The rear passenger dummy's head approached the front seatback, which increases the risk of head injuries.
![](/api/ratings/images/6236.jpg?w=480)
Rear passenger dummy injury values indicate a low risk of injury to the head or neck and chest. During the crash, the shoulder belt remained in an ideal position on the dummy’s chest.
![](/api/ratings/images/6237.jpg?w=480)
The rear passenger dummy's lap belt moved from the ideal position on the pelvis onto the abdomen, increasing the risk of abdominal injuries.

Rating applies to 2022-24 models built after July 2022
Tested vehicle: 2023 Ford Maverick XLT Hybrid Crew Cab
The Ford Maverick was introduced in the 2022 model year. Beginning with 2022 models built after July 2022, improvements were made to the front side curtain airbag deployment as part of a recall issued by Ford which also includes the same fix to cars built earlier. (Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on the driver door or adjacent B-pillar.)

Curve-adaptive? | No |

Overall rating | |
Distance at which headlights provide at least 5 lux illumination: |
Low beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on the sharp right curve and fair on the gradual right and both left curves.
The low beams created some glare.
High beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on the right side of the road and inadequate on the left side. On curves, visibility was fair in all 4 tests.
High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on the straightaway, on both left curves and on both right curves.
