Ford Puma electric | Puma Gen-E has landed!

[@crm114.]

I think if Ford can stick to a sensible price, it will sell well.

[@ISuperTed]

£29,995 in UK for the basic model. I think that’s too much for the range - it is competitive now but I expect this won’t come it until well into 2025. Needs to be £24,995.

[@oliverstemp9132]

@@ISuperTedI’m waiting for it to be about £25 😂. Have you actually seen how much the petrol Puma costs? The electric isn’t that expensive.

[@ISuperTed]

@@oliverstemp9132 Yes, all expensive really, but it needs to have at least 280 miles claimed range for £30k in todays market. With the battery it’s got, people will go with the Stellantis cars that are £5K cheaper or more.Saying that, given most are leased it will depend a lot of what the leasing rates are - they may be heavily discounted.

[@benjaminyork1648]

People get so angry in the comments, it’s an electric car. There’s plenty of other cars you people can pick from if you’re not a fan. I’ve got an EV and I absolutely LOVE it and wouldn’t change now.

[@robertlloyd7493]

Another interesting item 👍

[@mikeburke9635]

Good review. Love to see the test drive and your impressions.

[@chriswatson9700]

Ford might be onto a winner….IF the efficiency is there. Can see this playing well with families as a second car (cost dependent)

[@alanrutland4424]

It must be really tough for motor manufacturers at this time with governments forcing electric car sales and fines etc. I imagine that car prices are getting much higher than the actual production costs just so they can cover the expected fines. This is such a shame. How is it that governments can dictate this when it is people that buy the things and of they don’t want them manufacturer’s are penalised. What an odd world we live in. We have seen the problems with all manufacturers in the UK and on the continent and it must be so disheartening for them. The Chinese companies must be laughing their heads off over this downfall and filling the gaps regardless of any tariff increase as their costs and overheads must be so much lower. Furthermore, all these manufacturers have a huge range of cars to sell and support. A company, say like Tesla, sells 2 cars in the UK and a total of 4 worldwide. Can you imagine, if say Volkswagen, sold 4 types of car what they could achieve. Always enjoy your reviews Mark and brilliant that you get invited to all these launches.

[@paulcarey3878]

Nobby, another great review. Seems to be a nice car with good range, if it is accurate! Price is not bad but depends on what competitors like Kia will be charging. If it was under €30,000 they would have a winner.

[@stevejewiss532]

It won’t get anywhere near that range , do the figures , most EVs get around 3 miles per KWH and this thing does 130 miles ! Not so good now is it ! To get the figures Ford quote it would have to be as efficient as a Tesla , and that’s not going to happen with an ICE car converted to an EV !

[@NobbyOnCars]

Have you driven it? Or are you just going to comment endlessly on my video?

[@stevejewiss532]

@@NobbyOnCars Well I apologised , but it seems we’re only allowed to put positive comments on here . I have an EV and like I said I get angry with legacy carmakers giving people cars like this that only further anti EV feeling . Maybe I’m a cynic , and maybe you’re positive about everything . I’m sorry if I’m not allowed to comment so won’t be commenting on your videos again or subscribing . Shame because I do think you’re one of the better ones and I think you got my position wrong and where I’m coming from ! Wish you all the best which is more than I can say for Ford who aren’t long for this world anyway if this is all they’ve got !

[@ISuperTed]

@@stevejewiss532Which ‘most’ EV’s do 3 miles per kWh? Do tell. There may be a few, but most modern ones are way better than that. Even my lowly Peugeot e3208 does 4.2 in summer and 3.4 in winter without a heat pump.

[@mlann2333]

​@@stevejewiss532it's not what you're saying it's the tone that comes across badly I think. Let's all have a good day and be positive 🎉

[@Mancozeb100]

Liking the muck box in the Puma boot … but EV3 is gonna walk all over it… Puma battery way too small … they’re doing a Stellantis - well, if you want something physically smaller than a 5008. Fine for around town and short commutes - but if you’re into going on regular excursions, a bigger battery is the order of the day. Still think that the Hyundai/Kia 64kW is a kind of price-to-range sweet spot. Just been driving friends’ cars over the past week - a newish , runout model Fiesta, and an older (22years!) Ibiza. Both, perfectly lovely cars to drive, but the “balm of the calm” getting back into the Soul was just lovely … effortless. Or maybe, it’s that I’m getting too old 😂!!

[@IPC0101]

At last a smaller & hopefully affordable Ford EV

[@e-redj]

For that battery size and only having a peak charging power of 100 kWp, it seems to have a very flat charging curve achieving really good 78kW on average on an ideal 10 to 80% charging session. This means that a normal 10 to 80 session shouldn’t take more than 23 minutes, which is ok compared to other similar cars.

[@barbarabale8946]

Got an electric car and looking to change. My priorities go in the order of how much, /How far / and how fast will it charge. This one needs a bigger battery and faster charging.

[@mco6968]

Love it, but the Jeep avenger seems to have dropped prices and may actually be a better choice.

[@Greg-k4j]

It will be interesting to see how long Ford are willing to carry ev losses which are apparently fairly substantial on each vehicle..

[@Luke-PlanesTrainsDogsnCars]

With a growler on the front, and in profile it just looks like a mini E-PACE..opps did I say that?.😆

[@rochellerochelle1488]

It's electric, finally.

