On the outside, the design retains the familiar shape of the traditionally powered version, characterized by its playful curves and expressive headlights while introducing a modern twist. The new trapezoidal grille has been swapped out for an upside-down U-shaped black trim, reminiscent of the Mustang Mach-E. Additional features like a rear spoiler and specially designed wheels enhance the vehicle’s aerodynamics.
Inside the Puma, the raised centre console redefines space, eliminating the traditional gear lever and handbrake. This design introduces extra storage compartments, a wireless phone charger, and a sliding armrest for comfort at hand. The drive selector’s new position behind the steering wheel contributes to a clean and functional layout, offering drivers the option for one-pedal driving for a more efficient ride.
