The Ford Puma Goes Electric in 2024

The charming urban SUV Ford Puma will benefit from an electric motor starting next year in addition to its internal combustion offerings.

Revived in 2019, the Ford Puma has successfully entered the city SUV market. Competing with the Peugeot 2008 and other Volkswagen T-Cross models, it has won over customers with its truly stylish look and top-notch versatility. Technically speaking, it is one of the few models on sale available with a standard Bioethanol E85-compatible engine. This allows for significant savings at the pump while also being better for the environment.

However, unlike the Peugeot e-2008, which has been electric for some time, the Ford Puma was still lagging in this area. That gap will soon be filled with the arrival of a facelifted version of the Ford Puma in 2024. To stand out, it will feature a new lighting signature, a full grille, and new wheels… all aimed at enhancing aerodynamics and therefore efficiency. Inside, the Ford Puma electric will have a more ambitious multimedia screen, more in line with what competitors offer.

A Classic Power in the Segment

Now that the introductions are out of the way, let’s move on to the technical specifications. We recently discussed the Ford Transit Courier. The Ford Puma EV will share most of its mechanical components, including a 136 hp electric motor likely paired with a 55 kWh battery, enabling it to reach approximately 370 km of range according to WLTP standards.

Regarding charging, a capacity of 100 kW DC is expected. It is estimated that it will take about 35 minutes to recover 70% of the battery.

While no price has been officially announced yet, it’s highly likely that the Ford Puma electric could become Ford’s best-selling model, especially since the Fiesta is no longer available.
