View dealThe Ford Puma is a five-seat small SUV, and it sits at the bottom of Ford's car range as the smallest model the brand sells. It's the car most people mean when they talk about a compact family runaround that still feels good to drive.
The choice is simple enough. One body style, two powertrains, either a 1-litre turbo petrol or a 53 kWh electric version, and a run of everyday trims plus two performance versions.
This page explains what each of those versions gives you, so you can work out which Puma suits you before you look at what's available to lease.

The Puma is a small SUV built around a hatchback-sized footprint: about 4.19 m long, five seats, and a boot of 456 to 556 litres depending on the version. That combination is the heart of its appeal.
Reviewers consistently praise the way it drives. Quick steering, little body roll and genuine enthusiasm on a country road, which is rare in this class, and the boot capacity gets singled out almost as often.
The criticisms are just as consistent: a firm ride, plenty of hard plastic in the cabin, and rear space that's fine for children but tight for tall adults. It holds a 4-star Euro NCAP rating and comes with Ford's 3-year, 60,000-mile warranty.
Because it covers a lot of ground for a small car. Every Puma has five seats, front-wheel drive, a boot between 456 and 556 litres depending on version, and the option of petrol or electric power without changing the shape or size of the car.
Every version is front-wheel drive, so there's no four-wheel-drive variant to weigh up. If you need to pull something, braked towing goes up to 1,100 kg depending on the version, which covers a small trailer or a light caravan.
On a lease, the warranty matters more than people expect. Ford's cover runs to 3 years or 60,000 miles, so on a three-year contract at moderate mileage you're largely inside it, and our team can talk you through where maintenance fits in.
There are two: a 1-litre turbo petrol and a 53 kWh electric version. The petrol suits drivers without home charging or with long, unpredictable journeys; the electric suits shorter regular runs where you can plug in overnight.
A 53 kWh battery, 166 bhp and up to 259 miles of range on the official WLTP test, always automatic and front-wheel drive. It needs charging, so it works best if you have a driveway or reliable charging at work. Road testers rate it as one of the more enjoyable small electric SUVs to drive.
The 1-litre turbo covers 123 to 168 bhp, with manual or automatic gearboxes and front-wheel drive. No charging, no planning, just fuel it. It's the choice if your mileage is high or your journeys vary, and reviewers rate the smaller outputs as perfectly adequate day to day.

There are eight everyday trims and two performance versions, and the honest answer is that most buyers land in the middle of the range where the screen and phone-charging kit arrives.
The starting point for the petrol range. You get 17-inch Absolute black machined finish alloy wheels, rear privacy glass, manual four-way driver's seat adjustment with lumbar support, and a centre console with armrest and stowage. The Titanium is currently available from £294.35 a month.
ST-Line is about the look rather than the kit: the change over Titanium is 17-inch black machined finish alloy wheels. If you like the sportier appearance, this is the cheapest way to it. The ST-Line is currently available from £301.46 a month. Against the Titanium, that is currently £7.12/mo more expensive.
This is where the convenience kit lands. Over the ST-Line you gain keyless start with a wireless charger, keyless entry with a power start button, and manual four-way passenger seat adjustment with lumbar support. The ST-Line X is currently available from £317.39 a month. Against the ST-Line, that is currently £15.92/mo more expensive.
Select is the entry point for the electric Puma. Against the Titanium it brings 17-inch alloy wheels, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, front parking sensors, multi-colour ambient lighting and a 12-inch landscape touchscreen with six-speaker audio. The Select is currently available from £298.61 a month.
Premium adds a rear-view camera, wireless charger, keyless entry with power start button, manual four-way passenger seat adjustment with lumbar support, and the 12-inch landscape touchscreen with the high-performance 10-speaker B&O audio system. The Premium is currently available from £320.45 a month. Against the Select, that is currently £21.84/mo more expensive.
Over the Premium, Black Edition brings 18-inch black alloy wheels, Ford SYNC with connected navigation, Neosuede upholstery and a 12-inch landscape touchscreen with six-speaker audio. Mostly a darker, more purposeful look. The Black Edition is currently available from £441.65 a month. Against the Premium, that is currently £121.20/mo more expensive.
This one builds on the ST, adding BlueCruise Edition partial premium synthetic leather upholstery and manual four-way driver's seat adjustment with lumbar support. It's a named edition rather than a step up in equipment. The BlueCruise Edition is currently available from £357.06 a month. Against the ST, that is currently £85.56/mo cheaper. Best value
Listed separately and based on the Black Edition, this version adds the BlueCruise Edition partial premium synthetic leather upholstery, a wireless charger, keyless entry with power start button, the 10-speaker B&O audio system and passenger seat lumbar adjustment. It's currently available from £341.81 a month. Against the Black Edition, that is currently £99.84/mo cheaper. Best value
Then there are the performance Pumas, both petrol and both 168 bhp.
The ST turns the Puma's handling up a notch: 168 bhp, Ford Performance seats in premium synthetic leather and manual six-way driver's seat adjustment with lumbar support. Road testers call it genuinely entertaining but firm-riding around town. The ST is currently available from £442.62 a month. Against the ST-Line X, that is currently £125.23/mo more expensive.
An edition of the ST, with the same 168 bhp, that adds Ford SYNC4 with connected navigation and a wireless charger. Worth a look if you want the ST character with the newer infotainment built in. The ST Edition is currently available from £504.74 a month. Against the ST, that is currently £62.12/mo more expensive.
Optional packs sit on top of a trim rather than replacing one. The Handling Pack and Adv Driver Assist Pack are available, and the Comfort Pack adds a wireless charger plus keyless entry with a power start button, as does the combined Comfort and Adv Driver Assist Pack. Availability varies by version, so check the individual deal.
If you're weighing the Puma against the rest of the class, the Škoda Kamiq, Peugeot 2008, Hyundai Kona and Toyota Urban Cruiser are all worth a look, alongside the wider Ford lease range.
Specifications from Ford's UK data and Euro NCAP; equipment, range and towing capacity vary by version, so check the individual deal before you order.
