Meeting the 2025 standard will require an average improvement in fueleconomy of about 4.1%
which are regulated under the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) because of their adverse effects on human health and the environment.

You can spend more to get more of course, with an Enhancement Package at $4000 for the 30e featuring metallic paint, an alarm system and Harman/Kardon surround sound (surely a good stereo should be standard when youre north of $100k?)

Subaru’s EyeSight driver-assist system is now standard. Oh, and with decent fueleconomy, if possible (27/34/29 here).

This review will be an unusual dual-trim review – I drove two separate Sequoias within a short time of one another. They’re not different enough to justify two separate reviews. It’s a smooth powertrain, with enough low-end grunt for standard commuting, but this a heavy vehicle and you feel it. with one stone.
For starters, there is a choice of two petrol (with 48-volt mild-hybrid assistance) and one plug-in hybrid drivelines, all with standard all-wheel drive.

The Cross Sport is so similar to the seven-seat Atlas that I considered writing only one review, but hey, we have a content (and SEO) beast to feed. There’s an available light bar for the grille, new standard LED adaptive headlamps, and LED rear lighting with an available light strip. The rest of the changes are cosmetic.
Considering that the lower-trimmed models come with all the standard technologies most drivers would probably be satisfied with, that’s where the true value proposition resides.

The standard-feature list is actually pretty comprehensive. At least the promised fueleconomy is on the high side – EPA numbers are 29/40/33. The SE is the second-highest trim in the lineup (we’re separating the sporty Jetta GLI here) but my test car felt a bit more Spartan than that. Overall, it could use a few more beans.
Otherwise the experience was pretty standard Maverick with the 2.0-liter While I love that Ford offers a hybrid Maverick – and I’ve heard from at least one real-world hybrid Mav user that the fueleconomy numbers are great – I find the 2.0-liter Unfortunately, I didn’t have a chance to find out. liter EcoBoost engine.
We don’t always cover exterior styling in these reviews – you see the pictures – but I’d be remiss not to talk about the Timberline’s, at least a bit.
