Is the 2023 Ford Maverick a good car?

Generally — the 2023 Ford Maverick earns 4.4/5 from owners and 7.3/10 from our experts. The standout strength is Cost effectiveness at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its impressive gas mileage, comfort, and value, and many also like the hybrid option and practical design for family and hauling use. The Maverick’s distinctive styling and versatile character help it stand out in the compact-truck segment. On the other hand, the cabin can be noisy and the infotainment system is older, so it suits you best if you value efficiency and utility more than a polished interior experience.

Is the 2023 Ford Maverick reliable?

Owners rate it 4.4/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owners describe it as dependable for everyday use, with strong value and practical usefulness that help it feel like a truck you can count on. The hybrid powertrain also supports a reputation for trouble-free efficiency, especially for buyers who want low running costs over the long term. Ford’s hybrid setup and the Maverick’s overall efficiency-focused design reinforce that dependable character.

For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the truck has been maintained properly, especially if you’re considering a higher-use example.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Ford Maverick?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base XL comes with 17-inch Sparkle Silver-painted steel wheels, while XLT gets 17-inch Carbonized Gray aluminium wheels and Lariat upgrades to 18-inch Bright aluminium wheels. The cabin is full of hard plastics, and the base setup is the most basic, so you should check whether the extra comfort and appearance upgrades in higher trims matter to you.
• Powertrain: The standard hybrid pairs a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for 191 horsepower and 155 lb-ft of torque, while the 2.0-litre EcoBoost brings 250 hp, an eight-speed automatic, and standard AWD in Canada. The Tremor package adds off-road hardware and the only way to get Ford’s Advanced 4WD system.
• Safety package: Ford Co-Pilot 360 is standard, with automatic high beams, pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, and a rear view camera on every trim. Available features include adaptive cruise control, lane centring, evasive steering assist, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and hill-descent control.
• Infotainment: The standard setup uses an 8-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, wired Apple CarPlay, and wired Android Auto. Lariat adds a 6.5-inch LED driver display, while the Luxury Package brings Sync 3, a wireless charging pad, SiriusXM services, and an eight-speaker B&O audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: The hybrid returns 5.8 L/100 km city, 7.1 highway, and 6.4 combined. The gas engine is rated at 10.9 L/100 km city, 8.4 highway, and 9.8 combined, while Tremor rises to 11.9 city, 9.9 highway, and 11.0 combined.

Which 2023 Ford Maverick trim should I buy?

The 2023 Ford Maverick is offered in 3 trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat.

Here's the short version:

• XL: This is the value play if you want the Maverick’s core hybrid efficiency and basic truck utility at the lowest entry point. It makes the most sense if you care more about affordability than extra comfort or tech.
• XLT: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds more appealing wheels and opens the door to more equipment and packages without jumping straight to the top end. If you want a balanced mix of price, features, and flexibility, start here.
• Lariat: Choose this if you want the most comfort and convenience features, including the larger driver display, push-button start, ambient lighting, and available Luxury Package upgrades. It suits you best if you plan to keep the truck longer and want a more polished daily-driver experience.

Ford Co-Pilot 360 is standard across the lineup, so you don’t need to move up a trim just to get the core safety suite.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Ford Maverick?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it pays to compare listings carefully and move quickly on strong examples.

• Deal availability: 36.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 222 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.09% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $32,634 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Ford Maverick's resale value?

The current average of $32,634 CAD sits slightly below last year's $35,507 CAD.

That softer pricing suggests the Maverick has become a little more accessible for used buyers, which can make it easier for future sellers to attract attention if the truck is well kept. Because demand is still supported by its efficiency and practical appeal, clean examples should remain relatively easy to move. The strongest resale prospects will likely belong to trucks with desirable equipment, good condition, and clear maintenance history.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.4/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Ford Maverick safe?

The 2023 Ford Maverick earns a four-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA), losing points for rollover resistance and for the passenger’s side in the frontal crash test. The NHTSA also noted that their gas-powered tester emitted smoke and flames following the crash. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave the 2023 Maverick a Superior rating for vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention and Advanced for vehicle-to-pedestrian in daytime, but it earned only a Basic rating for vehicle-to-pedestrian at night.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Ford Co-Pilot 360 is standard, so every trim gets automatic high beams, pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, and a rear view camera. Available upgrades include adaptive cruise control, lane centring, evasive steering assist, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and hill-descent control.

The night pedestrian-prevention result is the main safety caveat to keep in mind if you do a lot of driving after dark.

Should I buy a 2023 Ford Maverick or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 36.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.09% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 adds the Tremor package, which brings extra off-road capability and more variety to the lineup.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $29,059 CAD, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $32,634 CAD average.
• It introduced the Maverick as a simple, approachable compact pickup with a standard hybrid powertrain.

The bottom line: If you want the more interesting and better-equipped version of the Maverick, the 2023 is the stronger pick. If your priority is spending less up front and you’re happy with the original formula, the 2022 remains the budget-friendly alternative.
