It is nice that Ford chose to license the Toyota Hybrid system. If this came in 4x4, it would make some interesting inroads with AWD owners.
Ford didn't use Toyota hybrid system in the Maverick, but They did use the system for the Ford Fusion and Escape.
I commute 80 miles a day Monday through Friday in mine, on 45 to 60 mph roads, and I average 43.8 MPG. 😁
Awesome!
Do you have the Hybrid or the Ecoboost?
I also have an 80+ mile daily commute and am sold on both power trains
@@ZanethMediaThe hybrid. I'm now up to 45.7 mpg average because warmer weather boosts it.
Is it a 4 wheel drive?
Video was very well made, thanks for all the detail
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for posting myself Maverick hybrid always get 50 MPG
Awesome!
Nicely done thanks for posting
Glad you enjoyed it
@@offtheshelfrideshave there been any problems with the hybrid? You do a very good show. Is your hybrid also a 4 wheel drive?
Thank you! There have been a few recalls, but I believe all have been remedied. The Hybrid does not come in 4wd ....yet!
I like this guy
He's pretty cool
It's very common that the car's calculation is 1 or 2 above real. If you add a bed cover, you should get 2 more and even another 2 more in eco mode, achieving 42.
In springtime, I'm getting 50 in mine
That's awesome. Gotta love it when it warms up! Our Tucson hybrid went from 29mpg in the winter to 36 this last couple of months
Have they had any problems with the hybrid?
There have been some recalls, but I think most or all issues have been fixed.
Overall, excellent results for your mpg loop. I myself would be happy with anything over 30 routinely with normal day to day use. I had a 2010 Nissan Cube SV with the CVT and it averaged between 31.5 and 33.5 overall with mostly city and suburban driving with occasional freeway use and trips.
I found I really liked the performance of the CVT overall. Its smoothness and the no shifting between gears on the highway as you went up and down wills with a small engine car was a delightfully satisfying pleasure. And you could accelerate it without causing high engine rpm. Instead of stomping on the gas, you just squeezed the throttle and you got surprisingly responsive acceleration without the engine noise, and you got a more traditional engine rev as you accelerated and the CVT was adjusting its ratios at the same time.
I really liked that car until it got seriously modified in the rear end by an uninsured driver in a Maxima. (I had stopped to avoid hitting a pedestrian crossing the street against the light.)
I have never been in a Nissan Cube!
The loudest engine and cvt that I have driven, is the New Prius, looks cool, but it's loud. The PHEV version though, was a Joy to drive!
@@offtheshelfrides we also currently have a 2013 Prius persona hybrid. It actually has decent performance. Not fast, but not exactly slow either. It has a performance button on the console and it wakes the car up quite a bit at the expense of fuel economy. I have gotten as high as 62 mpg with it and as low as 17 mpg. Overall we get around 28 to 42 mpg with it. If the car sits for a period of time, and it’s cold out, fuel economy drops considerably while it’s in its warm up mode and it’s heating the inside of the car and recharging the 12v battery. But once it gets woke up and warmed up with the traction battery having been exercised a bit, the mileage returns to good levels. The Prius does not like not being driven for long periods of time. It really likes stop and go and more constant use.
The biggest downside side to the Prius is its very loud road noise. The car itself is great. But the loud road noise at highway speeds is really annoying.
You should also mention the exterior temperature. It makes a big difference in mpg on hybrids.
Thanks, will do moving forward
@@offtheshelfrides Or you could just look at the instrument panel 42°F @ 7:21 46°F @ 12:00 You shouldn't have to floor it getting on the interstate and the mileage will suffer doing that.
I wish you would have spoken to how the hybrid works and when, while doing this video. When does it run off of the battery and when does it run 100% off the engine, etc... How many miles can you get before he engine starts up to charge it, etc...
Outsider observation: It only has a 1.1 kWh battery, so even if you were able to stay under the 40 mph limit (anecdotal, depends on many factors, from a stop, you only get ~22 hp from the electric motor), it's such a small battery you're only looking at 2-3 miles (not accounting for regen braking).
This is a mild hybrid system. Like a Toyota camry. The battery is small. It will not go miles and it does not deplete the battery before charging. It can drive in electric mode up to 30 mph with gentle acceleration for approximately 1-2miles.
Electric when stopped or idling. Pretty much just a standard hybrid system. A plug-in hybrid is where you get big electric miles at full speed.
Why does the maverick get such great mpg compared to all other mid size trucks?
This one has the small hybrid engine in it, plus it is a small size, not a midsize, so it weights less also.
I am getting 47 mpg on regular gas in the city! The mpg keeps growing and is amazing! When this hybrid breaks down will them mpg worth it?
