How many liters per 100km is a Ford Maverick hybrid?
About 6.3 liters per 100 kilometers on combined driving, based on EPA estimates of roughly 37 miles per gallon combined (42 mpg city, 33 mpg highway).
This article explains how those EPA figures translate to the metric system, what the numbers mean for daily use, and which factors can push actual fuel consumption above or below the official rating for Ford's compact pickup hybrid.
EPA fuel economy numbers
Official EPA estimates for the Maverick Hybrid (front-wheel drive, 2.5-liter hybrid) are:
- City: 42 mpg
- Highway: 33 mpg
- Combined: 37 mpg
These figures apply to 2022–2024 Maverick Hybrid models in standard configuration. Real-world fuel economy can vary with load, terrain, weather and driving style.
From mpg to liters per 100 kilometers
To convert miles per gallon to liters per 100 kilometers, use the standard conversion: 1 mpg (US) equals about 235.214 L/100 km. For a combined rating of 37 mpg, the calculation is roughly 235.214 / 37 ≈ 6.36 L/100 km. In practice, most drivers can expect about 6.3 to 6.5 L/100 km under typical mixed driving.
Real-world factors that affect fuel economy
EPA numbers are a baseline. Real-world results depend on several factors that shape how far you travel per liter of fuel.
- Driving style and traffic: Frequent stopping, fast accelerations, and aggressive driving lower efficiency, while steady cruising can improve it.
- City vs. highway mix: City-heavy driving often yields mpg near or above the EPA city rating due to regenerative braking, but highway performance varies with speed and aero factors.
- Load and payload: Carrying cargo or towing increases energy use, reducing mpg.
- Weather and climate: Cold temperatures, use of climate control, and tire pressure affect fuel consumption.
- Maintenance and tires: Properly inflated tires and good mechanical condition help maintain efficiency.
Overall, expect real-world mpg to hover around the EPA combined figure, with variations depending on how you drive and the conditions you encounter.
Model year notes and drivetrain details
The Maverick Hybrid uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor and battery, configured with an eCVT. It is offered in front-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is not available on the Hybrid model. If you need AWD for a Maverick, you’d typically choose a gasoline EcoBoost variant, which can offer AWD but at a lower overall fuel economy.
Powertrain and drivetrain
In the Maverick lineup, the Hybrid model strives for efficiency with its hybrid powertrain, while AWD capability is reserved for non-hybrid EcoBoost configurations. This means drivers prioritizing fuel economy will generally opt for the FWD Hybrid, whereas those needing all-wheel drive for weather or utility may choose a gasoline version with a different drivetrain setup.
Summary
The Ford Maverick Hybrid delivers about 6.3 L/100 km in combined driving according to EPA ratings (37 mpg combined: 42 mpg city, 33 mpg highway). Real-world results can vary based on driving style, payload, weather, and road conditions. For those prioritizing fuel efficiency in a compact pickup, the Maverick Hybrid offers a strong efficiency advantage over gasoline variants, particularly in urban and stop-and-go use.
