The Ford Puma has slightly lower CO2 emissions (WLTP) range (118-149g/km) compared to the Kia XCeed (32-161g/km). Both vehicles offer similar tyre sizes and noise levels.

Conclusively, the Ford Puma offers a larger tank size and marginally better city consumption, but the Kia XCeed provides better consumption and ecology performance due to lower combined consumption and CO2 emissions ranges.

Weight/towing

The Ford Puma has a slight advantage in terms of empty weight (1280-1394kg) compared to the Kia XCeed (1347-1519kg). However, the Kia XCeed has a higher permissible total weight (1820-2030kg) compared to the Ford Puma (1760-1840kg).
