Key things to evaluate:

• Fuel efficiency: The base FWD hybrid returns an impressive EPA-estimated 38 mpg combined (42 mpg city, 35 mpg highway), and the new-for-2025 AWD hybrid is just behind it at 37 mpg combined (40 mpg city, 34 mpg highway).
• Infotainment: 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. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now standard as well, along with a new eight-inch digital instrument cluster.
• Safety package: 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.

Which Ford Maverick trim should I buy?

The 2025 Ford Maverick offers these trims:

• XLT: This trim adds more equipment and is the step up for buyers who want a better-balanced mix of value and features. It also brings lane-keep assist and lane-departure warning in the safety content, making it the best-value trim for many shoppers.
• Lariat: This trim adds a more upscale feel with 19-inch alloys and a gloss-black grille, plus Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist. It suits you if you want more convenience and towing tech.
• Tremor: This off-road model adds dedicated suspension tuning, all-terrain tires on 17-inch wheels, skid plates, and a twin-clutch rear drive unit for its AWD system. It suits you if you want the Maverick’s most trail-ready setup.
• Lobo: This street-focused trim adds a cleaner front fascia, painted rear bumper, side skirts, 19-inch wheels, lowered suspension, and a unique seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It suits you if you want the most distinctive performance-oriented Maverick.

Should I buy a used Ford Maverick now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −3.1% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −4.43%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 31% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 32.2%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $29,000. The Ford Maverick offers a compact, easy-to-live-with truck character that makes it especially appealing if you want utility without a larger footprint.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The standard hybrid powertrain is now available with front-wheel drive (FWD) or AWD, while the non-hybrid powertrain is AWD-only, the reverse of previous model years. The 2025 Ford Maverick hybrid uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine running on the Atkinson cycle, working with a single electric motor and continuously variable transmission (CVT).
• 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. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now standard as well, along with a new eight-inch digital instrument cluster.
• 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 2024 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.
