2022 FORD MAVERICK – HYBRID VS ECOBOOST COMPARISON

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive comparison between the 2022 Ford Maverick's Hybrid and 2.0L EcoBoost powertrains, both in XLT trim. The reviewers highlight that the Hybrid is the base model, offering a lower purchase price and excellent fuel economy, particularly in city driving (achieving over 35 MPG in mixed conditions). The EcoBoost, while less fuel-efficient (around 24 MPG mixed), offers more power (250 hp vs. 191 hp) and torque (277 lb-ft vs. 173 lb-ft), making it feel quicker and more responsive, especially when pushed. The EcoBoost is also the only option for the FX4 off-road package and the 4K tow package, making it the choice for those needing true truck capabilities. For daily driving without towing or significant off-roading, the Hybrid is recommended for its smoothness and efficiency. However, availability is a major issue, with 2022 Hybrid orders closed, pushing buyers towards the EcoBoost. The reviewers found both powertrains offer great value for their price point.
