Ford Puma Gen-E review: The UK’s best-selling car goes electric

The Ford Puma Gen-E is an electric version of the UK’s best-selling car. Ford has done such an uncontroversial job of electrifying its chart-topping compact crossover that it’s almost safe to end the review right there. The Gen-E handles like a Puma. It mostly looks like a Puma. The interior is what you’d expect from an entry-level Ford. The price is right at £26,245. The capacious boot – including the ‘megabox’ as Ford calls it – is actually bigger than in the hybrid car, expanding into the space where the exhaust once lived.

There were countless ways to drop the ball here, and Ford has handily avoided most of them. Range is the only big concern.
