Ford enters the 2022 model year riding a wave of new product that champions the past while steering the brand forward. The Ford Mustang Mach-E electrified the iconic pony car, and this year it gets the GT juice that exceeds the performance of the venerable 5.0-liter V-8. An electric version of America's bestselling vehicle will bow for 2022 with the F-150 Lightning, but Ford's most impressive entry does something else few other automakers are doing right now: The 2022 Ford Maverick is a great value.

There's nothing evolutionary about the 2022 Ford Maverick small pickup truck, except that the utility vehicle costs $20,000 utility vehicle with a hybrid powertrain that gets 42 mpg. Brilliant. More of that.

Ford also expands its Timberline off-road trim to more SUVs this year, and other appearance and sport packages to familiar models. Here are the new and noteworthy changes to the Ford 2022 lineup.
