It causes me pain - actual, physical pain - that I can't afford a new car right now. Cyber Orange is simply STUNNING on the Maverick. By the time I'm ready to buy a Mav, Ford will probably have axed this color for lack of sales. In today's car climate, anything that's not black/white/silver/grey...

26.6 is pretty excellent gas mileage for a vehicle of this size, weight, power and aero profile. Add in the AWD and special tires from the FX4 package and it's even more impressive. I unfortunately had an accident with my 2013 Focus and had to make a spur-of-the-moment car buy (a 2018 Sonata...

That's the first Cyber Orange example I've seen in the flesh! I'm sold, I'm getting Cyber Orange

I'm not the original guy you replied to but lets see, compared to the Maverick the Santa Cruz: - Will likely have a base price that's too much - Gets mediocre fuel economy with both engines - Has a smaller bed and a MUCH smaller payload capacity - Has a "don't get me dirty!" interior filled with...

When the day comes for me to buy my Maverick, it's either Cyber Orange or Velocity Blue. Both colors look absolutely excellent on this little thing!

Reminder to anyone who's turned off by "CVT" on the hybrid Maverick: The hybrid trans is what's called an "eCVT", and it doesn't work exactly like your traditional belt-and-pulley CVT we all know and despise. Instead of cones and belts, the eCVT uses two electric motors, connected to the engine...

#1 reason I want the Maverick: So I can just chuck the kayak in the bed instead of setting up the roof rack every time. This spot is probably the most easily accessible boat launch of my regular haunts, but some involve legitimate offroading to get there, which is sketchy in the Focus!

I think if you keep your build sub-30K you're getting a pretty sweet deal. Literally doing nothing but optioning a crew cab and 4WD will have the MSRP pushing $40K in most midsize trucks, before you've even added any options. Yes, they tow more. Yes, they're bigger. Yes, they're better offroad...

Yeah, that looks like ass. No thanks. Isn't the open bed part of the point of a pickup anyway?

I'm 22, for what it's worth. Never owned a pickup before, but the Maverick is likely gonna be my first new car purchase. I've wanted a pickup for a long time to haul my kayak, to hold all my wet, smelly fishing gear without stinking up the cabin, and manage some mild offroad trails, but I was...

Two things: 1. The Fiesta (as far as I know) never had a CVT. The problem trans was the DPS6, a Dual Clutch box. 2. The CVT in the Maverick is not a CVT as you know them to be, with belts and pulleys. It makes use of a single planetary gearset and two electric motors to create infinite ratios...

Torn between Velocity and Cyber Orange, it's gonna be a tough call!

FWD in the snow is perfectly fine as long as your tires are good enough. In KY, you will be more than covered by a good set of all-seasons. Remember that AWD will only help you get moving if your front wheels are slipping. AWD will not help you steer and it will not help you stop in bad traction...

Bravo to the Maverick team, really. Two incredible powertrains, tasteful styling, clever utility features inside and out, all at a price that undercuts most midsize sedans. The engineers and designers behind the Maverick project should be beyond proud. Sometimes when I see a new vehicle come...

Can't complain about that I guess. Coming from a Focus that averages 31 MPG is gonna sting, though

Any numbers for the 2.0 AWD fuel economy? Kinda dreading it's gonna be a flop like the Santa Cruz

XLT AWD 2.0, FX4 Package, Velocity blue, bedliner, nothing else! So excited to see a sub-30K MSRP. I'm graduating college next year so this will likely be my first actual adult purchase

So since there seems to be no mention of a 1.5L motor, is it safe to assume the 2.0 will be an option across all trims? Maybe it'll be cheaper than we thought to upgrade, too

Those are some pretty freakin' awful numbers, man. I'm worried the Mav is gonna be a bit of a pig on gas.

Awesome, thanks for the link! By all accounts, this type of "CVT" feels more like driving an electric car because the motors are actually what's powering the wheels rather than the engine. Still going to test drive both powertrains but that's really promising, and it's pretty damn hard to pass...
