Get to Know the 2024 Ford Maverick Features

Back for this model year and ready to impress, the 2024 Ford Maverick pickup truck offers you both a gas-powered or a hybrid powertrain with exceptional style, comfort and technology features. As the complete package, the 2024 Ford Maverick is hard to beat, but the team at Ford of Port Richey knows that you have choices.

We’ve put together a comparison of the 2024 Ford Maverick vs Hyundai Santa Cruz that showcases how the all-new 2024 Maverick stands out from the competition. Read through the specs and then schedule a test drive of the all-new Maverick at our Ford dealership in Port Richey, FL.

Sleek, Yet Rugged Styling

There’s no denying that the 2024 Ford Maverick stands out on the road with rugged, yet sleek styling. The exterior features impeccable style with a black mesh grille with a black surround, 17-inch steel wheels and LED headlamps for better visibility. All configurations are equipped with a FLEXBED™ with six tie-downs while premium trims offer a spray-in bedliner, 18-inch wheels and a power moonroof.

When comparing the 2024 Ford Maverick vs Hyundai Santa Cruz, you’ll find that the 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz does offer 18-inch and 20-inch wheels but only offers an available power tilt and slide sunroof with premium trims. In addition, heated side mirrors are only available with top-level trims in the Santa Cruz lineup, such as the XRT trim and Night trims.

Both pickup trucks offer seating for five with four-door models, but the 2024 Ford Maverick comes standard with soft cloth seats and rear under-seat storage bins. Premium configurations feature heated front seats and ActiveX-trimmed seats for more comfort. You can also select a 2024 Ford Maverick trim level with ambient lighting, a heated steering wheel, an 8-way power driver seat with lumbar support and dual-zone automatic climate control.

The 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz offers cloth or leather seats as well as an 8-way power driver seat but you’ll find more headroom and legroom in the 2024 Ford Maverick from our Ford dealership in Port Richey, FL.

Impressive Engine Options

Whereas the 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz has only gas-powered options, a comparison of the 2024 Ford Maverick vs Hyundai Santa Cruz shows that the Maverick engines include both gas-powered and hybrid configurations. The 2024 Ford Maverick base level trims are powered by a 250-horsepower 2.0-liter EcoBoost® turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that generates 277 lb-ft of torque while pairing with front-wheel drive and an 8 speed automatic transmission.

Move to higher level trims of the 2024 Ford Maverick for the power of a 2.5L hybrid powertrain that generates 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque while pairing with all-wheel drive and a CVT. The 2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz only features a 191-horsepower 2.5L inline 4-cylinder engine that delivers 181 lb-ft of torque or a 281-horsepower 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine.

Superior Safety Technology

It’s all about high-end safety when test driving the 2024 Ford Maverick at our Ford dealership in Port Richey, FL. Both the gas-powered and hybrid models are equipped with pre-collision assist with automatic braking, the LATCH car seat anchor system and an advanced airbag system. Additional available driver assistance technologies include rear cross traffic alerts, blind spot monitoring and evasive steering.

A side by side look at the 2024 Ford Maverick vs Hyundai Santa Cruz shows that the Santa Cruz also offers blind spot collision avoidance and rear cross traffic alerts but only premium trims are equipped with smart cruise control and a surround view monitor.
