Really depends on how you drive. Ridgeline is rated for 24 on the highway and I'm getting 28 (my drive to work is all highway). I was getting 32 highway on the maverick. I'm using about an extra 5 or so gallons of gas a month. At $3-4 a gallon, the extra $15-$30 bucks a month was worth it for the comfort and more pleasurable driving experience. It was also the right deal at the right time for me. Went from a 22 XLT to a 21 RTL-E with 10,000 more miles for not much more money. Hope you don't see my list as bashing the Maverick. I think it will push other car makers to go back to producing compact trucks (and that's a good thing).
The hybrid platform has been around for donkey years, it's basically the same as the Escape. I think the Maverick has a new type of electric motor.
The 2.5L atkinson hybrid platform was introduced by Ford a year before the 2L ecoboost was. These posts about picking the ecoboost because of its proven track-record (compared to the hybrid) are "interesting".
Well? Feel better? Are you going to order one? Mine should be coming up here soon and I'm looking forward to it. Can't wait. No remorse.
I love my '22 Maverick! I was lucky, someone ordered it and backed out and as a result, I got it. I'm coming up on 12K miles and have enjoyed each mile. Mine is an XLT Hybrid.
Just returned from a road trip with my 22 Hybrid, have a little over 7,000 miles on it. Consistently beat EPA mileage figures, picked the XL trim with few options. So no buyers remorse from me complaints, two. The infotainment Android Auto doesn't interface with my phone well, and it doesn't appear to be my phone, or cable. Just a buggy system. The stock tires, like most anymore are not something to write home about. Life's a gamble live it the way you want.
