Ford’s small pickup came out in the last few years and changed the perception of a small truck and created a new category. It currently has only one rival, Hyundai Santa Cruz, however, this may change very soon because a lot of other companies announced they would be joining the segment shortly. This is why although the overall look is new, however, the 2024 Ford Maverick is about to provide some exciting new features. From what we’ve learned from the beginning, it appears as the hybrid model will soon get an all-wheel drive. In addition, some reports suggest a plug-in hybrid.
In any event, the updates will help Maverick maintain his status as the class’s leader. In addition, we’re not convinced that the model for the next year will be a significant change. We anticipate a familiar design, and the same features and specifications. We like this model for many reasons, including its attractive price, easy ride, powerful motor, and adequate amount of equipment that is available in standard and standard configurations.
2024 Ford Maverick Review
Powertrain
The biggest changes to come for the coming year are going to be beneath the hood. Based on the information we’ve gathered so far it appears that the Hybrid version will be able to get the AWD version, given that the version currently in use comes with FWD only. We don’t anticipate any major specifications, so the power output of the system should stay unchanged, which is 191 horsepower. We also don’t anticipate seeing a dramatic drop in the mpg ratings. It should be relatively identical to that of the FWD version, which gets about 33 mpg when in the city, and 41 mpg when driving.
On the contrary, we’re hearing reports of a new plug-in hybrid model. This model has a similar configuration, but with a larger battery, and more powerful electric motors. The power output of the system is estimated as 221 horsepower however, the 14.4-kWh battery pack is expected to provide about 35 miles of electric range. There is also the turbo-four version that comes with an incredibly famous 2.0-liter engine that produces 250 horsepower. It also comes with an old-fashioned automatic gearbox, instead of a CVT.
New Design
Apart from the powertrain upgrades We don’t think 2024’s Ford Maverick could bring more significant changes. Overall, the design is likely to stay unchanged, but we believe that it’s too early to make an update mid-cycle. The styling will be the same as the design that has many similarities and those of Bronco Sport, at least in the front. Of course, the following model of the year will be offered in the same layout, with the familiar crew cab as the only option available.
Similar is the case with mechanics. We don’t anticipate any changes therefore the overall experience of driving will remain the same. The good thing to know is that the basic model that comes with a hybrid engine has a basic semi-independent rear suspension. models that have turbo-four come with independent rear suspensions.
Again, no major changes are anticipated. Therefore, the 2024 Ford Maverick is about to have a familiar dashboard design. It isn’t particularly appealing, however, it doesn’t feel bad also. The build quality is decent even though the majority of the interior surfaces are covered in hard plastics. The ergonomics are decent and the good quantity of technological features make the look of this pickup more luxurious than it is.
If you’re looking for space, there’s no reason to complain. The front seats are large and comfortable, and the second row is also able to accommodate adults comfortably. Sound insulation in the cabin is excellent and the shape allows for excellent outward visibility across all directions. Additionally, it has an adequate 4.5-foot cargo bed that is 0.5 feet larger than Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz.
Features
Naturally, this element could bring a few changes. Certain options currently available may be included in the standard equipment, but there is no doubt that the majority of features are going to stay the same. So, expect to see basic models that come with extras such as an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an audio system with six speakers, Bluetooth, two USB ports as well as a Wi-Fi hot spot, and An analog gauge panel remote keyless entry and cruise control, air conditioning and power windows.
In addition to upgrades, you can expect to include items such as navigation, wireless charging of devices as well as an eight-speaker stereo satellite radio, 2 additional USB ports as well as two 120-volt household-style power outlets, dual-zone automated climate control with proximity keyless entry remote start button, push-button start and a moonroof. Also, there is ambient lighting, as well as the rear-facing window slides out.
2024 Ford Maverick Release Date and Price
We anticipate that the 2024’s Ford Maverick will hit the market in the final third of this year. The current model costs with a bit less than 24.000 dollars, so we don’t think we’ll see a much larger rise for the following year.
