The Ford Puma Gen-E is the new electric model from the brand, marking another step in its electrification strategy, following teasers and leaked images.
Developed independently by Ford, the Puma EV is based on the gasoline model’s platform, featuring a 165-horsepower electric motor, delivering 0-100 km/h acceleration in 8 seconds. The vehicle’s range is about 377 km, with a 43 kWh battery that can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 23 minutes using a 100 kW DC fast charger.
The design of the Puma Gen-E features modifications to improve aerodynamics, such as replacing the front grille with a closed version. The absence of a combustion engine and transmission allowed for an almost completely flat rear floor, increasing interior space, particularly in the back seat.
The trunk has also been enlarged, featuring the new Megabox (now called Gigabox), offering 574 liters of capacity, nearly the same as a Skoda Octavia.
Ford also focused on making the Puma EV more practical, with reduced weight due to the compact battery and the elimination of the exhaust system.
While the design is similar to the gasoline model, the Puma Gen-E comes with a 12-inch touchscreen and a digital dashboard, along with a new central console offering more storage options.
The model may also receive an ST version in the future if the initial launch proves successful.
