The first generation of this off-road vehicle appeared in March 1993 and was identical to the Nissan Terrano II produced by Nissan ( Nissan Motor Ibérica ) in Barcelona, Spain . The Maverick differed only in the brand emblems ( badge engineering ). It was optionally available as a three- or five-door model and with four-cylinder engines with a displacement of 2.4 liters (petrol) or 2.7 liters (diesel). In October 1996, the Maverick was given a slight facelift, which could be recognized by the round double headlights and the chrome grille. The 2.7-liter turbodiesel got a charge air cooler and an electronic engine control system to be able to comply with the new exhaust gas limits. The output has now increased from 73 kW to 92 kW. While the Nissan Terrano II was thoroughly revised in spring 2000, production of the Ford Maverick ended in March 1998.
