Which Ford Puma Should I Lease?

The main decision is whether you want the conventional Puma 1.0 EcoBoost Hybrid mHEV or the fully electric Puma Gen-E.

Choose the petrol Puma if:

• You want a petrol powertrain with mild-hybrid assistance.

• You regularly make longer journeys and do not want to plan around charging.

• You prefer the familiar refuelling process of a petrol vehicle.

• The current petrol Puma specifications and equipment match your requirements.

Choose the Puma Gen-E if:

• You want a fully electric Ford Puma.

• Most of your driving can be covered by your available charging arrangements.

• You want the quiet operation and instant response of an electric powertrain.

• You want the additional storage flexibility provided by the Gen-E's GigaBox.

The best Puma therefore depends on how you drive, not simply which version has the lowest advertised rental.

Ford Puma Gen-E Leasing

The Ford Puma Gen-E is the fully electric version of the Puma.

It uses a 124kW electric motor and automatic transmission, with current Car Leasing listings including Select and Premium specifications and different equipment packages. The live Car Leasing inventory currently includes 43kWh and 47kWh-labelled Gen-E vehicles, so the exact battery designation shown on the vehicle listing should be checked before ordering.

Ford's published Gen-E information gives the electric Puma a WLTP range of up to approximately 234 miles, with 10–80% DC charging taking around 23 minutes under the stated charging conditions.

The Gen-E is particularly relevant if you want a compact family crossover with electric running and substantial luggage space.

Ford Puma Gen-E Range and Charging

The Puma Gen-E is designed primarily as a compact electric crossover rather than a large long-distance EV.

Ford quotes up to approximately 234 miles of WLTP range, although the exact official figure depends on the vehicle specification and test configuration.

Ford also states that the Puma Gen-E can charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 23 minutes when connected to a suitable rapid charger.

Actual range and charging performance can vary according to factors including:

• Driving speed

• Temperature

• Weather

• Driving style

• Vehicle load

• Wheel and tyre specification

• Charging conditions

If most of your journeys are local or regional and you have convenient home or workplace charging, the Gen-E can be a straightforward alternative to the petrol Puma.

Ford Puma Gen-E Select vs Premium

Current Car Leasing listings include both Select and Premium Puma Gen-E vehicles.

Select

Select is the entry specification currently represented in the Car Leasing Gen-E inventory.

Depending on the individual vehicle, equipment can include features such as:

• Digital instrument display

• Central touchscreen

• Wireless smartphone integration

• Parking sensors

• Lane assistance

• Cruise control

• Wireless phone charging

Premium

Premium adds higher-level equipment over the Select specification.

Depending on the individual vehicle, this can include features such as upgraded lighting, audio and convenience equipment.

Exact equipment varies by vehicle and option package, so the individual live listing should be checked rather than assuming every feature is included across the range.

Competitor coverage confirms Select and Premium as important Gen-E trim choices and highlights differences in equipment between them.

Ford Puma Gen-E Practicality

One of the Gen-E's strongest advantages is that its electric powertrain does not simply trade practicality for electrification.

Ford states that the Gen-E can provide up to 574 litres of luggage storage, including its GigaBox storage solution, together with a 43-litre front storage compartment.

That gives the Gen-E useful flexibility for:

• Family shopping

• Pushchairs

• Sports equipment

• Charging equipment

• Weekend luggage

• Everyday household items

The GigaBox is particularly useful for items that are awkward to store in a conventional boot.

Ford Puma Petrol Hybrid Leasing

The conventional Ford Puma remains available with a 1.0 EcoBoost Hybrid mHEV powertrain in the current Car Leasing inventory.

Current visible listings include automatic Titanium, ST-Line and ST-Line X specifications.

The mild-hybrid system uses electrical assistance and regenerative braking to support the petrol engine without requiring external charging.

This makes the petrol Puma a useful option if you want some electrification but do not want the charging requirements of a fully electric vehicle.

Exact engine output, trim equipment and transmission should be checked against the individual live vehicle because the Puma range has changed over time and older derivatives should not be assumed to remain available.

Ford Puma Automatic Leasing

Current Car Leasing listings include automatic Puma vehicles across both powertrain types.

The live inventory currently includes:

• 1.0 EcoBoost Hybrid mHEV automatic Puma models

• Electric Puma Gen-E automatic models

The Gen-E uses an automatic single-speed electric drivetrain, while the petrol Puma uses its specified automatic transmission.

Use the live vehicle selector to filter for the transmission and specification you want.

Ford Puma Performance and Driving

The Puma is designed as a compact crossover with a focus on everyday usability and responsive handling rather than outright performance.

