- The 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine is now standard, and shoppers must pay $1,500 extra for the now-optional hybrid powertrain.
- We expect the three main Maverick trim models (XL, XLT, and Lariat) to return for the 2024 model year.
- These upcoming compact trucks will start at $24,995.
What’s new for the 2024 Ford Maverick?
For 2024, the Maverick is switching last year’s base powertrain, the 2.5-liter hybrid, with its optional powertrain, the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine is now standard, and the hybrid powertrain will cost you $1,500 extra.
There have been some rumors swirling about a Maverick ST street performance trim model or package. Even if the ST hasn’t been confirmed by Ford, these trim models have actually been caught in spy shots. Since Maverick ST trucks have been sighted with both the hybrid and the 2.0-liter engine, there’s a theory that the ST could be a performance package featuring suspension upgrades.
The 2024 Maverick is dropping the SecuriCode keyless lock feature and the manual sliding rear window.
Which powertrains will be available for the 2024 Ford Maverick?
For 2024, the biggest change to the Maverick is that the (formerly optional) turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine is now standard and the (formerly standard) hybrid powertrain is now optional. This switch is due to high demand and lingering supply chain issues. If you want a hybrid Maverick this year, it’s going to cost you an extra $1,500. With EPA ratings of up to 37 mpg combined, however, this up-charge will eventually pay for itself!
The 2024 Ford Maverick powertrain options include:
- Standard turbo 2.0L four-cylinder engine (250 hp, 277 lb-ft) and eight-speed automatic transmission
- Optional 2.5L four-cylinder hybrid engine (191 horsepower, 155 lb-ft of torque) and continuously variable transmission
- Front-wheel drive
- Optional all-wheel drive (2.0L engine only)
Which trim models will be available from the 2024 Ford Maverick?
In addition to a possible new Maverick ST trim model, we expect to see the same trim levels as last year: the base XL, middling XLT, and top-trim Lariat. The XL gives you a great price on a new Maverick. And it’s pretty nicely equipped, too, with power accessories, an 8-inch central touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. The mid-level XLT costs a little extra, but it adds upgraded cloth upholstery and a power-locking tailgate, among other convenience upgrades. Then there’s the high-end Lariat, which gives you a little more style and comfort, with upgrades that include dual-zone automatic climate control and faux-leather upholstery.
