Electric Ford Puma Gen-E this year

The Ford Puma Gen-E is expected later in 2024 with a new design compared to the internal combustion engine (ICE) model.

The Puma Gen-E will sit at the bottom of Ford’s growing electric SUV range – which includes the Mustang Mach-E, the new VW ID.4-based Ford Explorer and the newly-revealed electric Ford Capri, says  United Kingdom-based Auto Express.

It says the Ford Puma Gen-E will square-off against the Volvo EX30, Jeep Avenger and Peugeot E-2008, as well as the Mini Aceman also launching in 2024.

Spy pictures indicate what Ford’s small electric SUV will look like – similar to the petrol Puma.

EV-specific features include a blanked-off front grille to improve aerodynamic efficiency and help with the Gen-E’s range, aero-optimised alloy wheels, a redesigned front bumper, and some ‘Gen-E’ badging.

The Puma Gen-E will use the same B2E architecture used by the petrol Puma and the latest Ford Transit Courier van – which will also soon be offered in all-electric guise as the E-Transit Courier, says Auto Express which expects the Puma EV to have similar powertrains.

More details are coming later this year.
