New 2020 Ford Puma review - good enough to take on the Nissan Juke?

Ford Puma full review: aex.ae/2tQMbN0
SUBSCRIBE for more great car videos: aex.ae/2gY9ABE
There are few works of automotive design as sensitive to colour, light and angle as the new Ford Puma. A swoopy, wide-stanced urban crossover that sits on an extended Fiesta supermini platform, the Puma takes on the might of the Renault Captur and its ilk. In the right moment it can look truly sleek and lovely, but moments later - and from a minutely different angle - you’ll be reminded of nothing more than the shocked gawp of a freshly clubbed fish.
Divisive styling is no bad thing, though; many people consider the old Nissan Juke (which arguably started this big-selling small SUV class) nothing short of gargoyle-like, yet it’s been a perennial best-seller in the UK.

    Having sat in one at my local Ford, it's a good little car. I'm 6f4 but there is loads of space in the driver seat. Nothing behind that seat though as its right down and back. In the metal, I think it looks good. Just big enough to not be cute but not over sized. I am waiting for a test drive.

    @michaeldean7220 Жыл бұрын

    I've currently got a 2019 Ford Fiesta and the similarities of the interior would be an issue although the all digital display is one bonus. It's also definitely a mini SUV as the ride height is not that high. The standard equipment is not great and you need to go up the levels for all the safety stuff you get as standard on some rivals. Having said this if you effectively want a bigger version of a Fiesta and admittedly quite a nice body shape this might suit you.

    In Australia we only got the petrol version, no hybrid, diesel etc. Only automatic as more then 80% here drive automatics. I love my puma, nice car to drive around, full of tech. Review is dry as absolutely every review about the car, from classic puma that no one remembers and have nothing in common to the big box at the back. Price is pretty expensive in Australia, we have basic puma, st line and st line V. From 32.000 to 37.000 Australian dollars.

    This cars exterior is as dull as ditchwater, looking at it makes you feel 75 and sleepy. It's not bad, it's just ordinary, especially when compared to its competitors. It's interior is even duller, I really wanted to like It and was trying to convince myself until I sat in it. It's awful, I've seen the inside of an empty box that had more flair and charisma. Look at the interior of the Nissan Juke, Tekna plus for comparison, I know which car I'd rather sit in for 15,000 miles a year.
