The car builds on the architecture of a new generation of hatch Ford Fiesta. The Puma trunk has a volume of 456 liters - this will be the "best indicator in the class." The salon will be with digital "tidy," an 8-inch SYNC 3 multimedia sensor, chairs with massage function and audio for ten speakers. The driver will have at his disposal an active "cruise," a rear camera, an emergency brake system, a parking assistance system, a pedestrian detection function, plus a restraint system on the drive lane.

For purchase, Ford Puma will be available with an installation that works according to the "soft hybrid" scheme.
