2025 Ford Maverick Delivers Better Fuel Economy and New Powertrain Options

The 2025 Ford Maverick is here with exciting updates that make this compact pickup more efficient and capable than ever before. Known for its practicality and affordability, the Maverick gets a range of powertrain refinements that not only improve fuel efficiency but also expand the lineup with new trims and drivetrain configurations. Whether you’re after fuel savings or a little more off-road fun, the 2025 Maverick has you covered.

Drivers sticking with the turbocharged 2.0L EcoBoost engine and all-wheel drive will be pleased to know that fuel economy remains strong, with the 2025 model delivering 22 mpg city, 30 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined—an improvement on highway mileage over the 2024 version. The off-road-ready Tremor model sees even more impressive gains, improving from a 21 mpg combined rating in 2024 to 23 mpg in 2025. Meanwhile, the all-new Lobo trim, designed for sportier performance, maintains a solid 24 mpg combined rating with the 2.0L EcoBoost AWD setup.

If maximum efficiency is what you’re after, the 2.5L hybrid Maverick remains the top choice. The front-wheel-drive hybrid now returns an impressive 38 mpg combined—up from 37 mpg in 2024. Even more exciting, Ford is now offering the hybrid setup with all-wheel drive for the first time, giving you more traction without sacrificing efficiency. The AWD hybrid clocks in at 37 mpg combined, making it one of the most efficient AWD pickups on the market today.

Beyond improved fuel economy, the 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid also benefits from a tougher new transmission (the HF55), replacing the older HF45. This change allows the hybrid to match the towing capacity of its gas-powered sibling, handling up to 4,000 pounds with confidence. With expanded powertrain options, upgraded performance, and improved efficiency, the 2025 Maverick continues to prove why it’s one of the smartest small trucks available.
