How much does the 2023 Ford Maverick cost?

Prices have softened 6.76% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 230 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Ford Maverick a good car?

Generally — the 2023 Ford Maverick earns a 4.4/5 user rating and a 7.3/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Cost effectiveness at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its impressive gas mileage, comfort, and value for a compact truck, and many like the hybrid option and practical design for family use and hauling. The Maverick also stands out for its fuel-efficient, practical, and distinctive character, which helps it feel fresh in a segment that often leans heavily toward utility. For buyers who want a compact pickup that does more than the basics, that mix is a strong fit.

The trade-offs are real, though: the cabin can be noisy, the interior materials feel cheap, and the infotainment system is older. It also makes the most sense if you want a smaller, more approachable truck rather than a larger, more traditional pickup.

With 33.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still enough market activity to make comparison shopping worthwhile.

Is the 2023 Ford Maverick reliable?

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

Owner feedback points to a truck people can count on for practical use, with praise for its dependable hybrid setup, strong value, and trouble-free day-to-day ownership experience. The expert assessment also highlights the Maverick’s efficiency-first character and its ability to deliver useful truck capability without feeling oversized.

The Maverick’s ownership risk is best thought of as moderate for used buyers, so a careful inspection and service-history review still matter.

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

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base XL is the most stripped-back version, with steel wheels and fewer visual or comfort upgrades than XLT or Lariat. The Tremor package adds off-road capability, blacked-out exterior details, unique orange accents, and special wheels, while the Tremor Plus Appearance Package adds more styling changes.
• Powertrain: The standard hybrid pairs a 2.5-litre four-cylinder with an electric motor for 191 horsepower and front-wheel drive. A 2.0-litre turbo EcoBoost engine is also available, and it brings more power, an eight-speed automatic, and standard all-wheel drive in Canada.
• Safety package: 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. Additional features such as adaptive cruise control, lane centring, blind-spot monitoring, and hill-descent control are available, but not all are standard.
• Infotainment: The standard setup uses an 8-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, wired Apple CarPlay, and wired Android Auto. Lariat models add a 6.5-inch driver display, and the Lariat Luxury Package brings a wireless charging pad and Ford’s Sync 3 infotainment system.
• Fuel efficiency: The hybrid is rated at 5.8 L/100 km city, 7.1 highway, and 6.4 combined. The gas engine returns 10.9 L/100 km city, 8.4 highway, and 9.8 combined, while the Tremor package increases consumption 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, and Lariat.

Here's the short version:

• XL: This is the value-first choice if you want the Maverick’s core hybrid efficiency and practical truck layout at the lowest entry point. It is the best fit if you care most about keeping costs down and can live with the most basic equipment.
• XLT: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds a more polished look and gives you access to more available equipment, including the Tremor package if you want off-road capability.
• Lariat: Choose this if you want the most comfort and convenience features, including the larger driver display, power-sliding rear window, ambient lighting, and available Luxury Package upgrades.

Ford Co-Pilot 360 is standard across the lineup, so every trim starts with the same core safety suite.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to shop carefully and enough deal activity to make timing matter.

• Deal availability: 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 230 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.76% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $32,629 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 $32,749 CAD sits slightly below last year's $35,123 CAD.

That softer pricing can help you as a buyer today, but it also suggests sellers may need to be realistic when they list a Maverick later. If the market continues to normalise, resale values should remain supported by the truck’s efficiency, practicality, and broad appeal. Strong owner satisfaction also helps keep demand healthy when it is time to sell.

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 earned 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 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, which means every Maverick 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 result is the main caution to keep in mind if safety is a top priority.

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:

• 33.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.76% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.4/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• The Tremor package adds off-road capability and gives the lineup more variety for adventurous buyers.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $29,214 CAD, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $32,749 CAD average.
• It is a straightforward, approachable compact pickup with a standard hybrid powertrain and simple trim structure.

The bottom line: Choose the 2023 if you want the more current used-market choice with stronger feature interest and a broader appeal. If your priority is saving money and you are comfortable with a simpler setup, the 2022 is the better value-oriented path.
