Ford, in a surprising turnaround,announces the return of Puma in 2024. This model, although less known in Brazil, was a success in Europe and played a crucial role in the retirement of the popular Fiesta and Ecosport. With a renewed design and innovative features, the Puma promises a triumphant return.

At the beginning of February, Ford revealed the first major restyling of the Puma. Despite the discreet exterior changes, the new look is already causing a frenzy among consumers. The headlights have received an LED update, and the iconic Ford logo now adorns the front grille. Internally, the vehicle is more technological than ever. It features a 12,8-inch instrument panel and a 12-inch multimedia center, equipped with Ford's SYNC 4 system, 5G connection and integrated Alexa. Additionally, the ADAS package has been improved, adding new features to the adaptive autopilot system.

Triumphal return of the iconic Ford Puma SUV in 2024: Previously equipped with a 1.5 horsepower 200 turbo engine, the Puma re-emerges in the hybrid era

The Puma, an SUV with a sportier feel, pays homage to Ford's 1990s sports car. In 2024, the model will only have electrified engines, reflecting the growing trend towards sustainability and energy efficiency.

Previously equipped with a 1.5 horsepower 200 turbo engine, the Puma ST now embraces the hybrid era. The new heart of the Puma is a 1.0 horsepower 170 mild hybrid turbo engine, accompanied by a seven-speed dual-clutch automated transmission. An engine that promises dynamic driving is a nod to Ford's environmental responsibility.

The other versions of the Puma are no slouch in terms of innovation. The entry-level model, with a six-speed manual transmission, offers 125 horsepower. The mid-range models, sharing the same transmission as the ST version, offer 155 horsepower. This diversity ensures that the Puma caters to a wide range of consumer preferences, from those seeking efficiency to performance aficionados.

Ranger, Maverick, Bronco and F-150, at the top of sales

Speaking of success, Ford has reason to celebrate. In 2023, the brand stood out with models that led sales. The robust Ranger, the versatile Transit, the innovative Maverick, the adventurous Bronco and the legendary F-150, all reinforce Ford's legacy in the automotive market. These models demonstrate Ford's versatility, and its ability to innovate and adapt to market trends.

O return of the Ford Puma in 2024 represents Ford's adaptation to the demands of the modern market while paying homage to its rich automotive heritage. With technological innovations, eye-catching design and a commitment to sustainability, Puma is ready to redefine what we expect from SUVs.
