      looks pretty good. Small SUV which is available from November this year so will “probably” be on the scheme early 2020. Blimey. A Ford SUV that I actually like! Think I might need to sit down…

          A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox will be offered soon after launch.

            I thought that Mercedes was pushing it a bit calling the GLA a SUV, but Ford really are taking the p*** calling this an SUV.

            Nice looking car though, but definitely not an SUV.  In my very humble opinion

              It’s in most dealer showrooms if anyone fancies a look. According to comments here: https://www.pumaforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=79 it is not as tall as an Ecosport but is a lot wider and roomier inside / bigger boot etc.
              Also looks significantly better, both inside and out.

                I saw one and instantly thought it looked like a slightly raised Fiesta.

                  The first deliveries are on their way. Of course – I’m still waiting for the automatic 7-speed dual clutch version to be released before I can try it out prior to ordering later this year.

                  All aboard the Puma Express!

                    It’s the Fiesta Active that’s exactly that. Still not tall enough to bend my head into though, hopefully the Puma will be, coz I like the look of it.

                      Do we know when the 7gear automatic will be available on the mobility scheme? Anyone heard anything?

                          Amanda; according to a guy I know at my local Ford dealer, he seems to think it will be on early Q4. The auto was only released back in June and all were built for showrooms across Europe. Now that they have them, Ford are now building them to order – as per their UK website. He’s got no idea as regards AP though. Seeing as only the 125 version is available in automatic guise & with it not being the mild hybrid – I think the AP will be reasonable. Ford have always been very supportive of the Motability scheme… although in this very strange covid world that we now live in, who knows what Q4 AP’s have in store for us all!

                              doesnt look high enough for me, not really an suv more a rebadged fiesta active.

                              i would have to try it out but i dont think my back would approve.

                              it would need to be a low ap to get me interested.

                                The Puma was a really great fun little car, not sure why they badged this mini suv Puma. It’s a shame the new kuga hasn’t got the same type of deep floor for storage, I can see that being quite useful for trips to the dump etc.
