Ford Puma SUV (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 is a compact SUV that has become one of the UK's best-selling cars thanks to its blend of style, practicality and driving enjoyment. At around 4.2 metres long, it competes with rivals such as the Hyundai Kona, Nissan Juke and Skoda Kamiq. Despite its small size, the Puma is one of the most practical in its class, featuring a 456-litre boot with a clever hidden MegaBox compartment adding 80 litres of waterproof storage. The electric Puma Gen-E offers an even larger GigaBox at 145 litres, with a total boot capacity of 523 litres and a range of 233 miles.

The Puma is widely regarded as one of the best small SUVs to drive, with crisp handling and a responsive 1.0-litre EcoBoost mild-hybrid engine available in 123bhp, 153bhp and 168bhp (ST only) versions. The electric Gen-E delivers 165bhp and reaches 62mph in 8.0 seconds. All versions offer generous standard equipment, including a new 12.0-inch touchscreen with SYNC 4 infotainment, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Running costs are supermini-like, with fuel economy around 48-52mpg and CO2 emissions between 121-135g/km. The Puma Gen-E includes five years of free servicing and 10,000 miles of free charging.

Best for: Buyers seeking a practical, fun-to-drive compact SUV with excellent boot space, those wanting generous standard equipment, and families looking for an affordable electric option with low running costs.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum rear headroom, buyers seeking an extended new-car warranty, or those needing the longest electric range in the class.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Puma if: You seek a practical, fun-to-drive compact SUV with excellent boot space, want generous standard equipment, or are looking for an affordable electric option with low running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum rear headroom, require an extended new-car warranty, or need the longest electric range in the class.

Competitive Position: The Ford Puma stands out as a genuine highlight in the compact crossover segment. Whilst it arrived slightly later than some rivals, it quickly made its mark through distinctive character, excellent value for money and sporty driving manners. In a class full of worthy but rather unimaginative small SUVs, the Puma excels at being both fun to drive and highly practical. With generous equipment levels, smart styling, a lively 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine and the all-electric Gen-E option, the Puma emerges as one of the strongest all-rounders in a competitive class. Small wonder it's the UK's best-selling car.
