The Electric Ford Puma Gen-E is a compelling new entrant in the B-SUV segment, boasting modern features like infotainment and the SYNC 4 software.Its interior is both visually striking and remarkably spacious, offering a agreeable experiance. A charming detail is the “kitten” projection from the ornamental evening light,which also appears on the key fob.
The cabin’s material quality is on par with industry standards, with some premium touches. Key features include pleasant soft-touch plastics in prominent areas, a 12.8-inch information display, and a 12-inch central touchscreen with excellent resolution. The BO sound system’s speaker grille extends across the dashboard, enhancing the cabin’s aesthetic and providing a stylish daytime ambiance.
A double sunroof further contributes to the sense of spaciousness.However, the manual operation of the blinds is a minor point, though it does reduce potential electronic failures.
Despite its size, the Puma Gen-E offers a surprisingly generous 523-liter cargo space, complete with a large underfloor storage area. The charging cable doesn’t encroach on this space, as it has its own dedicated compartment. This 43-liter, waterproof front trunk is ideal for cables and essential safety equipment. Higher trim levels feature an electrically operated and lockable tailgate.
Competitive Pricing in a Crowded Market
The Electric Ford Puma Gen-E enters the market with a competitive starting price of HUF 11,980,000. This positions it favorably against rivals in the increasingly popular B-SUV category. The tested, higher-spec version is priced at HUF 13,740,000, which remains competitive when compared to similarly equipped vehicles. For instance, the Opel Mokka Electric and fiat 600e start at HUF 13,990,000, while the Peugeot E-2008 begins at HUF 14,270,000. Even the larger Hyundai Kona Electric is available for HUF 13,300,000, and the new Kia EV3 enters this price bracket from HUF 13,990,000.
This pricing strategy highlights the Puma Gen-E’s strong value proposition. It combines an attractive design, a modern and spacious interior, one of the largest trunks in its class, a capable powertrain, and favorable energy consumption. While the rear seat may require some compromise for adult passengers, the Puma Gen-E presents an ideal option for small families or as a second vehicle.For consumers who prioritize both emotional appeal and rational decision-making, the Puma Gen-E offers a sensible yet distinctive choice in the competitive electric vehicle market. Its design,pricing,and features suggest it could become a common sight on the roads.
