While production issues seem to be easing, the waitlist for a cheap Maverick Hybrid is still long, so few people likely were able to take advantage of that deal. The base Maverick now starts at $22,195 (before delivery), so that price was very short-lived. It’s been a couple of years and it’s probably time to reconsider the Hyundai Santa Cruz in light of the data we have. The Santa Cruz, with its mediocre fuel economy, suddenly seemed too expensive and less of a value. While both are unibody, crossover-based platforms molded into trucks, Ford had the genius idea of launching with a hybrid version priced (in theory) under $20k that could return an EPA-rated 42 mpg in the city. The bad news is it took a while and, in the interim, Ford showed off the Maverick. The good news is we did get it, mostly in a form promised by the concept, albeit with an extra set of doors and Hyundai’s new (and improved) corporate face. I really hope Hyundai can bring this thing to market as close as possible to the concept. I actually think I’m more excited by this concept than the Ford GT, which is both the most insane and most rational thing I’ve ever thought, simultaneously. Here was Jason’s conclusion way back in 2015 when the concept debuted: There’s always a bit of trepidation when you go back and see what a past, probably dumber version of yourself wrote, but I feel better knowing that both my yearning for the Santa Cruz was matched by Jason and others after seeing the concept: I love the Maverick, I do, but a few days with the Santa Cruz convinced me it was every bit the vehicle I’d pleaded for almost a decade ago. In the interim, Hyundai did decide to build it and, oh, oops, the Maverick also came out and I got distracted. I was part of a movement of journalists trying to persuade Hyundai into building a production version of its Santa Cruz concept trucklet.
