Ford's previous form in crossovers is a bit spotty. Spoiler alert: this one's a good 'un
Pros Engine,chassis, room,clever ideas. A well-rounded effort
Cons Ford needs it, but do we? We'll just take a Focus
With its agile cornering and surprisingly nippy performance, the Ford Puma will put a bigger smile on your face than any other small SUV. But it’s a car you can buy with your sensible hat on, too, thanks to its low CO2 emissions, excellent real-world fuel economy, a clever boot and attractive monthly PCP costs.
Pros Great fun to drive Remarkable blend of performance and fuel economy Big, clever boot
Cons Rear space is adequate rather than outstanding Visibility could be better VW T-Roc is more comfortable and refined
The all-new Ford Puma SUV has the potential to really shake up the well stocked compact crossover class. Some rather drab-looking dashboard and interior materials disappoint, but in other areas it’s punching to be the best car of its type. It’s good to drive, and one of the most practical models in this highly competitive segment, too. We can’t wait to test one in the UK; even with a surfeit of new rivals – and those rather divisive looks – Ford appears to be onto a winner with the Puma.
