Why does my Ford Puma 2021 have a lag in acceleration?

I just bought a brand new Ford Puma 2021 and I noticed that there is a significant delay in acceleration when I step on the gas pedal. Is this normal or is there something wrong with my car? Can anyone provide some insight or tips on how to improve the acceleration?

Hi Jordan, it's not uncommon for new cars to have some lag in acceleration due to the engine breaking in. However, if you notice the issue persists, it could be a sign of a problem with your car's fuel system or transmission. I would recommend bringing it to a Ford dealership for a diagnostic check.

I had the same issue with my Ford Puma and it turned out to be a software glitch. I was able to resolve it by getting a software update from my local dealership. Have you checked to see if your car is up to date on its software updates?

I haven't experienced any lag in acceleration with my Ford Puma, but I always make sure to use premium fuel. It may be a bit pricier, but it really makes a difference in the performance of the engine.
