Ford Puma SUV (2025) 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 the UK's best-selling car, combining distinctive styling with genuine practicality and engaging driving dynamics. Based on the Fiesta platform, it measures around 4.2 metres long and competes with rivals such as the Nissan Juke, Volkswagen T-Cross, and Hyundai Kona. The Puma's standout feature is its exceptional boot space of 456 litres, which rivals larger vehicles, plus a clever hidden MegaBox compartment offering an additional 80 litres. The electric Puma Gen-E variant features an even larger GigaBox at 145 litres, delivering 523 litres of total boot capacity.

Available with a 1.0-litre EcoBoost mild-hybrid petrol engine in three power outputs (123bhp, 153bhp, and 168bhp ST) or as a fully electric Gen-E with 165bhp and 233-mile range, the Puma delivers impressive fuel economy of 48-52mpg and low CO2 emissions of 121-135g/km. The 2025 facelift introduced a new 12.0-inch touchscreen with SYNC 4 infotainment, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus enhanced interior materials. Running costs are competitive, with the Gen-E offering five years of free servicing and 10,000 miles of free charging through Ford's Power Promise scheme. All versions remain below £40,000, avoiding premium vehicle tax rates.

Best for: Families seeking a practical, fun-to-drive compact SUV with excellent boot space, buyers wanting a choice between petrol and electric powertrains, and those prioritising value for money with generous standard equipment.

Not ideal for: Buyers needing maximum rear headroom, those seeking extended new-car warranties, or those requiring electric vehicles with the longest available ranges.