[@Tiger-m2q]

Good review. I've had many Fords over the years and the Puma is a great car. However the price is ambitious for a revamped ICE car up against serious competition. It's not too far off the price of the EV3 and even the Tesla Model 3....I think Ford may struggle unless lease costs are cheap. I hope it does well.

[@oliverstemp9132]

The Model 3 is 6-8 grand more expensive…

[@Tiger-m2q]

Actually it's not.....Model 3 is 37,484 and the Puma Premium with a spec approaching the 3 is 35,718. That's a difference of 1,766.

[@oliverstemp9132]

@@Tiger-m2q No. Keeping it base spec to base spec, which is as close to like for like as we can get, the price difference is £9,995.

[@paladin5163]

Does any car nowadays come with a spare wheel.

[@daz4240]

I have the Ford Puma Titanium 2021, the price puts me off but more important the miles not good enough. Ford need to do better.

[@paladin5163]

Its always going to be down to the price.

[@poormanstrackframe]

Why no driving test? 🥺

[@tombrady2194]

It's only a press launch, to let people know it's on the way.

[@poormanstrackframe]

@tombrady2194 yes I see, but I wish we had an earlier review, lots of people wonder Puma EV though🤫

[@PaulVickers-g3e]

Hi Nobby. I said it to friends etc that Ford have messed up. Too many electric cars not enough phev or petrol models. Only the kuga phev, diesel etc or the puma which my wife has her second gen one , as it’s a lovely car. The capri is ugly . I like the explorer we but no phev option. I think they have made a huge mistake getting rid of the bread and butter focus. Who has €40-50,000 to spend on a car? Hence the lay offs in Ford.

[@oliverstemp9132]

It’s not like the Focus was a high seller.

[@Watson1973]

Think I’ve been sick in my mouth That’s minging 😝

[@wayneheyes4934]

Should have just called it the Puma E not GEN E

[@oliverstemp9132]

Should be called the Ford Jennifer.

[@ISuperTed]

Ummmm….. that’s all I can say on this EV, it’s just meh all round and £30k in the UK for an entry level model with a real range of max 200 miles. Not good enough Ford, this looks like models that came out 3 years ago.

[@nikc1313]

I don't know what it is about the yellow ford are using for their review cars but it really does the design no favours. The Capri in particular just looked like a taxi from the future and this has the same vibes.

[@LegSpinna]

Manufacturers, more small cars like this. Less fugly, frumpy SUVs.

[@FugsterJ]

It's too expensive. I mightve considered renewing my pcp deal for a Fiesta EV from my current mk8.5 ST, but now I'm priced out of the market for £31K basic entry fugly ass Puma with less range and performance. What are you doing Ford??

[@emc2819]

234 mile range christ its worse than the crap iceman

[@menifo4334]

What a ridiculously silly looking car! The more I look at it the more cartoonish it looks. And this car is selling??? 😂😂

@@menifo4334 50,000 units last year in the UK alone

240 miles out of a 44kwh battery? That’s 5.45 miles per KWh! Don’t think so!

[@danezu791]

looks like a car made by Disney Studious🤦‍♂incompetence at top, they need to convince people who drive good looking conventional cars for this one?

[@limitedmark]

Another pointless small EV that the range sucks, if you look at the prices quoted , it is a joke . This is why the industry is in crisis

[@NobbyOnCars]

Not everyone wants to be lugging a 96kWh at the same time though…

[@maxnewts]

That’s actually just Ford’s own design, not VWs. They may have had a parts sharing thing with the sourcing of powertrain equipment and battery cells etc but other than that it’s all their own

[@stevejewiss532]

What gets me really angry is reviewers like you have given this Puma the thumbs up when you know it won’t get that range ! You’re feeding the anti EV agenda because you say this is great it’s range is ok bla blah blah and yet if you actually do the figures it would have to be more efficient than a Tesla to get that figure ! On your average 3 miles per KWH this thing will only do 130 miles ! 130 miles ! For 30 grand ! Please don’t keep giving the anti EV mob ammunition and stop supporting companies like Ford that really are fudging their figures ! I just why the feeling you’ve all been paid by Ford to say good things !

[@NobbyOnCars]

First of all, I haven’t been paid by anyone. I make revenue from KZbin, exclusively. Secondly, WLTP figures are quoted in a release of a car when I haven’t driven a vehicle yet. When I have, I will give real world consumption as I do in all of the videos that I have produced. Now, imagine I walked into YOUR place of work and SH*T all over your work in front of your superiors. That’s exactly what you’ve done in my video without any basis or proof of what you’ve spouted off on so forgive me if I have little time for mouthpieces like yourself. If you’re that bothered about anti EV people, you should get yourself a hobby. Have a GREAT day.

[@stevejewiss532]

@ Applogies but it’s really not difficult to work out the range , and as I said you should be taking people like Ford to task on this . The anti EV lot hang on everything to do with EVs and use it as a bat to hit them with and Ford are doing that no favours , they’re not even doing themselves favours because when someone goes into a Ford showroom or watches your video they’ll think great 234 miles I’ll have that , then it does 130 . I’ve watched all the Puma EV reviews and not one crriticises the small battery , I do apologise for taking it out on yours , yours was the last one I saw , but what Ford is doing does not help the EV side of things and I suppose I’m more angry with them , so again I apologise . By the way I think you do a great job your videos are some of the best . Maybe with the new Jag and this I lost the will to live a bit .
