Isisho sithi “izikhathi ziyashintsha, zizoshintsha” kanti neFord Puma entsha iwubufakazi balokho. Iqale yahlotshaniswa ne-sports coupé encane etholakala ku-Fiesta, igama elaqala ukubonakala kwaFord ngo-1997 selibuyile, kodwa linefomethi ehlangabezana nezifiso zemakethe yezimoto yekhulu lama-21.
Azisekho izithiyo emisebenzini yomndeni kanye nemigqa ye-coupe, kanti i-Puma iphinde yavela njenge-crossover, ekuphenduleni okucacile kulokho okuvezwe njengomkhuba oyinhloko emakethe yezimoto eminyakeni yamuva.
Naphezu kokusuka komumo we-coupe, kusekhona izici ezivamile phakathi kwamaPumas amabili emlandweni wakwaFord. Ngoba, njengasesikhathini esidlule, i-Puma ayiqhubeki nje ukwabelana ngesiteji ne-Fiesta, kodwa futhi izuze ingaphakathi layo elingaphakathi. Kodwa-ke, njengoba i-crossover, i-Puma entsha ithatha isici esisebenzayo nesiguquguqukayo.
Awusweli isikhala...
Njengoba ishiye ifomethi ye-coupe, i-Puma ikwazile ukuzithatha njengenketho elungele umndeni. Ake sibone: naphezu kokuhlanganyela inkundla neFiesta, iPuma inendawo yokuthwala imithwalo engu-456 l, ingaphezulu kakhulu kwe-292 l yeFiesta ngisho ne-375 l yeFocus.
Isesesiqwini futhi njengokungathi ifakazela ukuthi izikhathi lapho iFord Puma nesikhala bekuyimiqondo ephikisanayo kade zanyamalala, iPuma inezixazululo ezifana neFord MegaBox (igumbi elingaphansi elinomthamo ongu-80 l okuvumela ukuthi usebenzise hambisa izinto eziningi ezinde) kanye neshalofu elingabekwa ezindaweni ezimbili eziphakeme.
Ukuqedela umthombo oguquguqukayo wePuma entsha, iFord iphinde yanikeza i-crossover yayo yakamuva ngesistimu evumela ukuvula indawo yemithwalo ngokusebenzisa inzwa engaphansi kwebhampa yangemuva, into ebesivele siyayazi kwezinye izinhlobo zomkhiqizo kanye ne-debut esigabeni ngokusho. kwe Ford.
…nobuchwepheshe futhi
Yize iPuma yokuqala ibigxile (cishe kuphela) ekushayeleni ubumnandi, entsha bekumele icabangele ukuziphendukela kwemvelo okudlule kukho eminyakeni engu-22 ehlukanisa ukwethulwa kwalezi zinhlobo ezimbili.
Ngakho-ke, nakuba i-Puma entsha ihlala ithembekile emiqulwini eguquguqukayo yomkhiqizo (noma ingenayo i-Fiesta chassis) iphinde iziveze njengemodeli enokuzibophezela okuqinile kwezobuchwepheshe, okuhumushela ekuvikelekeni okuhlukahlukene, induduzo kanye nezinsiza zokushayela. .
Isibonelo salokhu yizinzwa eziyi-12 ze-ultrasonic, ama-radar amathathu namakhamera amabili ahlanganisa i-Ford Co-Pilot360.
Lokhu kuhlanganiswe nemishini efana ne-adaptive cruise control ene-Stop&Go function (etholakala uma iPuma ifakwe u-gearbox oyi-double clutch), ukuqashelwa kwezimpawu zomgwaqo noma insiza yokulungisa umgwaqo, yonke into iPuma yokuqala ebikwazi ngayo. kuphela… iphupho.
I-Mild-hybrid system nayo yenza i-debut yayo
Akugcinanga nje ngokwesimo somzimba nobuchwepheshe obukhona okwenza imboni yezimoto ithuthuke kule minyaka engu-20 edlule, nobufakazi balokho wuhlu lwezinjini okuzotholakala ngazo iPuma entsha.
Ngakho, njenge-Fiesta ne-Focus, i-crossover entsha enegama le-feline izoba nenguqulo ye-hybrid-hybrid, lapho injini encane kagesi engu-11.5 kW (15.6 hp) ithatha indawo ye-alternator nenjini. iqala, futhi ihlotshaniswa 1.0 I-EcoBoost enamazinga wamandla amabili - 125hp no-155hp sibonga i-turbo enkulu kanye nesilinganiso esiphansi sokucindezela.
I-Designated Ford EcoBoost Hybrid, lolu hlelo lulethela iPuma ithuba lokululama nokugcina amandla e-kinetic okubhuleka nalapho yehla umqansa ngaphandle kokusheshisa, iwaguqule abe amandla kagesi, abe esephakela amabhethri e-lithium-ion angama-48 V; ukunciphisa i-turbo lag; iqinisekisa ukusebenza okushelelayo nokushesha kwesistimu yokumisa; futhi ivumela i-freewheeling.
Mayelana nezinye izinjini, iPuma entsha izophinde itholakale ne-1.0 EcoBoost enguqulweni yayo ngaphandle kwe-mild-hybrid system kanye ne-125 hp, kanye nenjini ye-Diesel ezobonakala ihambisana nezishintshayo ezinamagiya ayisikhombisa ayi-dual-clutch, kodwa lokho kuzofinyelela emakethe kazwelonke kuphela ngo-2020. Nasemkhakheni wama-transmissions, kuzotholakala no-gearbox onamagiya ayisithupha oshintshwayo.
Ngaphambili, imininingwane ye-chrome igqamile.
Ihlelelwe ukufika emakethe yesiPutukezi ngoJanuwari ngezinga lempahla ye-Titanium, ST-Line ne-ST-Line X, i-mild-hybrid kuphela enako kokubili okuphumayo okungu-125hp no-155hp okuhlotshaniswa nebhokisi lamagiya angu-6-speed manual, amanani entengo yeFord Puma entsha.
Lokhu okuqukethwe kuxhaswe ngabakwa-
