The Ford Puma is a stylish and efficient compact SUV, perfect for city driving and weekend trips. The ST Line trim adds a sporty design and enhanced driving dynamics for a more engaging experience.
The Ford Puma is available with 1.0 EcoBoost mild-hybrid petrol engines producing 125 or 155 hp, and a 1.5 EcoBoost with 200 hp in the sporty ST variant. All engines feature a 48V mild-hybrid system with integrated starter-generator, providing electric assistance during acceleration and regenerative braking.
Used Ford Puma prices in Portugal range from approximately EUR 16,000 for early 2020 models to EUR 33,000 for the Puma ST with full options. The popular 1.0 EcoBoost 125 mHEV Titanium from 2021-2023 typically costs between EUR 19,000 and EUR 25,000.
The Ford Puma stands out with its MegaBox underfloor boot storage system providing 80 litres of additional waterproof, drainable cargo space beneath the boot floor. Combined with class-leading driving dynamics inherited from the Fiesta platform, it offers a uniquely practical and fun-to-drive combination in the Portuguese crossover market.
The Ford Puma 1.0 EcoBoost 125 mHEV achieves approximately 5.5-6.5 L/100km in real-world mixed driving, with the mild-hybrid system providing noticeable savings in urban stop-start conditions. The 155 hp version delivers similar economy thanks to the same 48V system and cylinder deactivation technology.
The Ford Puma features Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment with an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless smartphone connectivity, a B&O premium sound system option, and a comprehensive suite of driver assistance systems. The digital instrument cluster, matrix LED headlights, and hands-free power tailgate are available on higher trim levels.
The Ford Puma is generally a reliable vehicle, though some owners report minor wind noise from the door mirrors at motorway speeds and occasional hesitation from the mild-hybrid system during cold starts. The infotainment system can be slow to boot up on older software versions, which can be updated at a Ford dealer.
The Ford Puma offers a more engaging driving experience and the innovative MegaBox storage system compared to the Volkswagen T-Roc. The T-Roc counters with a more premium interior ambiance, wider engine range including diesel options, and stronger brand residual values in Portugal, though the Puma typically costs less.
