Hybrids are no longer just a bridge; they've become the destination for Ford's latest growth engine. According to Reuters, the Detroit automaker saw its 2025 US annual sales climb 6% year-on-year. This surge comes at a critical time when the broader EV market is facing a significant cooling period.
Ford 2025 US Auto Sales Fueled by Hybrid Demand
The standout performer in Ford's portfolio was its hybrid lineup. By leaning into gasoline-electric powertrains, Ford managed to capture consumers who are hesitant about pure EVs but want better fuel efficiency. The F-150 Hybrid remains a dominant force, proving that even traditional truck buyers are ready to embrace electrification when it's paired with familiar utility.

Beyond hybrids, Ford's focus on "affordable" entry points paid off handsomely. The Maverick pickup truck, known for its accessible price tag, saw a significant spike in deliveries. In an era of record-high vehicle prices, Ford's ability to offer a functional, budget-friendly truck has allowed it to poach customers from competitors and sedan segments alike.
