Chronology
Predecessor Ford EcoSport (Australasia)

The Ford Puma is a subcompact crossover SUV (B-segment) marketed by Ford since 2019. It is considered an SUV equivalent of the seventh-generation Fiesta.[4] The vehicle is only available for the European and Australasian markets, with sales starting in Europe from 2019 and sales in Australasia from late 2020.[3] In the European market, the Puma is positioned above the EcoSport and below the Kuga (also called Escape outside Europe).

Overview

Ford first announced the Puma crossover at its event Go Further in Amsterdam, along with the introduction of the third-generation Kuga. The Puma nameplate was last used on the Puma sport compact. The vehicle is based on the seventh-generation Fiesta platform (Ford Global B-car platform).[5]

Production of the Puma started in Craiova, Romania (Ford Romania) in October 2019 along with the EcoSport subcompact crossover and the EcoBoost 1.0 L Fox engine used in both cars. Ford invested two hundred million euros, and employed 1,700 people on the project.[6]

The Puma is offered with a mild hybrid 1.0 litre EcoBoost three cylinder turbo gasoline engine with a belt driven integrated starter, which uses energy from the braking system to charge the forty eight volt lithium ion battery pack in order to increase torque and lower emissions. Power is rated at 153 bhp (155 PS), 114 kW, and 240 N⋅m (180 lb⋅ft) with an additional 50 N⋅m (37 lb⋅ft) from the integrated starter system.
