Ford PumaST-LINE 1.0 [125] PETROL MHEV MANUAL

The 2022 Ford Puma ST-Line MHEV is a compact crossover SUV that combines the dynamic driving experience Ford is known for with the practicality of a hybrid powertrain.

The Puma ST-Line MHEV is instantly recognizable due to its sporty design. It shares Ford's aggressive styling cues, with sharp lines, a wide grille, and athletic stance. The ST-Line trim adds a bit more flair, featuring 18-inch alloy wheels, a sportier body kit, LED headlamps and taillights, alongside subtle but sharp detailing around the bumpers, further enhance its sporty appeal.

Inside, the Puma ST-Line has a driver-centric cockpit with a good balance of style and functionality. It features sport seats with red stitching, a flat-bottom steering wheel, and aluminum pedals—giving it a sporty vibe that’s echoed in the cabin’s layout. The use of soft-touch materials throughout the cabin adds to the premium feel, although there are still some hard plastics in less visible areas.

The digital driver display and the 8-inch SYNC 3 infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work seamlessly, providing excellent connectivity and usability. Rear-seat space can be a little tight for taller passengers, but the overall cabin feels airy thanks to a well-designed layout and high roofline.

One of the standout features is the Megabox storage compartment under the boot floor, which adds an extra 80 liters of space, making the Puma more practical for its size.

The 2022 Ford Puma ST-Line MHEV features a 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine, paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system. It produces 125bhp and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, offering punchy acceleration for a car of its size. The hybrid system is designed to provide smoother acceleration by assisting the engine during start-stop city driving and providing extra torque when needed.

Performance-wise, the Puma ST-Line MHEV feels agile and responsive, especially in urban environments. It corners well with minimal body roll, thanks to its well-tuned suspension. The steering is precise, and the car feels nimble, which makes it engaging to drive, much like Ford’s famous hatchbacks. Fuel economy is also a strong point, with the mild-hybrid system helping to improve efficiency, especially in city traffic.

The Puma’s handling is one of its strong suits. The sports suspension included in the ST-Line trim is firm but still comfortable enough for daily driving. On twisty roads, it feels composed and confident, with plenty of grip. The manual transmission is slick, providing a more engaging driving experience, which is rare in this class of crossover.

The Puma ST-Line MHEV comes well-equipped with a range of safety and driver assistance technologies. Features like adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, and automatic emergency braking are all standard or available as options. It also offers Ford’s Co-Pilot360, which bundles many of these features together.
