Ford At The Top Of Sales: Ranger, The Versatile Transit, The Innovative Maverick, The Adventurous Bronco And The Legendary F-150, All Reinforce Ford’s Legacy In The Automotive Market

Ford, with a surprising turnaround, announces the return of the Puma. This SUV-height car, although less known in Brazil, was a hit 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.

In early February, Ford revealed the first major facelift of the Puma. Despite the subtle exterior changes, the new look is already causing a frenzy among consumers. The headlights received an update with LEDs, and the iconic Ford logo now adorns the front grille. Inside, the vehicle is more high-tech than ever.

It features a 12.8-inch instrument panel and a 12-inch multimedia center, equipped with Ford’s SYNC 4 system, 5G connectivity, and integrated Alexa. Additionally, the ADAS package has been enhanced, adding new features to the adaptive cruise control system.

Triumphant Return Of The Ford Puma SUV Icon In 2024: Previously Equipped With A 1.5 Turbo Engine With 200 Horsepower, The Puma Rises In The Era Of Hybrids

The Puma, an SUV with a sportier footprint, pays homage to Ford’s sports car from the 1990s. In 2024, the model boasts only electrified engines, reflecting the growing trend of sustainability and energy efficiency.

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

The other versions of the Puma do not lag behind in terms of innovation. The entry-level version, 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 meets a wide range of consumer preferences, from those seeking efficiency to performance enthusiasts.

Ranger, Maverick, Bronco and F-150 At The Top Of Sales

Speaking of success, Ford has reasons to celebrate. In 2023, the brand stood out with models that led the sales. The robust Ranger, versatile Transit, innovative Maverick, adventurous Bronco, and 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.

The return of the Ford Puma in 2024 represents Ford’s adaptation to modern market demands while paying tribute to its rich automotive legacy. With technological innovations, attractive design, and a commitment to sustainability, the Puma is ready to redefine what we expect from SUVs.
