Ford presented the Puma Gen-E, an electric version of its best-selling model in Europe. The car has been updated in design and tech. The Puma Gen-E offers up to 376 kilometres on a full charge, while in the city the claimed range is 523 kilometres. The exterior design echoes that of the petrol Puma, but with touches dedicated to the zero-emission model. These include the replacement of the grille with a solid element in the same colour as the bodywork, an idea inspired by the Mustag Mach-E.

The model has a sportier look at the rear, thanks to a more pronounced spoiler and dedicated alloy wheels. The designers worked hard on the interior where we find two high-definition displays for instrumentation and infotainment. The new raised centre console offers convenient storage space for personal items that would otherwise clutter pockets. The armrest slides to find the most comfortable position while travelling and also accommodates wireless phone charging.

Built at Ford’s Otosan assembly plant in Craiova, Romania, using electric propulsion units built at Ford’s Halewood plant in the UK, the Puma Gen-E represents another step forward in Ford’s launch of electric vehicles. The first deliveries of the Puma Gen-E will start in spring 2025.
