Cargo Capacity: which has more space?
Standard and largest cargo capacity
Comparing 456 L (VDA) to 510 L (SAE) is difficult due to the differing measurement methods, but the 2024 Ford Puma’s seats up capacity is average for its size class. Comparing maximum cargo space is a challenge here as 2024 Ford Puma is measured at 1,216 L (VDA) while 2023 Hyundai Palisade uses the SAE standard. That said, the 2024 Ford Puma is way above average for the crossover segment.
