How many versions of the Ford Maverick are there?
There are four main Maverick versions currently offered: XL, XLT, Lariat, and Tremor. The lineup also relies on two powertrain options—a hybrid and a turbocharged EcoBoost—that apply across most versions.
Versions and trims
Below is a concise breakdown of the four versions, what distinguishes them, and who they’re aimed at.
- XL — The entry-level model with essential features; available with both Hybrid and EcoBoost powertrains. Drive configuration varies by engine and option package.
- XLT — A step up from XL with more convenience and tech features; available with both powertrains, with AWD typically available on EcoBoost.
- Lariat — The top-trim model focused on comfort and technology; commonly paired with EcoBoost, with AWD options depending on year and package.
- Tremor — The off-road-oriented version built on the EcoBoost platform, equipped for light-to-moderate off-roading with enhanced suspension and standard or available AWD.
Note: Availability of engine and drivetrain options can vary by model year and market, so check with a dealer for current configurations.
Powertrain options
The Maverick’s engine choices determine performance more than the trim you pick. Here are the two main powertrain paths Ford offers for the Maverick:
- Hybrid — A 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle hybrid paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT). It is typically offered with front-wheel drive (FWD) and focuses on efficiency.
- EcoBoost — A 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 paired with an 8-speed automatic. This powertrain is offered with either two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, and is the basis for the Tremor variant.
As with the trims, available drivetrains can vary by model year and market, so confirm current options at the dealer or Ford’s official configuration tools.
Summary
The Ford Maverick lineup currently presents four primary versions—XL, XLT, Lariat, and Tremor—each capable of pairing with one of two main engines: a hybrid for efficiency and a turbo EcoBoost for performance. The Tremor is the standout off-road variant within the EcoBoost family, while XL and XLT offer balanced value and comfort.
