Signal lights integrated into the body-colored heated side mirrors and lights that illuminate the floor when switched on are other visual details that enhance the quality perception.
Semi-hybrid technology
The new Ford Puma; It will be the first model to use Ford's innovative semi-hybrid system that brings high fuel efficiency while delivering superior driving pleasure with its performance.
In the EcoBoost Hybrid technology, an integrated starter / generator (BISG) of 1,0 kW is connected to the Puma's 11,5 liter EcoBoost gasoline engine with a strap. Replacing the traditional alternator, BISG converts kinetic energy generated at the moment of braking into electrical energy and uses it to charge the air-cooled 48 Volt lithium-ion battery. BISG also uses the stored energy to engage the three-cylinder petrol engine with additional torque during normal driving and acceleration. The semi-hybrid system is available in two power versions: 125 PS and 155 PS. The hybrid system offers 50 percent more torque than the petrol engine, especially at lower speeds, thus providing a smoother driving experience.
Thanks to the 50 Nm torque introduced by BISG, the fuel efficiency of the gasoline engine is improved by 9 percent compared to the WLTP norm. With the addition of additional torque, the 125 PS version consumes 5,4 lt / 100 km fuel and offers 124 gr / km CO2 emission emissions. The 155 PS version consumes 5,6 lt / 100 km fuel and 127 gr / km CO2 emission emission value.
Confident technologies
Advanced driving assistance systems, including the Lane Keeping System developed with the standard Roadside Detection function, bring a more comfortable, less fatigue and safer driving experience. Thanks to the new function added, the system detects the point where the asphalt runs out and a different ground starts as sand, gravel, grass or banquet outside the asphalt and interferes with the steering wheel to prevent the vehicle from leaving the lower surface.
The Collision Prevention system with Pedestrian Detection detects people near the road, on the road or about to cross the road, and helps the driver to avoid or reduce the impact of a possible collision.
The new Ford Puma features Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go feature, Traffic Sign Identification System and Lane Average System.
Innovative and practical
The new Ford Puma 456, with the best trunk volume in its class, without compromise, offers a liter of luggage and innovative storage solutions. With the rear seats folded, a 112 cm-long, 97 cm-wide and 43 cm-high box fits in the flexible luggage compartment.
Developed to meet customer requirements, the Ford MegaBox creates a deep and versatile storage space that can comfortably accommodate two golf bags in an upright position. Again, this area can be covered and evaluated for using dirty objects such as muddy boots. The special drain plug makes it easy to clean this area with water.
Luggage functionality is supported by hands-free tailgate technology, a first in this class.
New Ford Puma is scheduled to be launched in Turkey in 2020