I don't feel you need to worry about the hybrid system breaking down.
What??? No Sunroof??? And no Motorized Side Mirrors???
Um no...lol I don't believe you can get any of that even on the Lariat trim
You can get electric mirrors on all trims with the copilot 360 option. I have it on my XL. @@offtheshelfrides
On the refill at the end of the trip the second poll after letting the pump settle did not yield as much as the first time you filled up It only gave you about half as much. I'll bet you it was close to 39 MPG
It is never going to be perfect. I try to repeat every exactly the same, but sometimes it can't be done. I also cut out dead space in the video, I could have clipped a few seconds out. But I understand what your saying. Thanks for the input!
Woodman's gas is always cheaper than Casey's, $3.75 right now. Oh you're way down south, Woodman's doesn't go that far south (yet). Should never "top off" the gas. It mucks up the evap system on ALL vehicles. Just let it click off. While in Effingham, check out Firefly Grill 4 stars.... You shouldn't have to floor it getting on the interstate and the mileage will suffer doing that.
Yes, Firefly is awesome and expensive. The top off is only for the testing. It is a procedure that we all do for our tests. (Out of Spec, TFL) it only damages it if it is done repeatedly for several years. Some people do Full throttle and it let's you hear the engine. I try to keep my testing as realistic as possible and not trying to hyper mile the car or try to get the best numbers. I do every mpg test the same, every vehicle gets treated the same.
Those seats are not leather in the lariat, they’re vinyl or pleather.
It's a synthetic leather or vegan leather as some like to call it. It's actually more durable than leather.
... is the odometer lying?
Do you mean the trip? Not necessarily, mpgs are a programmed calculation. Some may round up, some might round down. Like 25.5 miles could be 25 or 26 depending on their calculations
That is not Alto Blue. That is Atlas Blue. Alto Blue was a 2022 color only. 2:00 Never, ever top off a tank. You will cause all kinds of problems
Yes, Atlas blue. I don't remember saying alto blue but I may have misspoke. It is Only for a Test. We all do this process during testing. It is 1 pull after the gas settles, we are not trying to squeeze every drop into it, that is when it causes damage. Plus it takes years of doing that before it causes an issue.
No uphill, downhill, if you put like 250 pounds more , the mpg will be like 34
True, no big hills, but there are smaller hills, inclines and declines. I am sure that no one wants to watch my entire 2 hr drive just to see the terrain.
@offtheshelfrides you're right, my point 👉 is that = normally flat terrain gives us good mpg, but uphill and downhill is less mpg, I'm driving mine with 200pounds in L.A California.
Thanks for your video
Even if we did have large hills, running the test the way we do, go in one direction, turn around and driving back in the reverse order on the same roads should negate most of the terrain advantages and disadvantages
@offtheshelfrides got it. Have you noticed that Maverick in Downhills is doing very very strong acceleration? I know it has the system to hold the speed, but it scares me sometimes .
I'm not using cruise control yet.
I dísagree. It's a E CVT. Not chain driven. In addition the steady RPM is the optimal power band. The fake shift that auto makers are including is pointless and annoying to me. I don't need fake. I'm smarter than that.
I understand, I just don't like hearing like the engine is going to explode...lol
@@offtheshelfrides 😁(sweet spot)
Try the same round trip and stay in low the entire trip and you'll be at 44 mpg 😉
That's not how I do my tests. It's whatever setting the vehicle naturally starts in. Most people just get in and go. This is a base line for everyone. You know you can get better by the way you drive, some know they will get less because they are more aggressive.
Congrats to you on figuring out how to maximize you mpg! If others ask, I will definitely share it.
I understand. Also, Ford really missed it when they don't allow you to keep the mode selector in Eco once you restart your Mav repeatedly. I'm now trained to push mode selector 4 times, and then the L button everytime I drive. 😮
That's not "Alto Blue"
Yes. It is on the Window sticker.
If you don’t know, and no one has told you, you don’t ever top off gas tanks when the system stops pumping. I’ll leave it up to you to find out why.
It's only for a test and all of us do our tests this way. (Out of spec, TFL, etc...)We are just letting the gas settle, and then i final pull. To try and have as close to the exact same amount of gas in the tank at the beginning and the end of the test. I am not trying to squeeze every ounce of gas into it, nor do I do it on my everyday car. This is only a test.
You will eventually have a costly emission failure. I think that is what the comment was referring to.
That is why I was explaining that it is only a test and it is performed only for that test. It is done by that way by all of us. It only causes a problem if it is done regularly for many years, it doesn't happen after 1 time, 5 times, or even 50 times.
