Ford has officially unveiled the all-electric Puma Gen-E, bringing zero-emission driving to its best-selling model in Europe. The Puma Gen-E offers a range of advanced features and improvements, making it an appealing option for city dwellers and families seeking a stylish and efficient electric vehicle.
Key Highlights:
- Electric Range: Offers up to 376 km on a full charge, with a city range of up to 523 km.
- Fast Charging: Charges from 10% to 80% in approximately 23 minutes using a 100 kW DC fast charger.
- Expanded Storage: New GigaBox boosts storage capacity to 574 liters, along with a 43-liter frunk.
- Performance: Accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 8.0 seconds with improved steering response.
- Enhanced Technology: Features Ford’s latest SYNC 4 infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Alexa Built-in.
The Puma Gen-E reimagines the fun-to-drive character of the popular compact crossover, incorporating an all-electric powertrain for improved efficiency. With a consumption rate of 13.1 kWh/100 km, the Puma Gen-E is engineered to deliver both performance and practicality, particularly for longer journeys, while offering charge-free urban trips for days. A seamless 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.0 seconds ensures a sporty driving experience, in keeping with the Puma’s reputation.
For city dwellers and young families, the Puma Gen-E maximizes space efficiency thanks to its compact electric powertrain. Ford’s innovative GigaBox significantly expands the vehicle’s boot storage space, providing up to 574 liters of luggage capacity with the rear seats in place, surpassing the storage room of many larger SUVs. Additionally, a 43-liter frunk offers convenient storage for smaller items.
Externally, the Puma Gen-E retains the recognizable styling that has made the model popular but adds new aerodynamic elements. The front features a bold “shield” design, inspired by the Mustang Mach-E, replacing the traditional grille. Unique alloy wheels and a sporty rear spoiler not only enhance the vehicle’s aesthetic but also contribute to its enhanced aerodynamic performance.
Inside, the Puma Gen-E offers a modern, connected driving experience. Two high-definition display screens give drivers easy access to vital information. Ford’s SYNC 4 infotainment system integrates cloud-connected navigation, offering a tech edge over urban traffic. Additionally, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto enable seamless device connectivity, while Alexa Built-in provides voice control for various tasks. A wireless phone charging pad and a redesigned center console ensure practicality and convenience.
The Puma Gen-E also benefits from advanced driving aids. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Lane Centering technology, as well as Predictive Speed Assist, help the vehicle navigate curves, roundabouts, and highways with ease. A 360-degree surround-view camera provides a bird’s eye view for tight parking situations, making city driving more convenient.
Built at Ford Otosan’s facility in Craiova, Romania, using electric drive units from Halewood, UK, the Puma Gen-E symbolizes Ford’s progress toward an all-electric future. Available to order now, with deliveries starting in spring 2025, this model is part of Ford’s commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2035.
Ford’s ongoing European transformation is a pivotal part of its Ford+ strategy, combining the forces of Model e, Ford Pro, and Ford Blue business units to lead the way to a greener future. This includes designing bold EVs tailored for European drivers and providing services to foster connectivity, community growth, and thriving businesses.