The electric Puma Gen-E produces 168PS and accelerates from 0–62mph in approximately 8.0 seconds.

The petrol Puma's driving characteristics vary according to engine, transmission and trim.

Higher-specification Puma models can place greater emphasis on sporty styling and driving response, while lower specifications can be better suited to straightforward everyday use.

For leasing purposes, the important distinction is therefore not simply performance figures but whether the powertrain and specification suit the way you actually drive.

Ford Puma Technology

The Ford Puma combines a digital cockpit with connected infotainment and driver-assistance technology.

Depending on specification, current vehicles can include:

• Digital instrument display

• SYNC touchscreen infotainment

• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

• Wireless smartphone charging

• Navigation

• Parking sensors

• Rear-view camera

• Lane assistance

• Cruise control

• Connected services

The Gen-E also has a digital interior and connected technology, with Ford highlighting its 12.8-inch digital instrument display and 12.0-inch centre touchscreen in its product information.

Equipment varies by trim and option package, so check the individual vehicle listing for the exact specification.

Ford Puma Practicality

The Ford Puma is designed to combine compact exterior dimensions with useful luggage space.

The conventional Puma has a 456-litre loadspace, with additional storage provided by Ford's MegaBox.

That makes the Puma particularly useful for customers who need a compact vehicle but still regularly carry:

• Shopping

• Sports equipment

• Family equipment

• Work items

• Weekend luggage

The Puma Gen-E takes this approach further with its larger GigaBox storage arrangement and additional front storage. Ford quotes up to 574 litres for the Gen-E's total luggage capacity.

Ford Puma for Families

The Puma's compact crossover dimensions make it suitable for customers who want a manageable vehicle without moving to a larger SUV.

The strong luggage capacity is particularly useful for family life, while the elevated driving position gives the Puma the crossover character many customers are looking for.

The Gen-E adds the benefit of electric driving while retaining a practical five-seat layout and substantial luggage storage.

If you regularly carry a family and luggage but mostly drive shorter or medium-distance journeys, the Gen-E is worth comparing alongside the petrol Puma.

Ford Puma for Business Leasing

Business leasing is available on eligible Ford Puma vehicles.

The appropriate business rental depends on the individual vehicle, specification, contract length, initial rental and annual mileage.

For business users, the choice between the petrol Puma and Puma Gen-E should also take into account how the vehicle will be used, access to charging and the applicable company-car tax treatment.

Tax treatment changes over time, so current HMRC and tax information should be checked before making a business vehicle decision.

Why Lease a Ford Puma?

The Ford Puma gives leasing customers a choice between two fundamentally different powertrains without moving to a completely different model.

The petrol mild-hybrid Puma is suited to drivers who want familiar refuelling and mild-hybrid assistance.

The Puma Gen-E is suited to drivers who want a fully electric compact crossover with substantial luggage space and rapid charging capability.

Both versions retain the Puma's core appeal as a compact, practical crossover.

The key leasing decision is therefore:

Petrol mild-hybrid vs electric → specification → equipment → contract → mileage.

What's Included With a Ford Puma Lease?

The exact inclusions depend on the individual vehicle and lease agreement.

Typical lease inclusions may include:

• Road tax

• Free nationwide delivery

• Manufacturer warranty, subject to its terms

• An agreed annual mileage

• An agreed contract period

Maintenance is not automatically included and may be available as an optional addition on eligible agreements.

Always check the individual lease agreement for the exact inclusions.

Ford Puma Lease Terms and Mileage

The current Car Leasing selector provides:

• 18, 24, 36, 48 and 60-month contract options

• 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months' initial rental

• 5,000 to 30,000 annual mileage options

Not every combination is available for every Ford Puma vehicle.

Choose an annual mileage that reflects your expected use. Excess mileage charges may apply if the agreed mileage is exceeded.

The live selector should be used to confirm the available combination for the specific Puma you want to lease.

How Does Ford Puma Leasing Work?

Start by comparing the current Ford Puma vehicles in the live listings.

Decide whether the petrol mild-hybrid Puma or electric Puma Gen-E better matches your driving needs.

Then compare the available specification, equipment, contract length, initial rental and annual mileage.

The lease agreement will set out the initial rental, agreed monthly rental payments, contract period and agreed annual mileage.

Once the application and required checks are completed, the vehicle is supplied according to the agreed lease terms.

What Happens at the End of a Ford Puma Lease?

At the end of the lease agreement, the Ford Puma is normally returned in accordance with the terms of the contract.

The vehicle should meet the applicable fair wear and tear standards.

Additional charges may apply for excess mileage or damage outside acceptable wear and tear, depending on the agreement.
