Ford: How the Puma continues to score points 🎥
FEINSCHLIFF Ford has sharpened the claws of its best-selling Puma. The brand's best-selling passenger car model in Europe launches with a refined design, upgraded interior and more powerful operating system.
The engine range of the new Ford Puma initially comprises three Ecoboost three-cylinder engines with 48-volt mild hybrid technology and 125, 155 or 170 hp. However, the all-electric Puma Gen-E will also be unveiled later this year. All drive variants will roll off the production line at the Otosan plant in Craiova, Romania. The Puma, which is just over 4.2 meters long, combines compact dimensions with good space and roominess. Even with five passengers on board, the luggage compartment still offers a volume of 456 liters. 80 liters of this is accounted for by the so-called megabox in the floor. It has an integrated water drain and is therefore easy to clean.
High-quality equipment
In addition to its exterior attributes, the new Puma focuses primarily on inner values. The clearly designed cockpit with the 12.8-inch instrument cluster and the 12-inch touchscreen take center stage. The voice-controlled Ford Sync 4 communication and entertainment system is now even faster. With Alexa Built-in, Puma drivers also have a digital assistance system at their side, which is networked with fast internet thanks to the standard 5G modem. The ambient lighting creates an elegant atmosphere, while the sports steering wheel, armrest and seats are upholstered in touch-friendly Sensico artificial leather. In addition, a special windshield coating improves noise comfort in the interior. Ford also offers a panoramic glass roof as an option for the Puma.
Driving comfort and safety
Numerous new assistance systems have been added to the Puma to further improve driving comfort and passenger safety. The adaptive cruise control system, which now also includes predictive cruise control, has been optimized, and the junction assistant scans parallel oncoming traffic when turning and detects if pedestrians or cyclists are crossing the targeted crossroads - even in the dark or if there are no road markings. The system can automatically activate the brakes to prevent collisions or mitigate their consequences.
