The best-selling passenger model in the Ford range in Europe is available in 125PS and 155PS versions, while for those looking for the ultimate driving experience behind the wheel of a Puma, the new Puma ST Powershift with 170PS is now available
The new Ford Puma is the compact crossover that comes to breathe new life into the segment by offering the most advanced safety and connectivity technologies, combined with a completely upgraded interior that ensures all passengers unparalleled levels of comfort, practicality and space.
In addition to all the above advantages that come to frame the impressive proportions of the body with the distinctive new exterior design, the new Ford Puma also puts forward the most advanced range of powertrains that offer customers a wide range of options.
More specifically, the new Ford Puma today offers a choice of powerful and highly fuel-efficient powertrains, featuring 48V mild hybrid technology that ideally supports the familiar fun driving experience of the compact crossover. All EcoBoost Hybrid petrol engines feature an integrated belt-driven starter/generator (BISG) in place of the standard alternator, which allows energy normally lost during braking and driving to be recovered and stored to charge an air-cooled ion battery 48 Volt lithium.
The BISG also acts like a motor, working with the engine, using stored energy to provide torque assist during normal driving and acceleration, as well as to operate the vehicle’s peripheral electrical systems. The 1.0L EcoBoost Hybrid 3-cylinder engine is available in the new Ford Puma with a maximum output of 125PS and 155PS combined with Ford’s advanced 7-speed dual-clutch Powershift automatic transmission, which provides all driving scenarios with seamless shifts for more refined operation – this gearbox even allows three gears to be downshifted for quicker overtaking when drivers demand maximum acceleration.
The 1.0L EcoBoost Hybrid Powershift 125PS version stands out for its extremely limited fuel requirements consuming 5.7-5.8 l/100 km with CO2 emissions of just 129-130 g/km (WLTP), while the corresponding 155PS variant requires 5, 7 l/100 km and emits 129 g/km (WLTP). In addition, the 1.0L EcoBoost Hybrid 125PS petrol engine is also available in conjunction with Ford’s 6-speed manual transmission, offering fuel consumption of 5.4 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 121-122 g/km (WLTP).
All powertrain versions of the new Ford Puma come with selectable drive profiles (Drive Modes), which include Normal, Eco, Sport and Slippery options, helping all drivers to further optimize the driving experience and adapt the reactions of the drive system to driving conditions and needs
