Ford Puma (2019-Present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very practical, especially the big boot	Rear headroom could be more generous
Generous standard equipment	Short new-car warranty
Choice of petrol and electric versions	Some electric rivals offer longer ranges

Quick Summary

The Ford Puma, launched in 2019, has become one of the UK's best-selling cars by successfully blending style, practicality, and an enjoyable driving experience. Despite being a compact crossover based on the Fiesta, it offers impressive interior space and a class-leading 456-litre boot. Its standout feature is the 80-litre waterproof 'MegaBox' hidden beneath the boot floor, which adds a level of versatility that few rivals can match.

All versions of the Puma are fun to drive, with crisp handling and a choice of efficient 1.0-litre mild-hybrid petrol engines or a fully electric 'Gen-E' model. Running costs are low, with petrol versions capable of up to 52mpg. A 2025 facelift updated the interior with a large 12.0-inch touchscreen and plusher materials, ensuring the Puma remains a top contender in its class. Generous standard equipment across the range adds to its strong value proposition.

Best for: Drivers wanting a small SUV that's fun to drive, buyers who prioritise boot space and practicality, and those looking for a stylish, well-equipped crossover with low running costs.

Not ideal for: Those who regularly need to carry tall adults in the back, buyers who want a long manufacturer warranty as standard, or EV buyers who need the longest possible range.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Puma if: You want a small SUV that combines genuinely fun handling with class-leading practicality and stylish looks.

Consider alternatives if: Maximum rear passenger headroom is a priority, or you require an electric vehicle with a longer range than the Puma Gen-E offers.

Competitive Position: The Ford Puma is a standout in the compact SUV class, successfully blending driver appeal with family-friendly practicality. Its clever 'MegaBox' boot, efficient engines, and generous equipment make it a compelling package. While some rivals might offer more rear space or a longer warranty, the Puma's all-round ability and strong value cement its position as a class leader and a UK best-seller.
