• Tech: The Sync 3 infotainment system has been replaced with the current Sync 4 system, and a standard 13.2-inch touchscreen replaces the previous eight-inch touchscreen.
• Safety: Forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and automatic high beams are standard on the base XL, but you have to upgrade to the Maverick XLT to get lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and to the Lariat or Tremor to get adaptive cruise control.
• Starting price: For 2025, Maverick pricing starts at $29,840 (including a mandatory $1,695 destination charge) for a basic XL hybrid with FWD, steel wheels, and manually-adjusted mirrors.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
