Cargo Capacity: which has more space?
Standard and largest cargo capacity
If boot space is a deal-breaker, the 2024 Ford Puma’s 172 L (VDA) lead with the seats up makes it the obvious winner in this comparison. The 2024 Ford Puma's 1,216 L (VDA) capacity with the seats down is way above average for its segment.
