The Maverick will return for model year 2025 with a subtle yet impactful facelift. On the exterior, it will show off a new front bumper, a redesigned grille, darkened headlight covers, and updated wheels. Plus, Ford is adding the new Black Package to the model’s options; it will give the Maverick a distinctive grille, a black roof, black badging, and gloss-black 19-inch wheels. The cabin will have new trim colors and materials available. For example, the XLT will pair the Aspen Gray and Navy Pier interior themes with striking Grabber Blue accents, while the Lariat will offer a Smoke Truffle theme with bronze details.
The infotainment system in the ’25 Maverick has also received an upgrade. Look for a class-leading 13.2-inch touchscreen as the centerpiece, replacing the outgoing model’s 8-inch unit. This new system will support wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, enhanced voice recognition, and onboard navigation, for seamless and convenient connectivity.
One of the most significant updates for the 2025 Maverick is the introduction of an all-wheel drivetrain for the hybrid powertrain. The gas-electric Maverick has been a popular choice for its commendable fuel efficiency and lower environmental impact, but it has previously been limited to front-wheel drive. The addition of AWD will make the hybrid version of the Maverick even more versatile, as it’ll provide improved traction and stability across various driving conditions. Plus, buyers who opt for the hybrid with AWD can now select the 4K Tow Package to further expand its utility.
The 2025 Maverick will be equipped with a suite of enhanced driver-assistance features to make driving safer and more intuitive. For the first time, the Maverick will have an available surround-view monitor that offers a split-view display showing what’s directly in front of or behind the vehicle. The available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist feature will simplify the process of hooking up a trailer by using rear cameras and corner radars to align the hitch with the trailer coupler, requiring minimal driver input. Once they’re connected, Pro Trailer Backup Assist makes maneuvering the trailer effortless, as all you need to do is turn a knob in the direction you want the trailer to go while reversing. Both Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist will be standard with the Lariat and Tremor trim levels.
The Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of advanced safety features will be standard across all ’25 Maverick trims, too. It includes pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, a rearview camera, and automatic high beams. The Lariat and Tremor will receive additional driving aids, such as adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and predictive speed assist for an even safer driving experience.
For those seeking the ultimate in Maverick performance, the debuting Lobo trim will certainly not disappoint you. This performance-oriented variant has been designed for all-out thrills, with a lowered suspension, a potent 238-horsepower turbocharged engine, a seven-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, and standard AWD. Upgraded brakes and performance-tuned steering ensure thrilling driving dynamics, while the Lobo’s unique grille and aggressive wheels solidify its position as the Maverick’s spunkiest trim level.
