The automotive industry's smallest pickup truck is back to rock the road for another year! The 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid aims to continue its reign as the go-to compact truck for drivers of all ages and backgrounds. Still available at an affordable price, the Ford Maverick combines performance, fuel economy, utility, and capability into one compact package.

2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid: Everything Confirmed So Far

Performance pickups are nothing new, going all the way back to the 1955 Chevrolet Cameo Carrier hot rod truck. They were, for the most part, fast for trucks and not necessarily competitive with performance cars. The 1978 Dodge Li'l Red Express, the 1990 Chevy C1500 454 SS, and the 2001 Ford SVT Lightning could all blow away every other truck on the road, but couldn't hang against top-performance cars.

Ford updated its midsize Maverick truck lineup for 2025, including new looks, updated infotainment, and — by popular demand — a hybrid all-wheel-drive option. The hybrid Maverick originally only came with front-wheel drive, so you previously had to opt for the gas-only version if you needed to play pretend F-150 for some tasks (and didn’t want to change your whole personality).

High-revving engines like the Corvette Z06's LT6 flat-plane crank V8 provide thrilling power at 8,600 rpm. Not all sports cars reach such high redlines, but cars like the C8 Z06 deliver track-ready performance. If you're searching for a high-revving U.S.-made sports car, head to a Chevrolet dealership for the Corvette...

The only manual V8 RWD sedan left in America is a compelling proposition all on its own; the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a reminder of what AMG used to be, and after being refreshed for 2025 with new looks and a 33-inch touchscreen, it's on par with German automakers in the interior tech department. The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing didn't get any performance enhancements when it was revealed at the beginning of this year, and we didn't think it needed any, but now Cadillac has addressed the issue with a new Precision Package that promises enhanced handling for all driving conditions.

PARK CITY, Utah – It’s not often that I go to a press event to drive four cars, yet here I am, smack dab in the mountains of Utah with scheduled time in the 2024 Audi Q8 and SQ8 as well as the 2025 Audi Q7 and SQ7.

There are a lot of factors that determine how much power an internal combustion engine makes, but the biggest is simply how fast it can consume fuel. This is true in both turbocharged and naturally aspirated drivetrains. While turbo or supercharged engines can get away with smaller displacements, because they force the fuel into the combustion chambers, the best way to make more ponies with air-breathers is to increase the cubic inches.

The Largest Displacement V8 Ever Put In An American Car
