The modern Ford Puma (2019–present) is a small SUV designed to do it all: nip around town, offer plenty of space for families and keep running costs sensible. Drivers love the Puma’s sharp handling, affordable mild-hybrid tech and smart interior touches – especially the innovative underfloor boot storage, which adds genuine practicality for everyday life.
The name ‘Puma’ first appeared on a small coupé from 1997 to 2002, but the latest version takes a very different, family-friendly approach. Available with a range of efficient 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engines (most with mild-hybrid assistance), the new Puma rides on the same platform as the much-loved Ford Fiesta, meaning it feels agile and sprightly. For those after more excitement, the Puma ST delivers hot-hatch performance in a practical SUV shape.
Compared to rivals like the Nissan Juke, Skoda Kamiq and Volkswagen T-Roc, the Puma impresses with its fun-to-drive nature and useful features, though some alternatives have a roomier or softer interior. Key features include rear parking sensors as standard, an 8-inch touchscreen, and versatile boot space that outthinks the class. It’s a great pick if you want lightweight ownership and a car that still feels special behind the wheel.
All modern Ford Pumas come with a strong suite of safety tech as standard. Features include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, traffic sign recognition, and lane-keeping assistance. Higher trims can add blind-spot monitoring, cross-traffic alert and more. Euro NCAP awarded the Puma a four-star safety rating.
Most used Pumas are fitted with 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engines, offered in 125PS and 155PS outputs, often with mild-hybrid technology (mHEV). Manual gearboxes come as standard, with a seven-speed automatic as an option. The Puma ST delivers high performance with a 1.5-litre petrol engine. Earlier, classic coupé models (1997–2002) used 1.4L, 1.6L and 1.7L petrol engines.
Puma models include an 8-inch touchscreen with DAB radio, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. The screen size was expanded to 12 inches in the 2024 and newer versions. Upper trims add digital driver displays, B&O premium sound, wireless phone charging and climate control. All versions are generously kitted out as standard, with options to make life easier whether you’re commuting or heading for a weekend away.
Ford Puma 1.0 EcoBoost mild-hybrid models typically achieve an official combined MPG of 47–52mpg, depending on engine and gearbox. Even non-hybrid 1.0-litre versions manage over 46mpg. The performance-focused Puma ST averages around 41mpg. Real-world figures will depend on driving style and trip types but are generally very competitive for the class.
When buying a used Ford Puma, check for service history, any interior electronics issues, signs of damage or wear to the suspension and the condition of tyres and brakes – especially on high-mileage cars. The AA Vehicle Inspection service can give you comprehensive peace of mind before you buy.
Overall, the Puma scores reasonably for reliability and hasn’t had any major flaws highlighted in recent surveys, though some owners report minor infotainment or trim issues. Ford as a brand sits mid-pack for reliability among UK manufacturers, and most Pumas will come with a proven EcoBoost engine and a three-year/60,000-mile warranty from new.
The modern Ford Puma (2019–present) uses 1.0-litre turbocharged mild-hybrid petrol engines (125PS and 155PS), plus the high-performance 1.5-litre unit in the ST (up to 200PS). The earlier coupé (1997–2002) offered 1.4L, 1.6L, and 1.7L naturally aspirated engines.
