Ford opens its doors across Brazil for test drives of the innovative Maverick Hybrid this Saturday.
Ford is inviting customers nationwide to experience the Maverick Hybrid firsthand, the first hybrid pickup truck in the Brazilian market. The special event will take place at all dealerships across the country this Saturday, September 19, offering a unique opportunity to explore the standout features of this revolutionary vehicle.
The Maverick Hybrid distinguishes itself by combining the rugged style and cutting-edge technology of Ford trucks with the handling and comfort of an SUV, all powered by a high-efficiency hybrid system. With a range exceeding 800 km and a fuel economy of 15.4 km/l in the city, the model promises to redefine the concept of sustainable pickups.
A New Experience in Hybrid Pickups
The Maverick Hybrid enters the market with a host of new features that place it at the forefront of its segment. Highlights include new 19-inch wheels, a power sunroof, a tonneau cover, an 8-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 13.2-inch multimedia center with wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The premium Bang & Olufsen sound system and 360° camera enhance both entertainment and safety levels.
Safety enhancements are notable, including adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring. The pickup also offers a convenient 56-liter storage compartment under the rear seat, increasing versatility and cargo space.
Performance and Efficiency in Harmony
The heart of the Maverick Hybrid is the synergy between its 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle gasoline engine and an electric motor. This combination ensures instant torque for quick starts and passing, resulting in 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in just eight seconds, all while delivering a smooth and quiet ride. Intelligent on-demand AWD ensures optimized performance across various terrains, solidifying Ford‘s commitment to clean energy and sustainability.
Versatility That Impresses
The Maverick Hybrid‘s cargo bed offers a capacity of 943 liters, or 584 kg, featuring a durable finish and the Flexbed system, along with eight tie-down points and a standard tonneau cover. With a towing capacity of over 450 kg and the advanced Pro Trailer assist, the pickup proves to be a powerful ally for both work and leisure.
Daniel Sanches, National Sales Manager at Ford, stated:
The Maverick Hybrid is a vehicle that surprises even those beyond traditional truck fans, thanks to its exclusive combination of size, style, handling, and comfort. This Saturday’s event is an opportunity for the public to experience all of this in practice, and our network is ready to make this a special moment.
This initiative by Ford reinforces the automaker’s commitment to offering innovative and sustainable solutions in the Brazilian automotive market, driving the adoption of clean energy technologies.
