Mechanics

The Maverick is equipped with a Duratec 2.5 petrol engine, Atkinson cycle and variable controls, with a torque of 210 Nm (@ 4,000 rpm), coupled to an e-CVT transmission, where the electric traction motor and also a generator are integrated. . This advanced transmission uses planetary gears and has a reduced function for steep climbs and descents. The two engines, electric and combustion, work separately or together to drive the front wheel drive. This selection is made automatically, without driver action, to offer the best performance and output based on torque and power demand and battery charge level.

The regenerative brake with assistance on ramps, the active aerodynamic grid, the Auto Start-Stop system and the high efficiency tires, measuring 225/60 R18, contribute to the Maverick Hybrid reaching a combined consumption of 14.6 km/l (standard INMETRO). The fuel tank holds 57 liters.

The traction battery, made of lithium-ion cells, has a capacity of 1.1 kWh and a maximum power of 27 kW. It weighs 27 kg, has a liquid cooling system and is extremely compact, which allows it to be installed under the floor without interfering with cabin space.

The vehicle also comes with five driving modes: Normal, Tow, Slippery, Eco and Sport, which automatically adjust the stability and traction control, throttle and steering sensitivity to optimize performance and safety in each driving condition.
