Ford presented a refreshed edition of its most desirable model in Europe, the Ford Puma, which after the cessation of production of the Fiesta remained the only trump card of the American manufacturer in the segment of supermini cars.

At first glance, the car did not change its design, only some technological solutions were added, such as the new Matrix LED lights. The Puma now comes with a wider range of body colors (6) including the new Cactus Grey.

The interior has undergone major changes, such as the installation of a 12.0-inch touchscreen and a 12.8-inch digital instrument panel, which is no longer fully integrated into the dashboard, a new Sync 4 intotainment system, and a projected logo that is activated after opening the door.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Puma is no longer available in Europe with the 1.5L engines. Now this model is powered by a 1.0-liter EcoBoost Hybrid engine mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. That means 123 hp (92 kW) and 154 lb-ft (210 Nm) or 153 hp (114 kW) and 176 lb-ft (240 Nm).

Also, the all-electric Ford Puma EV is coming to the market soon. It will not differ much in design compared to the current generation. Small changes will be made to the front end. This means that the headlights will get new graphics, and the radiator grille, unlike the gasoline model, will probably remain closed due to aerodynamics.

When it comes to engine power, it is not known what Ford’s decision will be. Currently, the most important thing for Ford is to keep up with the competition in terms of autonomy, so the car should be equipped with a 55 kW battery that would enable a range of around 400 km WLTP.
