendly choice, retaining its straightforward, practical approach. For 2025, it still represents excellent value with standard safety systems and essential comforts. Finally, the XLT trim balances cost and features, offering alloy wheels, upgraded upholstery, and an expanded tech suite, perfect if you want more without splurging on luxury trims.
How Much Does the 2025 Maverick Cost?
The 2025 Maverick is pricier than the 2024 model, but the price tag reflects the new features and enhancements. Optional packages, such as the Tech Package or Off-Road Kit, add further customization at additional costs but deliver remarkable value for the money.
