Ford Puma ST - first information on the sporty crossover based on Fiesta.

With the Fiesta ST, Ford has shown how a sporty small car must be designed. The third generation of the hot hatch is now optically discreet, but still sporty in style. The Ford Fiesta ST has become an indispensable part of the squad of sporty small cars and has firmly established itself as a competitor for the Polo GTI. Now his crossover brother named Puma was also shot in sporty ST trim by a Erlkönig hunter, so that we can show you the new sporty small car SUV in all its glory.

Design is sporty, but not chubby

It stands out very conspicuously, with its baby blue paintwork, the new Ford Puma ST, which differs from the regular model by a sporty wire mesh grill and a large intercooler, which huddles in the engine compartment so that it is clearly visible. He also carries a double-pipe exhaust on the right, which is in the style of his small car brother Fiesta, and a slightly larger roof spoiler than the tamer versions. The Recaro sports seats and sports steering wheel immediately catch the eye in the interior. In addition, the center console gets some carbon trim to underline the sporty claim of the new Ford SUV.

The engine is known from the Fiesta ST.

In terms of drive technology, a 1,5-liter three-cylinder petrol engine with turbocharging and cylinder deactivation goes to work - yes, you read that right, because the engine can also run with two cylinders in the partial load range - which produces 200 hp and a hefty 290 Newton meters of maximum torque. The power is transmitted via a six-speed manual transmission, which is also known from the Fiesta ST. With it, the Ford Puma ST should sprint from 0 to 100 km / h in under seven seconds and reach a more than adequate top speed, which has not yet been announced.

The first of its kind.

While the sport versions of the established SUV models are slowly coming onto the market, which have so far been limited to the compact class SUVs such as the VW T-Roc R or the Cupra Ateca, Ford is breaking new ground with the Puma ST , Neither Volkswagen nor Opel, to name a few direct competitors, have a sports version of their T-Cross or Crossland models in the pipeline, and no import brand has a rival for the Ford Puma ST at the start. So it will be very exciting to see which sports models will cause a sensation in the small car SUV class in the future if it turns out that the new Ford Puma ST is a bestseller.

the market is definitely there

So far, small car SUVs have not been associated with sportiness, but rather with comfort and utility, and mostly you can also see older people who have little or nothing to do with sportiness and car tuning. We have to wait, but the clientele for small SUV models could be expanded to include young and dynamic customers who place great value on sportiness if the experiment Ford does with the Puma ST should pay off in the future.
