 By Glynn Williams MBE, Motoring Correspondent THE stylish new Ford Puma SUV has won the 2021 Parkers New Car of The Year award after sweeping to victory in the hard-fought small family car category. “It was always going to be good to drive as it’s based on the bril- liant Fiesta. Adding to that, the Puma is incredibly practical with clever touches like completely flat boot walls, the useful Megabox and a parcel shelf attached to the tailgate where it’s out of the way.” Speaking about the Puma’s victory, Keith Adams, editor of Parkers.co.uk, said: “Bursting on to the scene as a stylish, useful and affordable family-sized SUV, Ford has hit the bullseye with its latest – and quite brilliant – Puma.

worthy Parkers New Car of The Year winner!” Ford took the spoils in the Van of The Year and Best Pickup awards, with Parkers’ van and pickups editor CJ Hubbard saying: “The Ranger is a hugely impressive pickup truck, with a choice of body styles, great payload capability and a vast options list.” Meanwhile, the Transit Custom just keeps on getting better says CJ, commenting: “With a continu- ous programme of updates and the addition of new models to suit an even broader range of cus- tomers, this van now has so many talents it was the clear choice for the 2021 Parkers Van of the Year Award.” Rounding out Ford’s awards haul, the previous-generation Fiesta has been crowned Best Used Car for the second year in a row. Keith Adams said: ‘It’s a great car to drive that’s avail- able in myriad versions, from

the super-economical EcoBoost petrols to the brilliant ST hot hatch. “Prices are competitive, servic- ing is cheap and it’s a reliable and safe car to invest your money in.” Other winners at the Parkers New Car Awards 2021 include Seat which took home the Best Large Family Car award and Best Seven-Seater with the Tarraco, and BMW, winner of the Best Company Car award for the excellent 330e plug-in hybrid. Renault also won a brace of awards with the Clio taking Best First Car and Zoe taking the spoils in the new Best Small Electric Car category. The Best Medium Family Car was the Mercedes-Benz GLB, while the Land Rover Defender swept to an easy win as the Best Off- Roader. The outgoing Car of The Year – the Tesla Model 3 – was still impressive enough to take the win in the hotly contested Best Large Electric Car category. 

Ford’s latest model shows that the company hasn’t lost its touch for delivering vehicles judged for today’s buyers – reflected by the Ford Transit Custom taking the Van of The Year and the Ford Ranger scooping the Best Pickup award. The expert review team at Parkers, the UK’s biggest new car buying and advice website renowned as a bible on valuations, loved the Puma saying: “We love the Puma’s combination of quirky styling, family-friendly practicality and some very thoughtful design and engineering touches. The impending arrival of the ST version adds even more excitement.

“Powered by a range of econom- ical mild-hybrid EcoBoost petrol engines, the Puma delivers all the pep most drivers need while deliv- ering excellent fuel economy. “You can see that Ford has really worked hard to make this the most practical and enjoyable family car possible, a fact that helps it not only win the awards category for Best Small Family Car but for over- all honours – the Ford Puma truly is a family car for now and it’s a
