Car Deal of the Day: Top-selling Ford Puma for a rock-bottom £166 a month
It’s been a while since the petrol Puma has been cheaper than its electric sister. It’s our Deal of the Day for 24 February.
- Engaging to drive; massive boot
- Great spec – ST-Line X model
- Only £165.72 a month
For the past six months, the cheapest leasing route into a brand-new Ford Puma was the electric version. It's easy to see why, because the Puma Gen-E was the first car to receive the full £3,750 Government Electric Car Grant, and leasing deals were crazily cheap. Now, the petrol model is back to being the most affordable way into Puma ownership, and it's our Deal of the Day.
Through the Auto Express Buy A Car service, Select Car Leasing is offering the UK's top-selling brand-new car for a whisker under £166 a month, representing tremendous value for money.
All that's needed to get this two-year deal up and running is a 12-month initial payment of £2,342.64. You might prefer the nine-month option, though, because this comes to £1,993.53, with the monthly payment only rising to £182.17.
Mileage is capped at 5,000 a year for the 12-month initial payment option, but raising this to 8,000 will only cost you an extra £14.46 a month.
What's great about this deal is that it's for the lofty ST-Line X model. This means that on top of the standard 12-inch touchscreen and heated windscreen, it gets a sporty bodykit, smart-looking 18-inch alloy wheels, sports suspension, and puddle lamps with a Puma logo projection.
Better still, there's a wireless charging pad, synthetic leather and suede seats, and a fantastic Bang & Olufsen stereo system, meaning this Puma has all the desirable luxury features thrown in.
Power comes from one of Ford's potent but frugal 1.0-litre, three-cylinder mild-hybrid EcoBoost petrol engines. With 123bhp, performance is sprightly for such a small car, and yet Ford claims fuel economy of nearly 50mpg on the combined cycle.
The fizzy engine is allied to a sharp chassis and accurate steering, making the Puma fun to drive on a country road. This deal also pairs the 1.0-litre unit with a dual-clutch automatic gearbox, potentially making this car ideal for town driving.
Not only is the interior well appointed, but it's roomy for a small car. Tall adults will have enough space to be comfortable in the back seats, while the Puma has a real advantage over rivals – and that's boot room. The clever MegaBox (underfloor storage) sees total boot space stand at a hugely impressive 456 litres.
