Ferlazzo on design

“Like its bigger brother the Escape, the new Puma is a very deliberate attempt to change the perceived image of small Ford SUVs. Small crossovers are ostensibly small hatches on steroids and car designers love to work on them. Bigger wheels, nuggetty proportions and extra detailing make them far more interesting. I particularly like the rear and side view of the Puma, although the front face is a touch too cheerful for the rest of the car. The interior is pleasant but could have a bit more personality. Under the boot floor is a useful wet storage space for sweaty gym gear.”
