Ford Puma is renewed and focuses on elegance and technology.
The Blue Oval house has unveiled the new generation of its compact SUV, called upon to take over from the previous generation, which for Ford has represented a cornerstone of recent years in Italy and Europe.

Much attention has been paid to the interior, completely redesigned to increase sportiness, functionality and style.
The new interior design is inspired by those of sports cars, with screens oriented towards the driving position and a reduced number of buttons to create an essential environment.
5G connectivity then allows you to always be connected and fast in connections.
The technology also aids driving, with automatic cruise control helping to slow down at intersections and bends, while the 360° camera offers a bird's-eye view on the central screen for perfect maneuvering even in the tightest of spaces.
Even without a connected smartphone, drivers can then use Alexa Built-in and ask for information or play their favorite music via the front soundbar and the 10-speaker B&O audio system.
New comfort also thanks to the new sliding central armrest.
The two-spoke sports steering wheel, with a square design, is inspired by those of racing cars and makes entering and exiting the passenger compartment easier.
The new Puma is available with a 1.0-litre Ford EcoBoost Hybrid engine with 125 HP and 155 HP which uses a 48 volt battery to help save fuel or increase responsiveness.
For sportier driving, Ford Performance has developed the new Puma ST Powershift with 160 HP (170 peak).
The ST version has a sports-derived chassis, style and technical specifications and uses a seven-speed automatic transmission, also available for other Puma variants.
The Mild Hybrid engines will be joined by the 100% electric one of the Puma Gen-E, the first zero-emission Puma, which will be unveiled by the end of the year.
Customers can choose between Titanium, ST-Line and ST-Line versions.
There are six colors available, including the new Cactus Grey.
The new Puma, designed and built in Europe, is already available to order.
