The Ford Puma Gen-E, launched in December 2024, marks Ford’s bold move into the compact electric SUV market with a value-driven, urban-friendly vehicle. Featuring a 43.6 kWh usable battery, the Gen-E achieves a real-world range of 275 km, while delivering smooth performance via a 124 kW (169 PS) front-wheel-drive motor.
Its city efficiency shines brightest, reaching 415 km in mild urban conditions and around 270 km even in winter city driving. Thanks to its lightweight design and efficient battery usage at 159 Wh/km, the Puma Gen-E offers impressive everyday range at an entry-level price point of £29,995.
Charging is efficient as well: a 0–100% home charge takes 4h45m at 11 kW, and DC fast charging (10–80%) reaches 85 kW, restoring over 190 km of range in just 23 minutes. Though its 1.5/5 long-distance rating suggests it’s best for short and medium urban journeys, it still supports Plug & Charge (ISO 15118-2) and battery preconditioning via navigation for optimized stops.
The Gen-E offers 523 L of cargo space, 1283 L with the seats folded, and a 43 L frunk. With a max towing capacity of 750 kg, a top speed of 160 km/h, and acceleration from 0–100 km/h in 8.0 seconds, it maintains balanced performance for its class.
Built to be affordable, practical, and emission-free, the Ford Puma Gen-E delivers clean mobility for city commuters without sacrificing comfort or capability.
