If you're in the market for a stylish compact crossover that provides a modern feel, then a Ford Puma is a great choice. It's enjoyable to drive and comes with loads of standard kit. It's also highly efficient and affordable to buy, run and own.
Ford has several self-charging mild-hybrid powertrain offerings for maximum efficiency, all equipped with front-wheel drive. There's an option between a 6-speed manual and 7-speed automatic transmission.
Petrolhe compact design of the Puma allows for urban navigation, but it can be slightly cramped in the cabin, though not nearly as much as it looks from the outside.
Interior spaceThe Ford Puma has been part of two different styles, with the newest showcasing a compact crossover design. This version went on sale in 2019, while the original sports coupé was available in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Both are completely different models, with the current generation prioritising practicality, efficiency and everyday usability.
The original Puma design started as the Lynx concept back in 1996 and went into production as a 1998 model year Puma. While the name was different, the shape and general appeal of both were the same. It was built on a stretched-out Fiesta wheelbase and had a variety of petrol engines.
Styling included swept-back headlights, similar to what would be seen in a cat's eyes, and it had a broad air intake in the lower bumper to cool down the engine. Sport bucket seats let drivers feel like they were driving down the track, but interior space was limited.
While the name is old, the new crossover seeks to please a new market. With its mild-hybrid configuration, Ford hopes to work towards lowering the emissions outputs of its range. It was released with a variety of powertrain offerings, so there's some customisation available.
Inside the cabin, space is slightly limited, but it's not much different from other crossovers of this size. Ford sprinkled several high-tech features throughout the cabin to ensure that the ride never becomes mundane.

The newer crossover offered by Ford is based on the Fiesta supermini. It's a similar design to the Toyota Yaris Cross, which uses Yaris underpinnings. Other models include the Nissan Juke, Seat Arona, Peugeot 2008 and Skoda Kamiq.
The Ford Focus hatchback is nearly 20 cm longer than the Ford Puma, making it slightly bigger. It's also 8.5 cm lower than the Puma, losing 3.1 cm of ground clearance, but the Focus also has a bigger boot space.
Yes, Ford began production of the Puma crossover in 2019. In the future, Ford plans to release an electric Puma model, possibly sometime in 2024, which should go head-to-head against the Peugeot e-2008 and the Mini Aceman (also soon to be released).
The majority of the lineup isn't considered fast, with 0-62 mph times of around 9 seconds or higher. However, the ST has a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine to pump out 200-horsepower, giving it a 0-62 mph time of 6.7 seconds.
Yes, the Puma has a spacious interior and lots of practicality that is useful for families, including a 456-litre boot and 60/40 split folding rear seats. It's also a very safe vehicle having achieved four out of five stars in the latest round of Euro NCAP testing.
The Puma offers affordability both in terms of buying and running costs. Fuel Economy is great, and servicing and repairs costs a low, too.
No, there are no four-wheel drive versions of the Puma.
