Are you Looking for a Young, Compact SUV and Have About Sixteen Thousand to Spend? The Choice is huge: Almost Every Car Brand Has One in its Range, and of Course, They All Enter the Used Car Market Over Time. From the extensive selection, we pick three representatives, each with their own approach. Will it be sporty, sober, or chic?
Of Course, an SUV Never Really Becomes Sporty, Unless It’s An Expendive Device. The Ford Puma isn, but it’s still fun to drive. If that sporty aspect isn’t so important, then the sober skoda kamiq is an option. Prefer something more unusual? How about a ds 3 crossback?
Ford Puma 1.0 EcoBoost 125 HP Hybrid Titanium – 2020 – 110.825 kilometers – € 15.995
Once, the puma was a chic coupé that – as special as a 1.7 – proved to be a delightful driving machine. Ford Dusted Off That Name And Stuck It On A Compact SUV That Has Been Available Since 2020 in Petrol/Hybrid and Now also Full Electric Versions. But Ford would’s be ford if there was a sporty edge to be found. We see this in, Among Other Things, This Ford Puma, Originating from the First Owner, which is at the brand dealer (Asking Price Includes A Year of Bovag Warranty). In Addition to a Blown One-Liter Engine, it also has a starter motor connected to the Engine via a belt, which, thanks to a 48-volt battery, can use the energy recovered duration to give the car an extra push.
It makes the puma nice and fast, and thanks to the direct steering, the tightly shifting six-speed gearbox, and the playful (but not hard) chassis, you feel more like you’re in a lively hatchback than in an suv. The Downside is that comfort Suffers Somewhat. That brings us to the interior. Everything looks nice and modern, and ergonomically there is Little Reason to complain.
The same applies to the equipment of this titanium version. From Automatically Folding Exterior Mirrors to Cruise Control and Climate Control, From A Navigation System to Heated Front Seats, And From Seat Massage via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Support to Lane Keeping Assist; This small Ford has it all. Logically (?) That there is then a relatively limited space Left for Passengers. An adult sits reasonbly well in the back at most on the rather short seat cushion, also because the luggage space of 456 liters is also decent. By the way, 80 liters of that is under the floor, because the where the so-called megabox is housed, intended for, for example, law rubber boots when you visit the unpaved road. But Don’t Go Too Far, because the J-460-KR is Just a Front-Wheel Drive.

Skoda Kamiq 1.0 TSI 110 HP Greentech Ambition – 2021 – 77,783 kilometers – € 15.950
If that sporty aspect isn’t so important to you and you’d rather have more interior space for the same money, then this skoda kamiq is waiting for its second boss in vlissingen at the brand dealer. The Compact Czech Has Never Brought The Success That Was Hoped for OR TAKEN INVANCE IN ADVANCE, Becoause It Offers More Interior Space Than Family Members Volkswagen T -Cross And Seat Arona, and Can Even Compete with Stablemate Octavia in The Back – A Strong Plus.
Well, The Rather Inconspicuous Appearance Will also Play a Part; A Captur Knows How to Reach the Consumer. Then a striking paint color has to do it, hence our attention to this ‘Titan Blue’ painted kamiq, which for about the same asking price is young than the puma and has driven ferwer kilometers, but also without stating a warranty. Just like in The Ford, a Blown Three-Cylinder Engine is Used (But Without Hybrid Support) That is Linked to a Manual Six-Speed Gearbox. Pleasant, because the combination with the DSG Gearbox is not the most refined. The Steering is Light, making the kamiq pleasant to handle, but it sacrifices little steering feel. The Chassis is based on comfort, but fortunately, it Doesn’t Roll over in corners. In fact: The Kamiq Remains fairly flat even when it gets a little harder in corners. With even more eager hope work, a slight but controllable form or understeer occurs. With 110 HP, This Kamiq is Adequately Motorized: ITS Performance is Comparable to That Of The Puma, but It is a lot more economical and has a highher Towing Capacity. The Ford then strikes back with its extensive equipment, because althegh the ambition sacrifices more than the entry-level Active, you Don’t experience a rich feeling. This is also due to the straightforward design of the predominantly dark, gloomy interior. Everything is where you expect it to be, but for frivolies, you have to look elseway. For example, below!

DS 3 Crossback PureTech 100 Business – 2019 – 79,637 kilometers – € 15,945
Yes, because we present you the 3 crossback from ds; A 3 standing a little higher on its legs and equipped with five doors, Whose F1 Shark Fin was allowed to remain as a design gimmick in the b-pillar. And that’s not the only striking thing, because while the kamiq exudes sobriety inside and out, the 3 crossback – Especiate inside – radiates extravagance and allure, making it (also) a competitor for the audi Q2 and mini counterman. As a ‘Photo Model’, we option for this ds 3 crossback, which is also at the brand dealer. Or this trio, it is the oldest occasion, yet two owners together not yet covered 80,000 kilometers with it. Legal Warranty is included in The Asking Price, A Year of Bovag Warranty Costs Extra. Always do that, because this occasion is equipped with the illustrious puretech machine.
Once we have absorbed the rather expressive exterior, it is time to step in through recessed by Handles that fold out. Inside we Find a True Cacophony of Lines, Shapes and – Definitely Beautiful – Materials, Where Sometimes Form Seems To Take Precedence About Function. In The Kamiq you start and drive away just like that, in the 3 crossback you have to learn all the functions (or eg the digital dashboard). The Armchair’s are Excellent, but the space in the back is clearly less generous, which also applies to the luggage space.
On the road, the 3 crossback shows a pleasant balance between comfort and dynamics. The Steering is Pleasantly Direct, but not nervous. Suspension and Damping Are Well Balanced, While the Driving Characteristics Do Not Cause Unpleasantness: When Corning Too Quickly, A Safe and Easy-to-Recover Understeer Occurs. That is Almost Puma Level, But with More Comfort. The 1.2-Three-Cylinder Engine Turns Out To Be A Quiet Travel Companion. In Terms of Equipment, there is little to complain about this business version: Both in Terms of Safety and Luxury, A Lot is present.

Three Very Different, Young Used SUVS or Compact Dimensions. Which one should it be?
This time, three occasions that are at the brand dealer and whose compact dimensions are almost the same, but otherwise have very different angles. The Kamiq is the most spacious, The Barest, and Endowed with the most sober nature. More Sparkling, because sportier is the Puma, which also sacrifices less space and more equipment. The same Largely applies to the 3 crossback, which a bonus drapes a premium sauce about it. You tell me, which one should it be?
