As the crossovers and Jeeps continue to bite the sales pie, no major importer can afford to be caught without a relevant model in the hall.
Ford has been like this until now, looking at more and more vehicles sold in the smaller segments of the crossover and Jeep group across the range that spans the Seat Arona, Hyundai and New and the like to vehicles like the Kia Saltos and Toyota CHR.
But now that gap has closed with the start of Ford Puma marketing, in the 90s it was a small coupe, now it's a crossover - in both cases based on the Fiesta.

The dimensions of the Ford Puma are 419 cm long, 181 cm wide, and 155 cm high. The wheelbase is 259 cm - these are the numbers that are placed right in front of a Hyundai Kona, just below the 2008 Peugeot. And Skoda Comic.
The trunk is 410 liters in size and offers an arrangement called MEGA BOX - a huge trunk that allows you to load long objects while standing in the trunk, but according to Israeli law, a model that offers a replacement wheel by the manufacturer - must be brought to Israel.
Therefore the lower part of the cell is occupied by the spare wheel.

Under the hood, the Puma gets the 1.0-liter engine from the Ford "EcoBoost" series, the same turbocharged three-cylinder engine that you'll also find in the Ford Focus.
The power is 125 hp at 4,500 rpm and the torque is 17.3 kg at 1,400 rpm.
The gearbox is a dual-clutch robotic with wet clutches, this is not that power shift gearbox that has done tremendous damage to the Focus' reputation due to questionable reliability, but a new generation of dual-clutch robotic gearbox.
By the way, if you look closely, you will find that this is the box that comes from the same factory that also supplies it to the Mercedes A-Class and Renault models, including the Clio and Capture.
By the way Capture, like him, the cougar also uses surprising drum brakes at the rear.
Performance: 10.2 seconds per 100 km / h and 187 km / h maximum.
Choose to import with the more equipped finish levels (Photo: Manufacturer's website)
Like the Focus, the Puma is imported to Israel with the three higher levels of finish available on the model.
Titanium will be the entry-level version and above it ST Line and ST Line X.
All trim levels receive Ford's full safety package that includes pedestrian detection and automatic braking, lane departure correction, adaptive cruise control, "dead zone" vehicle warning, cross traffic warning Rear, automatic control of lights, speed sign detection and more.
The titanium finish level includes, among other things, a chrome frame for the grille, a chrome trim strip at the bottom of the door, 17-inch rims, a multimedia system with an 8-inch screen, Apple and Android compatibility, a mechanical air conditioner and more.
The ST Line finish level puts sportiness into the show with a glossy black grille, front and rear spoiler.
The cabin has keyless propulsion, steering wheel control, the dashboard is 12.3-inch digital and more.
At the top of the offer is the ST Line X with a panoramic sunroof, rain sensors, 18-inch rims, a B&O audio system with 10 speakers, climate control, wireless charging, carbon-fiber-like interiors and leather in the doors and more.
You can also order the model with a silver or black painted roof and the titanium finish level with an optional equipment package of black leather upholstery combined with fabric and massage for the front seats.

The cougar in the titanium finish level starts at NIS 127,900, with the ST line rising to NIS 133,900 and the ST line X finish level climbing to NIS 144,000.
The warranty is for 3 years or 100,000 km.
Unlike the Ford Focus which came in at a very attractive pricing alongside exceptional instrumentation, the Puma converges in its prices to acceptable numbers in the category. Part of the reason is the change in the green tax formula that will expensive the model by several thousand shekels. It “jumped” it from level 4 to 9. But an equally good reason is the much more competitive market and the demand for small crossovers.
Another year!

With all due respect to Puma, the three real bombs are dropped on me by Shachar Shemesh, CEO of Delek Motors, just before the end. He says that in a matter of months, the Mustang will land here for the first time on a regular basis and later this year one of Ford's 2021 vehicles. The rugged terrain that comes to wriggle head-to-head in a wrangler and already in advance tells me sun “it will not be cheap.” The third model is to some extent the combination of these two cars - off-road capabilities with athleticism - yes, the Ford Raptor which is actually a Ford F-150 that completely exaggerated with training But for him we'll have to wait until the end of the year.
