Ford has expanded the range of the Puma model, offering additional equipment and engine options. Customers can now choose, for the first time, between a Ford Puma with a 1.5-liter 120 hp EcoBlue diesel engine, a Ford Puma equipped with a seven-speed automatic transmission and dual clutch and a new luxury equipment variant - Puma ST-Line Vignale . Ford has invested approximately 200 million euros in its state-of-the-art production unit in Craiova to support the production of the Puma model. Thus, Ford's investment in Craiova from 2008 to date amounts to 1.5 billion euros.

Comprehensive range of Ford Puma engines with 1.5-liter EcoBlue diesel engine, 120 hp and six-speed manual transmission is a compelling option for long-distance drivers - delivering from 99 g / km of CO2 emissions and consumption from 3.8 l / 100 km in NEDC mode (from 118 g / km and 4.5 l / 100 km in WLTP mode). A new option, seven-speed automatic transmission, is available for the 1.0litriEcoBoost petrol engine of 125 hp, providing CO2 emissions of 110 g / km, and a fuel consumption starting from 4.9 l / 100 km NEDC (from 137 g / km and 6.0 l / 100 km WLTP).

The higher number of transmission ratios and dual-clutch functionality allow for perfect gear changes and help optimize fuel consumption and improve driving comfort and dynamics. Ford Puma customers at the end of last year were among the first to benefit from 48-volt Ford mild-hybrid technology for increased fuel efficiency. EcoBoost Hybrid engines are offered in two power variants, in combination with six-speed manual transmissions:

• EcoBoostHybrid of 1.0 liters and 125 hp, with CO2 emissions of 97 g / km and a fuel consumption efficiency of NEDC of 4.3 l / 100 km (from 126 g / km and 5.5l / 100 km WLTP)

• EcoBoost Hybrid of 1.0 liters and 155 hp, with CO2 emissions of 99 g / km and a fuel efficiency of 4.4 l / 100 km NEDC (from 126 g / km and 5.5 l / 100 km WLTP)

The luxurious Puma ST-Line Vignale

Based on the Puma ST-Line sports variant, the Puma ST-Line Vignale offers extra style and premium specifications. Unique details include satin aluminum upper grille, black lower grille, lower body bumper and a large rear spoiler. Standard equipment includes LED headlights, seats with Windsor leather upholstery, Manacor leather-wrapped steering wheel, premium B&O sound system and Ford KeyFree system.

The equipment variants available for the Puma, Titanium, Titanium X and ST-Line X models feature innovative technologies in the standard, including the post-impact braking pre-collision assistance system, as well as the versatile Ford MegaBox storage solution, capable of house objects up to about 115 cm high - such as houseplants or golf equipment - in an upright position. The extended Ford Puma range is available for orders at authorized Ford dealers in Romania.

Earlier this month, Ford announced that a new Ford Performance model, the Puma ST, will join the range later this year.
