2021 Ford Puma price and specs

Engines

All versions of the 2021 Ford Puma sold in Australia are powered by a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine which makes 92kW of power and 170Nm of torque.

Drive is sent to the front wheels via a seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission.

Unfortunately, the hottest Puma of the lot, the ST, won’t be coming to Australia.

Fuel Economy

The 2021 Ford Puma uses 5.3L/100km on the combined cycle and has a 42L fuel tank.

The Puma’s EcoBoost engine includes fuel-saving cylinder deactivation, meaning it can shut off one cylinder under low engine load to save fuel.

All models also feature automatic stop/start.

Dimensions

The standard 2021 Ford Puma measures 4186mm long, 1805mm wide and 1550mm tall.

ST-Line and ST-Line V models are slightly longer at 4207mm due to a sportier body kit.

The standard Puma has 166mm of ground clearance whereas the ST-Line and ST-Line V have 164mm of clearance due to their lowered sports suspension.

Servicing and Warranty

The 2021 Ford Puma is covered by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.

For the first four years/60,000kms, Ford offers scheduled maintenance capped at $299 per visit.

Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km, whichever comes first.
