What is it?
The Puma is Ford's Fiesta-based small SUV, refreshed for MY25 with a new digital cluster, a 12.8-inch SYNC 4 infotainment screen, and the addition of the all-new Puma Gen-E electric variant. The signature MegaBox wet-storage well carries over.
The lineup runs from Puma 1.0T MHEV at $35,290 plus on-roads, through to Puma Gen-E at $54,000 plus on-roads. Warranty cover sits at 5 years, unlimited km.
Interior and Technology
Three powertrains in one body: mild hybrid petrol, hot ST manual, or full EV. MegaBox wet-storage well adds 80 L of hose-out cargo space on top of the 410 L boot.
1.0L 3-cylinder can sound rough under load, and the 7-DCT can hesitate at parking-lot speeds. The Gen-E's 376 km WLTP range is mid-pack for the money.
