Hey, my good friends, Sam Heyart with Test Driven TV. Ford has finally revealed the new 2025 Maverick pickup truck, and while

it's sort of a mild refresh—a carryover, new color, styling, things like that—one of the most important new additions is

the all-wheel-drive hybrid powertrain option. So I know there's a lot of people out there that want to know more about

the system, how it works, and what it's going to be like to drive, because the new 2025 Ford Maverick

comes, again, standard with a hybrid drivetrain and now, for the first time, offers all-wheel drive. Many of its

prospective buyers have never driven or even considered purchasing one before. This will likely be the very first hybrid for a vast many people who have a

lot of questions about it. And in that way, there are those with basic hybrid 101 questions about how it works. For

that, I've got an in-depth video on our Maverick playlist that outlines in detail how the hybrid system works,

drives, and what it's like to live with. Here we're talking about the new hybrid all-wheel-drive model added for 2025. The

Ford Maverick hybrid powertrain is composed of both a 2.5L Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine and an eCVT transaxle.

The electrified transmission, called eCVT, is not to be confused with the traditional gasoline-powered CVT with

pulley and belt that few people actually like, and many of which have bad reliability records. An eCVT has no

pulley or belt, but has a simple planetary gear set and two electric motors. One motor, known as the e-motor,

provides your main electric driving power. The smaller motor, known as the motor-generator, is used to start the

engine, charge the high-voltage battery, and provide regenerative braking. And it also performs other power-balancing functions. It's actually a remarkably

simple system with about one-third the moving parts of a conventional automatic transmission; the Maverick's H45

transaxle is designed in-house and built at Ford's Van Dyke Electric Powertrain Center in Sterling Heights, Michigan.

In both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive models, it's a variation of the same transaxle currently used in the

long-proven Ford Escape and Lincoln Corsair hybrids. The e-motor has about 6 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque,

combined with a 2.5L gasoline engine which itself has 162 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque. Ford publishes a total

blended system horsepower maximum of 191 and a total torque of 155 lb-ft. Now let's talk about how we get to

all-wheel drive. Unlike the systems that Toyota and other brands use, which feature a separate electric motor at the

rear axle and provide all-wheel drive functionality without a driveshaft connecting the front and rear axles, the

Ford Maverick hybrid has a more conventional system. The Maverick hybrid all-wheel drive uses a conventional

power takeoff from the transaxle and sends it to the rear axle through a driveshaft. An electronically controlled

clutch allows it to act as a front-wheel-drive-only vehicle most of the time to save fuel. When traction becomes

challenged and slippage is detected, the computer can route torque to the rear axle when needed. Computer-controlled

traction and stability control systems automatically use the brakes at each corner to balance power to the wheels with the most traction and arrest

the spinning wheels that don't. Various drive modes can provide different algorithms to the all-wheel-drive system

for various off-road and slippery surface scenarios. They can bias the system to a more robust balance of traction, like the EcoBoost standard.

all-wheel drive system, which is identical to the one in the EcoBoost Maverick. There's no dedicated locking function that can

force all-wheel drive traction 100% of the time, like other brands offer. But because of the extra traction and

inherent robustness of the Maverick's now-proven hybrid drivetrain, Ford is offering customers the option of the

4,000-lb towing package on the Maverick Hybrid. The package brings additional cooling components with unique

powertrain and battery management software. There's also an upgraded trailer hitch receiver with both four-pin and seven-pin connectors, and a

trailer brake controller included. All right, my friends, there you have it: a brief overview of the

new hybrid all-wheel drive engine option in the Maverick. It's a big deal—people have been asking for it forever—but at

the same time, a lot of people have been speculating how it's going to work, what it's going to be, what the

components are. Now you know it's essentially the same all-wheel drive system that you'll find in the EcoBoost

Maverick; the only difference is it has the hybrid drivetrain at the front.

