The 2025 Ford Maverick delivers impressive pickup capability at a budget-friendly price. Despite its compact size, it packs a punch with a choice of two powerful engine options. Below, Ford Authority explains everything you need to know about the 2025 Maverick engines.
The 2025 Ford Maverick features the standard 2.5L hybrid engine on the XL, XLT, and Lariat trims, paired exclusively with the PowerSplit eCVT gearbox. This hybrid setup delivers a combined 191 horsepower at 5,600 RPM and 155 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 RPM. Front-wheel-drive (FWD) is standard in conjunction with this engine, and for the first time in Maverick history, all-wheel-drive (AWD) is on the menu as an option for hybrid-powered models.
For buyers who’d rather not fuss with a hybrid powertrain, the 2025 Ford Maverick can be ordered with the turbocharged 2.0L EcoBoost I4 engine. This powerhouse is optional on the XL, XLT, and Lariat; meanwhile, it’s the only engine offered on the all-new Lobo trim, as well as the Tremor. This engine is tuned to deliver 238 horsepower at 5,500 RPM and 275 pound-feet of torque at 3,000 RPM, adding pep to the 2025 Maverick line. This engine is paired with the eight-speed automatic transmission for all trims except for the Lobo, which gets the seven-speed automatic lifted right from the now-discontinued Ford Edge ST.
Of course, exterior aesthetics are just as important as what’s under the hood of the 2025 Ford Maverick. Ford Authority has already presented detailed guides to every package offered on the Maverick, along with its selection of interior colorways and exterior paints.
The 2025 Ford Maverick starts at $26,295, excluding the $1,595 for destination and delivery, making it significantly more expensive than the outgoing model.
2025 Ford Maverick production at the Hermosillo Assembly plant in Mexico is kicked off on November 11th, 2024. The pickup began landing at U.S. dealers just one month later, putting it one step closer to the hands of its buyers in North America. We know the midcycle refresh has ruffled some feathers, and Ford Authority checked in with our readers via a recent poll to find out where you stand, revealing that most of you agree that it would have been better off left alone.

There’s really no reason to go with the Ecoboost. Especially now with AWD and 4k. Well, besides the trims that you can’t get hybrid for. The warranty is 8 year/80k for the hybrid components too, and you’ll save big on gas. I still relentlessly tease my wife about my truck being better on gas than her little hatchback 🤣
