2023 Honda CR‑V vs 2024 Ford Puma
Which is bigger, the 2023 Honda CR‑V or 2024 Ford Puma?
Key dimensions: length, width, height
The 2023 Honda CR‑V offers a massive 50.8 cm of extra length, which changes the silhouette and stance compared to the 2024 Ford Puma. At 6.2 cm wider, the 2023 Honda CR‑V occupies a bit more of the lane than the 2024 Ford Puma, giving it more road presence. The 2023 Honda CR‑V utilises its extra 13.1 cm of height to maximise cabin volume, making it feel larger inside than the 2024 Ford Puma. The 3.5 cm increase in ground clearance from the 2023 Honda CR‑V is just enough to make a positive difference on a gravel driveway vs the 2024 Ford Puma. The 2023 Honda CR‑V has a 11.2 cm longer wheelbase, which often translates to extra "stretch-out" room in the back.

Cargo Capacity: which has more space?
Standard and largest cargo capacity
These two cars follow different measurement methods: VDA for the 2024 Ford Puma and SAE for the 2023 Honda CR‑V, so instead of a direct cargo space comparison, segment averages are the best way to gauge their relative utility. The 2024 Ford Puma’s 456 L capacity with seats up is average for its class, and the 2023 Honda CR‑V’s 1,113 L capacity is way above average for its class. The 2024 Ford Puma uses the VDA cargo capacity measurement method, making its maximum 1,216 L capacity way above average when compared to the average crossover. The 2023 Honda CR‑V uses the SAE cargo capacity measurement method, its 2,166 L capacity is way above average when compared to the average crossover.

Details
Doors, seats, weight, maneuverability
Door count is consistent across the two models, with both the 2024 Ford Puma and 2023 Honda CR‑V featuring 5 doors. Both the 2024 Ford Puma and the 2023 Honda CR‑V offer seating for 5, meaning they are equally capable when it comes to carrying passengers. Expect to put in a little more work in the 2023 Honda CR‑V during tight turns, given its 0.97 m wider radius. A 258.9 kg gap in curb weight is considerable, with the 2023 Honda CR‑V likely to feel more substantial to drive than the 2024 Ford Puma, especially under braking and when changing direction.

Parking
Will the 2023 Honda CR‑V or 2024 Ford Puma fit in a standard parking space?
2023 Honda CR‑V parking fit score
DriveSize compares the car's width and length with typical parking-space sizes by region.
Vehicle dimensions are rounded up and available side or length clearance is rounded down.
Side clearance is based on body width excluding mirrors where available; real spaces can vary because of mirrors, walls, pillars, kerbs, bay markings, and nearby cars.
For an average USA / Canada space: body side clearance is 44 cm per side (excluding mirrors), and length clearance is 40 cm at each end.
