New 2026 Ford Maverick

The 2026 Ford Maverick is largely a carryover model following its refresh last year, with the primary update being that the EcoBoost engine option can now be paired with front-wheel drive. The Maverick has a hybrid powertrain available as standard on the XL, XLT (FWD and AWD) and Lariat trim, it uses a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), producing 162 horsepower. When combined with the electric motor, the system produces an additional 191 horsepower and 155 lb.-ft. of torque. The Lobo and Tremor trim are powered by a 2L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine producing 250 horsepower and 280 lb.-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. For those seeking more power, a 2.0L EcoBoost turbocharged 4-cylinder engine is also available. The basic XL trim comes with automatic LED headlights and daytime running lights, auto high beams, 17-inch steel wheels, a manual locking tailgate, power door locks, 3 USB ports, a 13.2-inch touchscreen, Ford's SYNC 4 infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity, wireless phone connectivity, a 6-speaker system, rearview camera, front pedestrian detection alert, forward collision mitigation w/left turn assist, and cruise control. A key benefit of the 2026 Maverick is its standard SuperCrew cab, which can seat up to five people. The back seats offer enough headroom and adequate legroom for most adult passengers.
