Review

The Ford Puma Gen-E electric SUV is competitively priced, good to drive and has a usefully large boot. However, there are rivals that offer more rear seat space, longer ranges and superior ride comfort – the Kia EV3 being one of them. If you are sold on the Gen-E, we recommend sticking with the entry-level Select version.

Our favourite engine. With 153bhp, it can hit 62mph from a standstill in just 8.7 seconds, making it as nippy as much pricier small SUVs, such as the Audi Q2 35 TFSI. Fuel economy is barely any worse than than entry-level 1.0 Ecoboost mHEV 125 – in our True MPG test it averaged 45.1mpg. However, it is a shame that you can no longer get this engine with a manual gearbox.
