The V-6 engine used to be the happy medium, providing more power than a four-cylinder and better gas mileage than a V-8. Now, thanks to forced induction, V-6s can chug gas with the best of them and outperform many iconic eight-cylinders. In fact, there are cars packing V-6 engines that blow away anything with a Hemi V-8 under the hood.

The refreshed 2025 Ford Explorer debuted this past February, and has since entered production at the Chicago Assembly plant, alongside its luxurious counterpart, the Lincoln Aviator. With deliveries of both of those updated models already underway, it was only a matter of time before the 2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility debuted as the law enforcement-focused version of the Explorer, and now, that’s precisely what has happened.

2025 Ford Police Interceptor Utility Officially Debuts

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).

The Ford Maverick adds AWD to its hybrid lineup

The refreshed 2025 Ford Explorer debuted back in early February bearing a number of changes including slight exterior styling tweaks, along with a host of interior revisions and the addition of the brand new Ford Digital Experience software. However, along with a pared-down trim level lineup that saw the deletion of the King Ranch trim, the 2025 Ford Explorer was also curiously missing any sort of hybrid powertrain option. Now, we know why that’s the case.

Here’s Why There’s No 2025 Ford Explorer Hybrid

The manual transmission may be dying, but the 7-speed manual transmission is all but dead. This peculiar transmission type first popped up in 2012 with the introduction of the 991 generation of the Porsche 911. In that instance, Porsche and transmission supplier ZF engineered the manual and PDK to share many of the same components to help fuel economy and make parts more common along the range. Today, only one vehicle still uses a 7-speed manual in the US, and instead of speed and fuel efficiency, it's built for improved off-road prowess.

Although the Honda Civic has made recent headlines with its new hybrid powertrain, the beloved Si trim is sticking around, joined by its own 2025 refresh. The Civic Si has never been short on fun, revered as a reliable, comfortable and affordable commuter angled more towards the performance-inclined. While not as “to the wall” as its Type R sibling, the Si is sporty enough for most enthusiast drivers thanks to its peppy engine and, best of all, six-speed manual transmission.

In most cases, electric vehicles (EVs) have a much higher initial purchase price when compared to an internal combustion engine (ICE) car. So, in order to get the best of both worlds, most people will land on a hybrid model. But for each hybrid, there can be steep depreciation over the first few years after its release, resulting in a lot of lost value. On the other hand, this means that the slightly older models are offered at a significant discount. For hybrid SUVs, there are only a handful of answers if you want something reliable, efficient, and at a good price point. The answer lies in Toyota.
