Ford Puma Boot Size: 456 Litres (Including MegaBox) — The Crossover With a Hidden Compartment
The Ford Puma's boot is 456 litres total — but 80 of those litres live in the MegaBox underfloor compartment that can hold wet gear, wine bottles, or a small cooler. Full guide for rental travellers.
The Ford Puma (2020–present) is one of Europe's most popular crossovers and increasingly common in rental fleets. Its headline boot figure of 456L includes 80L in the MegaBox — a waterproof, drainable underfloor compartment that sits below the main load floor. Without the MegaBox, the standard boot area is approximately 376L at 60 cm internal height. Understanding which space is which is essential for packing efficiently.
Ford Puma Boot Dimensions (CEH/CEP, 2020–present)
| Measurement | Main Boot | MegaBox |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | ~376 litres | ~80 litres |
| Floor width | 104 cm | 55 cm |
| Depth | 67 cm | 45 cm |
| Height | 60 cm | ~34 cm |
| Aperture width | 100 cm | — |
| Aperture height | 75 cm | — |
The main boot at 60 cm internal height means medium check-in suitcases (66 cm) won't stand fully upright — they load flat or at a slight lean. The 75 cm aperture height is generous, allowing large bags to tilt in cleanly. The MegaBox dimensions (approximately 55×45×34 cm) are perfect for a 20L daypack, a waterproof jacket rolled up, or bottles of wine from a winery visit — and it can be hosed out.
Does Your Luggage Fit in a Ford Puma?
| Bag type | Fits? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cabin bag (56×36×23 cm) | ✅ Yes | Fits upright (36 cm height) in main boot. Alternatively goes in the MegaBox if small enough. |
| Medium check-in (66×46×26 cm) | ✅ Yes (flat or lean) | 66 cm exceeds 60 cm height — loads flat. Two fit side by side on the 104 cm wide floor. |
| Large check-in (76×51×28 cm) | ✅ Yes (flat) | Enters through 75 cm aperture on tilt. Loads flat inside. Fills most of the boot floor. |
| 2× medium + 1× cabin | ✅ Yes | Two mediums flat, cabin bag in MegaBox or on top. Solid couple combination. |
| MegaBox: what fits? | ✅ Daypack / bottles / wet gear | ~55×45×34 cm internal. Waterproof and drainable — ideal for items you want to keep separate from luggage. |
MegaBox: The Feature Most Rental Customers Never Use
The MegaBox is accessed by lifting the load floor panel — it's directly beneath the boot mat. On a rental car, it's frequently overlooked entirely. Use it for: muddy hiking boots after a trail, wet swimwear after a beach day, a portable cooler, or the travel toiletries bag you want accessible but out of the main luggage pile. It drains through a small plug at the bottom, so liquid spills aren't a problem.
Puma vs. Rivals
The Puma's 376L main boot is smaller than the Skoda Karoq (521L) and Renault Captur (536L), but those cars don't have a 80L bonus waterproof compartment. For couples or solo travellers who pack smart and separate wet/dry gear, the Puma is arguably more useful than a larger boot SUV. For families needing raw volume, choose the Karoq or a mid-size SUV.
