With its nippy acceleration and agile handling, the Ford Puma will put a bigger smile on your face than any other small SUV. It’s a car you can buy with your sensible hat on, too, thanks to its excellent real-world fuel economy, cleverly designed boot and attractive PCP costs. This is a highly competitive class, though: the Puma misses out on a fifth star because a few rivals are slightly more well rounded.
This 1.0-litre version of the ST is available exclusively with a Powershift seven-speed automatic gearbox. Producing 168bhp and 183lb ft of torque, this Puma ST takes 7.4sec to get from 0-62mph.
