The model

Read full 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.

The engine

See full engine specs

With 124bhp, the Ecoboost mHEV 125 can officially accelerate from 0-62mph in 9.8sec – far quicker than an entry-level Nissan Juke or Volkswagen T-Roc. It comes with a super-slick, six-speed manual gearbox as standard, or you have a smooth seven-speed automatic gearbox for a premium. Regardless of the gearbox, this engine pulls reasonably well from low revs, although the more powerful 1.0 Ecoboost mHEV 155 version is much faster.
