Comparison: length Ford Puma vs. competitors 2024

The Ford Puma is a nameplate that has made quite the comeback, evolving from a compact sports coupe in the late '90s to a modern-day subcompact SUV. Initially introduced in 1997, the Ford Puma has undergone a metamorphosis, shedding its sporty skin for a more versatile and family-friendly look without losing its inherent appeal. These changes are nowhere more evident than in its size, specifically its length, which has grown substantially over the years.

Ford Puma - How has the length changed over the generations?

Let's wind the clock back to the original Puma, shall we? The first-generation Ford Puma, available from 1997 to 2001, had a length of 3984 mm. A nippy little number, it was all about speed and agility, rather than boot space. Fast forward to 2020, and the reborn Puma measures 4197 mm in length, an increase of around 5%. It also boasts a much larger trunk size with the rear seats folded, a significant change aimed at providing more practicality. Come 2024, the first facelift of the second generation brings it to a slightly shorter 4186 mm but retains the versatile boot capacity. It's clear that Ford has prioritized making the Puma a more spacious and family-friendly vehicle while keeping it compact enough for city driving.

The difference in length between first generation (I) from 1997 and last generation (Puma II (1. Facelift)) from 2024 is 20.2cm mm.
The length of the current generation of Puma is 4186 mm.

The length compared to other Ford models

In Ford's current line-up, the Puma slots right between the diminutive Ford Fiesta, at 4091 mm in length, and the peculiar Ford EcoSport, at 4096 mm. Compared to the Ford Transit Courier Kombi and its van sibling, both of which stretch to 4157 mm, the Puma still edges out as slightly longer. However, the Ford Puma ST, the spicier variant, measures a more substantial 4266 mm. As you climb the Ford length ladder, you'll bump into names like the Ford Focus and its various trims, all tipping the scales around 4382 mm to a hulking 4693 mm for the Focus Active Turnier. The Ford Mustang takes the glamour spot at an elongated 4789 mm. Essentially, if you're after something sporty yet practical, the Puma offers a happy middle ground within the Ford family.

How does the length of the Ford Puma compare to it's nearest competitors?

Now, how does the Puma stack up against its rivals? Take the Volvo XC40, for instance, measuring in at 4425 mm, a decent 5% longer than the Puma, with a wheelbase just shy of the Volvo's at 2702 mm. The Audi Q2 is slightly more compact at 4191 mm, almost neck-and-neck with the Puma. Then there's the Peugeot 807, an outlier with its people-moving credentials stretching to a colossal 4727 mm, dwarfing the Puma. Similarly, the Chevrolet Epica, at 4805 mm, moves into the saloon territory, clearly much longer than the Puma. And let’s not forget the BMW 3er-Reihe, which stands at 4471 mm, making it a step above the Puma length-wise. It’s a balancing act; the Puma isn't the longest in the room, but it doesn’t need to be. It strikes a fine equilibrium of urban practicality and interior spaciousness, making it an ideal candidate for enthusiasts and families alike.
