Doors, seats, weight, maneuverability
With 3 more door(s) than the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, the 2024 Ford Puma should be more practical for those wanting to carry passengers or luggage. Thanks to its extra seat, the 2024 Ford Puma is able to carry one additional passenger over the 2018 Jeep Wrangler. A minor 0.1 m in turning circle separates these two, meaning they handle tight car parks almost equally. We’re talking about a 485 kg weight shift, which places these two vehicles in completely different worlds of physics.