Otherwise, it works identically to the EcoBoost. And unfortunately, at least for now, they don't have a Maverick Hybrid

trim level with this system, which would be nice to have a more robust all-wheel drive system like that if you were really

going off-roading. But not yet. This is what we have now. We have a lot of

other videos on the 2023 Ford Maverick, and as mentioned earlier in this video, we have a complete

detailed hybrid 101 that really goes into how the Maverick hybrid drive system works, if you want to learn more.

about that and you're curious, a lot more detail than what we've done here. It's got pictures and diagrams and all kinds

of fun stuff like that. You can see all of that on our Maverick playlist right there, the largest Maverick playlist

anywhere on YouTube. We're very proud of that; it's been a lot of work putting that together. You can also subscribe to

T&D TV Garage right there if you really like the nuts and bolts stuff. Either way, stay tuned.

2025 포드 매버릭 하이브리드 AWD 출시 및 주요 특징 소개

2025년형 매버릭은 부분 변경 모델로, 새로운 색상과 스타일이 추가되었으며, 가장 중요한 변화는 AWD 하이브리드 파워트레인 옵션 추가이다.

많은 사람들이 새로운 시스템의 작동 방식과 주행감에 대해 궁금해하고 있다.

2025년형 매버릭은 기본적으로 하이브리드 드라이브트레인을 탑재하고, 최초로 AWD를 제공한다.

많은 사람들에게 첫 번째 하이브리드 차량이 될 가능성이 높으며, 하이브리드 시스템 작동 방식에 대한 질문이 많을 것으로 예상된다.

하이브리드 시스템 작동 방식에 대한 자세한 내용은 다른 영상을 참조할 수 있다.

하이브리드 파워트레인 구성 및 작동 원리 설명

포드 매버릭 하이브리드 파워트레인은 2.5L 아킨슨 사이클 가솔린 엔진과 eCVT 트랜스액슬로 구성된다.

eCVT는 기존 CVT와 달리 풀리와 벨트가 없고, 간단한 플래니터리 기어 세트와 두 개의 전기 모터로 구성된다.

e-모터는 주 전기 구동력을 제공하고, 모터-제너레이터는 엔진 시동, 고전압 배터리 충전, 회생 제동 등의 기능을 수행한다.

매버릭의 H45 트랜스액슬은 포드의 밴 다이크 전력 트레인 센터에서 자체 설계 및 제작되었다.

FWD와 AWD 모델 모두 포드 이스케이프와 링컨 코르사르 하이브리드에 사용되는 트랜스액슬의 변형을 사용한다.

토요타 등 다른 브랜드와 달리, 전륜과 후륜 축을 연결하는 드라이브 샤프트를 통해 후륜 축에 동력을 전달하는 기존 방식을 사용한다.

전자 제어 클러치를 통해 연료 절약을 위해 대부분의 시간 동안 FWD로 작동한다.

미끄러짐이 감지되면 컴퓨터가 필요에 따라 후륜 축에 토크를 전달한다.

컴퓨터 제어 트랙션 및 안정성 제어 시스템은 각 코너의 브레이크를 사용하여 최적의 접지력을 가진 바퀴에 동력을 분배한다.

다양한 주행 모드를 통해 AWD 시스템 알고리즘을 조정할 수 있다.

4,000파운드 견인 패키지 및 추가 기능

4,000파운드 견인 패키지 옵션 제공.

추가 냉각 부품, 고유 파워트레인 및 배터리 관리 소프트웨어 포함.

업그레이드된 트레일러 히치 리시버(4핀 및 7핀 커넥터 포함)와 트레일러 브레이크 컨트롤러 포함.

현재 매버릭 하이브리드 트림 레벨에는 이 시스템이 제공되지 않는다.

향후 더욱 강력한 AWD 시스템이 추가될 가능성이 있다.

2023년형 포드 매버릭에 대한 다른 영상과 하이브리드 시스템에 대한 자세한 설명 영상이 있다.
