Having once again retained its crown as Britain’s best-selling car in 2025, the Ford Puma has the receipts to back up its popularity.
2025 therefore seemed like perfect timing to introduce an electric version in the form of the Ford Puma Gen-E - with 2026 seeing the model further enhanced. But does it live up to the impressive reputation built by both its predecessor and petrol and diesel equivalents?
What is in the Ford Puma Gen-E review?
In this Ford Puma Gen-E review, we look to answer this question by covering all the information you need to know, such as the car’s exterior and interior design, practicality, and on-road performance.

What should you know about the Ford Puma Gen-E?
Before we delve into the nitty gritty, we’ve included the top-level information you should know about the Ford Puma Gen-E SUV. This is a great starting point to understand its unique quirks, trim levels, and the all-important price range.
What is new with the 2026 Ford Puma Gen-E?
The 2026 Ford Puma Gen-E is an updated version of its 2025 predecessor. While most elements remain the same, there are several significant upgrades that make this car even more desirable.
#1: More efficient battery and range
One of the most important differences here is the efficiency of the new Gen-E’s battery. Its design is far more efficient, which has contributed towards gross battery usable energy of 46-47 kWh and an official Ford Puma Gen-E range of up to 259 miles – beating the 2025 model by 3-4kWh and 26 miles respectively.
#2: State-of-the-art hands-free driver assistance
The 2026 Gen-E also introduces some truly great tech to the model. The star of the show is Ford’s optional ‘BlueCruise’ feature, which is a hands-free driver assistance system that supports motorway driving by combining driver-assistance features such as:
- Adaptive cruise control
- Lane centering
- Traffic monitoring
Rather than replace the driver altogether, these features essentially work together to ensure that the car drives itself within a motorway lane, enhancing the motorway driving experience.
#3: An infotainment system with 'Premium Connectivity'
The infotainment system has also been taken to the next level by providing 'Premium Connectivity'. With this feature, you can now stream apps, games, and karaoke features directly to the infotainment system – without the need to rely on your phone!
And if this wasn’t enough, 'Premium Connectivity' also enables 'Connected Navigation' which uses cloud data rather than onboard maps. This makes your driving experience far more interactive as you are consistently provided with real-time traffic updates.
#4: New fresh Ford Puma Gen-E colours to choose from
Finally, the 2026 update has seen the welcome addition of two new colours: ‘Cactus Grey’ and ‘Vapor Blue’ (the latter only being available with BlueCruise Edition). Both colours look striking, but if you really want to stand out from the crowd, investing in the ‘Vapor Blue’ option would be money well spent!
Our table below outlines the key differences:
| Feature | 2025 Ford Puma Gen-E | 2026 Ford Puma Gen-E |
|---|---|---|
| Range | Up to 233 miles | Up to 259 miles |
| Battery | 43 kWh usable | 46–47 kWh usable |
| BlueCruise hands-free | Not available | Available |
| Infotainment | Standard SYNC features | Premium Connectivity and cloud navigation |
| Exterior updates | Original colours | Additional ‘Cactus Grey’ and ‘Vapor Blue’ options |
What Ford Puma Gen-E trim levels are available?
The 2026 Ford Puma Gen-E is available in three trim levels: Select, Premium, and BlueCruise Edition.
Although all three trim levels are popular choices, it’s important to be fully aware that each option provides differing levels of tech and features that range in luxury. Below, we summarise each trim level:
- Select - The entry-level trim that provides basic motoring requirements and tech. Although entry-level, it is still well-equipped and provides great value.
- Premium – The direct upgrade that offers more luxury finishes and features, providing an enhanced motoring experience.
- BlueCruise Edition - The limited-edition trim level that focuses on providing advanced driver assistance functionality in addition to other exclusive features.

Does the Ford Puma Gen-E meet expectation?
We delved into the four cornerstones of the Ford Puma Gen-E to determine whether it would meet the expectations of potential buyers. These consist of driving performance, interior, exterior, and practicality.
A surprisingly fun all-electric SUV to drive
The combination of the Gen-E’s light weight and smooth steering make for a surprisingly fun driving experience – which is ideal for twisty country roads!
This car isn’t all about its light handling, however. Although the numbers suggest a performance of 0-62 in 8 seconds, it feels quicker when you’re behind the wheel. The acceleration is smooth, but there’s certainly enough ‘oomph’ to make overtaking a breeze, while avoiding any jerkiness when travelling at low speeds.
And speaking of breeze, the cabin remains quiet even when travelling on the motorway, ensuring a comfortable driving experience even at high speeds.
Adds finishing touches to an already striking appearance
Simply put, the Ford Puma Gen-E is a handsome looking small SUV.
And that’s just as well, as Ford seem to have taken a ‘if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it' approach. There’s little aesthetic difference between the 2026 and 2025 Gen-E’s – or with their petrol and diesel equivalents for that matter!
The Gen-E does have its own quirks though, that do work effectively. The main difference in style is the blanked off grille that provides a sporty aesthetic. In addition, the exclusive colours of ‘Electric Yellow’ and ‘Digital Aqua Blue’ really complement the EV theme. And if you opt for the ‘BlueCruise Edition’ trim, you can really stand out from the crowd with its exclusive ‘Vapour Blue’ body and black roof and mirror cap combination.
A stylish and comfortable interior that enhances the cabin experience
Like the exterior, the Ford Puma Gen-E interior continues to adopt a winning formula.
An instant highlight are the thick sport seats that ensure a luxury experience for both the driver and passengers, while feeling premium to the touch. For the driver, the large steering wheel and high-set centre console ensure that comfort is all but guaranteed.
The centrepiece of the cabin is based around a large 12.0-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 10.0-inch digital gauge cluster. This combination is a feast for the eyes, while the former’s clarity and responsiveness make it a joy to use.
The main difference between the Gen-E and its petrol and diesel equivalents however is the centre console. This has been cleverly redesigned to allow the drive selector to move up to the steering column, replacing its initial location with handy storage cubbies and cup holders.
An SUV with practicality at its core
Although the Ford Puma Gen-E is undoubtedly a fun option, there is no trade off with practicality as there is plenty of substance here.
One key takeaway is this car’s spaciousness. The Ford Puma Gen-E boot space is quite simply massive. Clocking in at an impressive 523 litres – supported by the underfloor Gigabox storage compartment – it is arguably the largest out of any small electric SUV.
This theme continues where the seats are situated as there is plenty of leg and headroom in both the front and the back of the car. So, whether you’re commuting to work or making the trip to a family getaway, you can be sure that everyone will experience a comfortable journey.
The Puma Gen-E is also very practical on charge. Although it has a modest battery size, the official Ford Puma Gen-E range of up to 259 miles is very efficient, especially around town. And with a maximum charge rate of 100kW, a 10-80% top up is possible in a mere 23 minutes.
Our verdict: Arguably one of the best small all-electric SUVs on the market
It makes perfect sense as to why the Ford Puma continues to be the best selling small SUV on the market; Fun to drive, aesthetically pleasing, boasts plenty of room, and is cheap to run. And by applying its own unique angle to this already successful blueprint, the Gen-E looks like a very appealing all-electric SUV option.
There really isn’t much to dislike – at any trim level.
Regardless of your lifestyle, if you’re in the market for an all-electric SUV, the Ford Puma Gen-E would prove to be a wise investment at an affordable price!
