Innovations such as Ford’s Co-Pilot 360, featuring advanced safety systems, elevate the driving experience and provide additional peace of mind on the road.

The LBX features a comprehensive infotainment setup that integrates voice recognition and a premium audio system, ensuring passengers enjoy the ride in style.

Inside, the Ford Puma seats five occupants comfortably, providing a spacious cabin with a cargo capacity ranging from 456 to 523 liters, depending on the configuration. The emphasis is on practicality, with versatile seating and ample storage solutions, making it an ideal choice for families and city dwellers alike.

The trunk capacity of 332 liters may seem modest compared to the Puma, but the premium materials and craftsmanship inside elevate the overall experience. Lexus prioritizes comfort with ergonomically designed seats and a quiet cabin, ensuring a serene driving experience.
The decision between the Ford Puma and Lexus LBX ultimately depends on individual preferences and needs. If you value agility, versatility, and performance, the Puma is a formidable choice.
