The model
Read full reviewWith its nippy acceleration and agile handling, the Puma will put a bigger smile on your face than any other small SUV. It’s a car you can buy with your sensible hat on, too, thanks to its low CO2 emissions, excellent real-world fuel economy, cleverly designed boot and attractive monthly PCP costs.
The trim
See full equipmentAs the top-spec non-ST Puma model, the Vivid Ruby Edition is very well-equipped. As the name suggests, it only comes in ‘Vivid Ruby’ metallic paint and there’s a contrasting black roof, black door mirrors and rear spoiler. There are 18-inch alloy wheels, a powered tailgate, front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view parking camera all as standard.
The engine
See full engine specsOur favourite engine. With 153bhp, it can hit 60mph from a standstill in just 8.5sec, making it as nippy as much pricier small SUVs, such as the Audi Q2 35 TFSI. Fuel economy is barely any worse than than entry-level 1.0 Ecoboost mHEV 125 – in our True MPG test it averaged 45.1mpg.
