Ford Puma — MPG & Fuel Costs 2025
Ford's compact crossover with the mild-hybrid EcoBoost engine. Practical boot, fun to drive, and decent real-world economy.
The Ford Puma has quickly become one of the UK's favourite compact crossovers, taking the spirit of the old coupe and transforming it into a stylish, high-riding family car. It features the clever Megabox lower boot compartment for extra practicality.
Power is delivered exclusively by 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol engines equipped with 48V mild-hybrid technology. This system captures deceleration energy and uses it to boost acceleration, reducing the load on the petrol engine.
With a real-world average of around 44 MPG, the Puma is highly competitive. Its lightweight body and aerodynamic shape help it maintain good efficiency even when fully loaded with family luggage.
