2022 Ford Puma ST-Line 1.0 Petrol Hybrid

The 2022 Ford Puma ST-Line 1.0P (Puma 1.0L EcoBoost mHEV ST-Line) is highly praised for its engaging driving dynamics, innovative practicality features, and stylish design. It stands out in the compact SUV market for being genuinely fun to drive while still offering utility.
Driving Experience and Performance

Fun-to-Drive Dynamics: The Puma's standout feature is its handling, which is considered the most enjoyable in the small SUV segment. Its chassis is well-controlled in corners, offering sharp and responsive steering, minimal body roll, and a general sense of agility inherited from its Ford Fiesta underpinnings.
Punchy Mild-Hybrid Engine: The 1.0-litre three-cylinder EcoBoost engine, particularly the 153bhp/155PS version, provides surprising power and torque for its size. The mild-hybrid (mHEV) system smooths power delivery, mitigates turbo lag, and makes the car feel more muscular in town and at motorway speeds than its displacement suggests.
Selectable Drive Modes: The inclusion of "Normal", "Eco", "Sport", "Slippery", and "Trail" driving modes allows drivers to tailor the car's powertrain and traction control response to different conditions or preferences.

Practicality and Interior


Innovative "MegaBox" Storage: A key selling point is the 80-litre, plastic-lined storage compartment (Ford calls it the "MegaBox") located under the boot floor. It has a drain plug, making it ideal for storing muddy boots, wet sports gear, or even as a makeshift cooler, and can be hosed out easily.
Generous Boot Space: With 456 litres of standard capacity (or 410L with a space-saver spare wheel), the Puma offers one of the largest and most usefully shaped boots in its class, which expands to over 1,200 litres with the rear seats folded.
Quality Infotainment and Tech: The car is well-equipped with modern technology, including the responsive 8-inch or 12-inch SYNC 3 or 4 touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and an available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Physical climate controls below the screen are a user-friendly feature.

Design and Features


Sporty Styling: The ST-Line trim offers an attractive, sporty appearance with unique body styling, larger alloy wheels (17-inch or 18-inch), a large rear spoiler, and a lowered, stiffer sport suspension.
Comprehensive Safety Features: The 2022 model was re-tested by Euro NCAP and scored a respectable four stars (originally five stars under an older test), with a high rating for child occupant protection. It comes standard with numerous assistance features like Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Keeping Aid, and Speed Sign Recognition.
Comfort and Convenience: Standard features like a Quickclear heated windscreen, heated front seats/steering wheel (optional on some trims), automatic headlights, and keyless entry add significant daily convenience and value.
