Ford Puma SUV 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 SUV, launched in 2019 and updated in 2025, is a highly popular compact crossover known for its blend of style, practicality, and engaging driving dynamics. It successfully resurrected the Puma badge, becoming one of the UK's best-selling small crossovers. Despite its compact size, it offers impressive practicality, notably featuring a 456-litre boot with a clever 'MegaBox' underfloor compartment (or 'GigaBox' in the Gen-E), making it surprisingly spacious for its class.

The Puma range includes popular 1.0-litre EcoBoost mild-hybrid petrol engines, available with manual or automatic transmissions, delivering around 48-52mpg. A fully electric Puma Gen-E was introduced in 2025, offering 165bhp, a 233-mile range, and highly competitive running costs, particularly with Ford's 'Power Promise'. All models benefit from generous standard equipment, with a 12.0-inch touchscreen and 12.8-inch digital instrument cluster as standard after the 2025 facelift, reinforcing its value in a competitive segment.

Best for: Drivers seeking a stylish, practical, and fun-to-drive compact SUV, those needing a versatile boot with innovative storage, or buyers looking for an affordable and well-equipped electric family car (Gen-E).

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising maximum rear headroom, those desiring a longer new-car warranty, or those needing a longer electric range than the Gen-E offers compared to some rivals.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Puma if: You're seeking a stylish, practical, and fun-to-drive compact SUV, need a versatile boot with innovative storage, or are looking for an affordable and well-equipped electric family car (Gen-E).

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum rear headroom, desire a longer new-car warranty, or need a longer electric range than the Gen-E offers compared to some rivals.

Competitive Position: The Ford Puma stands out in the compact crossover market by successfully combining distinctive style, strong value, and engaging driving manners. While some rivals might offer slightly more rear headroom or longer EV ranges, the Puma's unique 'MegaBox' boot, comprehensive standard equipment, and appealing petrol and electric powertrain options make it a compelling all-rounder. Its widespread popularity, including being the UK's best-selling car in 2025, underscores its strong competitive stance as a practical, fun, and well-priced option.
