Young Buyers? Ford Maverick Hybrid Is Getting Great Reviews

January 10, 2022,

Joyous it is when you can use your vehicle for many fun or practical situations.

Driving is practical.

Tailgating is fun.

The 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid is receiving rave reviews. It is both practical and fun.

You might want to familiarize yourself with it.

The Ford Maverick is a compact pickup truck produced by Ford.

It was unveiled on June 8, 2021 as the smallest truck marketed by the company.

The Maverick is based on a front-wheel drive-based unibody platform shared with the Ford Escape and Bronco Sport, and offered with a hybrid powertrain as standard and a conventional turbo engine as an option.

It went on sale in late 2021 for the 2022 model year.

The Maverick is available in three trim levels: XL, XLT, and Lariat, with a limited-production First Edition model also being available at launch based on the Lariat trim.

Standard equipment on all models include touchscreen infotainment system with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration and an integrated FordPass 4G LTE modem, power windows and door locks, air conditioning, and a multifunction steering wheel.

See what we mean. It is practical and fun.

Smart too.

According to Ford, it starts at $19,995. What a bargain. We expected the price to be much higher.

Here is what Ford had to say, “Flexible, fun and affordable — the Maverick pickup is breaking all the stereotypes. With endless customization opportunities, a roomy interior and the technology you need, the Maverick truck is made for people who never knew they needed a truck.”

Especially young people.

It gets even better. Need confirmation on how incredible the Ford Maverick Hybrid is?

Here is what the industry respected team at The Car Connection had to say.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The Car Connection (www.thecarconnection.com), the easiest place to research and shop for cars online, today named the Ford Maverick Hybrid as its Best Car To Buy 2022.

Related auto enthusiast brands Motor Authority (www.motorauthority.com) and Green Car Reports (www.greencarreports.com) also named the winners of their Best Car To Buy awards. The Rivian R1T took the title of Motor Authority’s Best Car To Buy 2022, while the Lucid Air was named Green Car Reports’ Best Car To Buy 2022.

Ford Maverick Hybrid: A first pickup-truck winner

The Car Connection’s expert editors chose the Ford Maverick from a competitive field of nominees. Contenders were new or fully redesigned models that achieved top scores in The Car Connection’s unique “TCC Rating” system, while adhering to a $50,000 base-price limit.

The 10-point TCC Rating rolls up scores given to each vehicle across six categories: safety, comfort and utility, fuel economy, performance, technology, and styling.

“Our editors voted unanimously and unequivocally for the Maverick Hybrid, cementing it as the first pickup truck to win the award,” said Marty Padgett, Editorial Director of The Car Connection, Motor Authority, and Green Car Reports. “It satisfies drivers who need and want a smaller truck that still offers utility along with towing capability, creative packaging, great fuel economy, and best of all, a low price.”

Rivian R1T: An electric pickup truck for electric-vehicle enthusiasts

Performance and luxury brand Motor Authority named the Rivian R1T as its Best Performance/Luxury Car To Buy 2022. Editors selected the winner from new or redesigned luxury/performance vehicles made available for testing. The winner was judged to have the strongest appeal to enthusiasts with capability, acceleration, handling, styling, and features—as well as value—with no price limit.

“The Rivian R1T captures the imagination of enthusiasts with its electric drivetrain and its adventure-ready utility,” Padgett said. “It’s astoundingly quick and off-road ready—it’s the first of a wave of vehicles that will take trucks into a new era.”

Lucid Air: The new electric-car range champion’s a beauty, too

Green Car Reports, a research and news destination for electric cars, fuel-efficient cars, and hybrid cars, named the Lucid Air as its Best Green Car To Buy 2022. Editors chose the most significant new green car made widely available to shoppers during the 2022 model year, taking into account new technologies, their practicality, and their impact on the environment.

“The Lucid Air sets many new benchmarks for electric cars in terms of driving range, efficiency, charging, and powertrain engineering,” Padgett said. “But it’s also a stunning sedan that would lure new drivers into the electric-car arena on looks alone.”
