Is the 2024 Ford Maverick different from the previous truck?
The 2024 Maverick comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, putting 250 horsepower at your command. This is a change from last year, when the hybrid powertrain was standard equipment and the turbocharged engine was optional. This year, that same hybrid powertrain is now optional.
Will the 2024 Ford Maverick hybrid have AWD?
Just like with previous model years, Maverick trucks with the hybrid powertrain are not available with all-wheel drive. However, the 2024 Maverick comes standard with the more powerful 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which is available with all-wheel drive. Thanks to this new setup, it’s easier than ever to create a trail-friendly Maverick!
The Maverick’s standard powertrain includes:
- Turbo 2.0L four-cylinder engine (250 hp, 277 lb-ft) and
- Eight-speed automatic transmission
- Front-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive
For a thriftier drive, check out the available hybrid powertrain
- 2.5L four-cylinder hybrid engine (191 horsepower, 155 lb-ft of torque)
- Continuously variable transmission
- Front-wheel drive
Which infotainment features are available for the 2024 Ford Maverick?

Like the newer system, SYNC 3 helps you stay connected with an easy-to-use central touchscreen and smartphone connectivity (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto).
The SYNC 3 infotainment system is available as part of the Lariat Luxury package, which also adds to the top-trim Maverick with stylish features like leather upholstery, a B&O sound system, heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and more.
