The model
Read full reviewWith its nippy acceleration and agile handling, 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, cleverly designed boot and attractive monthly PCP costs.

See full equipmentUpgrading to ST-Line trim (over Titanium) brings sportier styling and a swaps the conventional instrument dials behind the steering wheel for a whopping great 12.3in digital display. However, you lose the Titanium's massaging front seats (you get sports seats instead) and have to make do with manual air-conditioning, which simply blows warm or cool air on demand rather than maintaining your chosen interior temperature.
The engine
See full engine specsWith 124bhp the Ecoboost mHEV 125 can accelerate from 0-60mph in 9.5sec – far quicker than the Nissan Juke or the Volkswagen T-Roc 1.0 TSI. It comes as standard with a super-slick, six-speed manual gearbox, and if you want the alternative smooth, seven-speed automatic gearbox, that comes minus the mild hybrid tech. Regardless of the gearbox, this engine pulls reasonably well from low revs, although the more powerful 1.0 Ecoboost mHEV 155 version is much faster.
