Ford Puma (New) Automatic Ecoboost 1.0 (Non Hybrid)

[FordPuma]

Hello, I have spent far too long searching Youtube and Google for this but have not found a clear answer.

The automatic only comes with the Ecoboost 1.0 (without hybrid technology).

1) Is it fast enough? even without the hybrid technology
2) Any idea what the real 0-60 is or the torque figure, 170Nm with 200Nm overboost?(non-hybrid) 

Any kind of input after test-driving it is welcomed
Thank You

Hi, not tried an automatic, but have test driven a manual 125ps mild hybrid. Personal opinions obviously differ, but even with a manual with the mild hybrid assistance I wasn't impressed with the performance, and I'm no boy racer!

According to Ford literature the torque for the automatic is 200Nm and the 0-62 10.2 secs (against 10 for the non-hybrid manual and 9.8 for the mhev manual). The dual clutch auto with an extra ratio may be quicker in the mid-range, though. I guess the only way to find out if it's "fast enough" for you, is to try and get a test drive, though I appreciate that can be tricky in the present circumstances.

On your other point, it was an ST-Line and suspension seemed fine to me - reasonably firm but not harsh.

There's one video (POV) of someone driving a LHD version on youtube.

It looks quite responsive.

LOL at the splash screen.  It's not exactly a svelte feline predator is it?

I have just collected my Puma Vignale in fantastic red in an automatic. Great gearbox, very smooth and I find it responsive enough.
