The Ford Puma is a subcompact crossover built on the same platform as the Fiesta, positioning it in Europe’s B-segment alongside cars like the Renault Captur and Nissan Juke. It measures 4,186 mm long on a 2,588 mm wheelbase, with a distinctive raised ride height and a fastback-style roofline over the rear.
Every petrol Puma runs a 1.0-litre three-cylinder EcoBoost engine with 48-volt mild-hybrid assistance. An integrated starter-generator replaces the alternator, recovering energy under braking and adding torque fill at low revs. The entry engine makes 125PS with a six-speed manual or 7-speed DCT automatic, reaching 100 km/h in 9.8 seconds. A 155PS tune is DCT-only, and the ST performance version uses an exclusive 170PS state of tune paired with the DCT.
Trim levels run from Titanium through ST-Line and ST-Line X, with the ST sitting above as the performance model. Higher trims add adaptive cruise control, Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free driving system, and a 12.8-inch central touchscreen with SYNC 4 software. The rear seats fold flat, and Ford’s “Megabox” underfloor storage compartment beneath the boot floor adds extra capacity for wet or bulky items.
Pricing starts from around €27,490 for the entry Titanium trim and rises toward the ST at the top of the range. The Puma remains one of Ford’s core European models, built alongside the Puma Gen-E at the company’s plant in Craiova, Romania.
