Vehicle Description

Overview The STLine X is the top trim in the STLine family, blending sporty styling with premium comfort. It features the latest mildhybrid version of Ford's 1.0L EcoBoost engine and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic (Powershift) gearbox Engine & Performance Utilises the 1.0litre three-cylinder EcoBoost 123PS (or higher 153/155PS) mildhybrid petrol engine. The integrated 48V startergenerator boosts lowend torque and improves fuel economy . Typical outputs: ~153bhp and ~190Nm torque for the 155PS version062mph in ~8.7s; top speed ~124mph The automatic transmission is smooth but can feel slightly sluggish in response; sporty feel is better in the manual gearbox version Exterior & Design Sportstyled STLine X exterior with body kit, 18 alloy wheels, and subtle sporty cues Facelifted in 2024 with sleeker front grille, updated headlights, and refreshed bumpers for a modern look . Interior & Technology Redesigned cockpit with improved ergonomics: driverfacing dashboard, larger 1212.8 SYNC4 touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, B&O 10speaker sound system, and optional wireless phone charging (standard on STLine X) Physical climate controls removed climate functions moved into a lower touchscreen area, which may be less intuitive while driving . Sportsbolstered seats with red stitching, premium surfaces, and higher-quality finishes than lower trims, though some plastic touches still feel cheap . Driving Experience STLine X features retuned sports suspension; stiffer and broader shocks help better handling over the standard Puma suspension. Ride can feel firm, especially over 18 alloy rims Steering and chassis balance feel sharp and responsive. Despite a higher ride height than a Fiesta, handling remains engaging with good composure at speed The automatic gearbox is smooth but deliberate; enthusiasts might prefer the manual option for more direct engagement Practicality & Ownership Fivedoor hatchback layout with decent boot space, including the unique MegaBox under-floor storage (common to Puma range) Reliability: the EcoBoost petrol engine historically used a lubricationsensitive timing belt (wet belt) design. Most 2024 mild-hybrid EcoBoost engines now use a timing chain, eliminating the old wet belt issuestill, use of correct oil grades and regular oilfilter/strainer cleaning is recommended to avoid damage Owners on forums caution: Its still a belt if its the 1.0Fox engine. An updated belt and tensioner is supposed to be released Many ecoboost engines after 2020 were changed to chain driven. Pros & Cons Pros: High-spec visuals and comfort in STLine X trim Efficient mild-hybrid powertrain with strong mid-range punch Responsive chassis and engaging driving dynamics Advanced infotainment and premium Bang & Olufsen sound system Cons: Automatic Powershift gearbox can feel slow to respond Some cabin plastics remain less premium Ride firmness over 18 wheels may be harsh on uneven surfaces Slight rear-seat and visibility compromises due to design Summary Table Feature Details Engine & Transmission 1.0L EcoBoost mHEV, 153155PS, 7speed automatic Performance (155PS) ~062mph in 8.7s, top ~124mph Trim & Styling STLine X 18 alloys, sporty body kit, premium interior Tech & Infotainment SYNC4, 12.8 touchscreen, B&O audio, wireless charging Fuel Economy ~4750mpg combined, ~133g/km CO Ride & Handling Tuned sports suspension, firm yet composed handling Reliability Latest chaindriven engine; attention to proper oil use advised In Summary The 2024 Ford Puma STLine X 1.0L EcoBoost petrol automatic 5door is perfect if you're after a stylish compact crossover loaded with tech, a sporty ride, and the fuel-efficient benefits of a mild-hybrid powertrain.
