Ford has given three of its models a mild price increase, with two of its SUVs the targets of pricing adjustments.
The pricing changes for both models are the same across all variants as part of a pricing adjustment for 2023.
Ford Australia also confirmed to CarsGuide there are no specification changes to either model to coincide with the price increase, which sees pricing before on-road costs up by $500 per grade for both the Puma and Escape.
The smaller of the two, the 2023 Ford Puma, now starts from $30,840 before on-road costs at its Titanium spec while the top ST-Line V grade of its three-variant line-up is now $36,390.
The Puma is still front-wheel drive only, with a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine making 92kW and 170Nm via an automatic transmission.
For the Escape, the base front-wheel-drive model is now $37,990 before on-road costs, while the cheapest AWD variant (in ST-Line guise) starts from $42,990.
The top spec ST-Line PHEV (plug-in hybrid) is now $54,940, also up $500. It’s the only Escape now powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, instead powered by a hybrid 1.5-litre unit.
There are no pricing changes to the accessories and options for either model.
