Ford Puma
Sustainable energy
In terms of mechanics, the Puma is available with a 999cc three-cylinder EcoBoost petrol engine, combined with EcoBoost Hybrid technology, which develops a maximum power of 125 hp and a maximum torque of 210 Nm. Traction is provided by the front wheels.
The micro-hybrid system employs an 11.5 kW starter/generator to replace the conventional alternator, which recovers and stores energy during deceleration and braking to charge the small lithium-ion battery. The availability of a maximum of 50 Nm in acceleration translates into a higher response speed, which allows the Puma Hybrid to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 200 km/h.
The Ford Puma Hybrid is equipped with an array of innovative features designed to enhance the pleasure of driving. Like Selectable Drive Modes and Ford Co-Pilot360, an exceptional suite of assistive technologies work together to help manage acceleration, braking and even steering. These include Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Collision Assist and Evasive Power Steering that closely monitor the road ahead, alerting you to potential hazards.
Interior
The passenger compartment of the Puma features the familiar lines of some of the most recent Ford models such as the Focus or the Fiesta, namely on the instrument panel and center console.
The generous 2.59 meter wheelbase provides more than enough space for occupants despite the sloping roofline. The front roominess is quite good, while the rear seats offer an acceptable dimension. In turn, passengers in the rear seats are seated in a higher position.
