Which of these small SUVs would you choose: the forduk Puma or the new UKVolkswagen Taigo? 🤔
and a car that isn’t short on visual appeal of its own. The Puma does a fantastic job of juggling practicality, low running costs and superb driving manners in a relatively compact package, and it’s appearing here in our favoured ST-Line trim and with the least powerful engine available.
And sure enough, if you’re trying to get to 60mph as quickly as possible, the Puma is the one to go for. In our tests, it managed that benchmark sprint in 9.7sec, compared with the 11.1sec taken by the Taigo. The Puma’s engine also pulls harder from low revs, with its mild hybrid electrical assistance giving a helping hand.
If your priority is driving smoothly and efficiently, you’ll have no complaints at all. And while the Taigo’s gearchange isn’t as snickety or engaging as the Puma’s, it is light and easy to use, with a positive clutch pedal that makes it easy to judge the biting point when pulling away. The Puma’s stiffer set-up means you’re more aware of bumps as they pass beneath the car; you’ll be jostled around in your seat at all speeds. But these things are relative, and it’s not as if the Puma shakes you violently or thumps over potholes. It just feels sportier than the Taigo.
