Model year update for electric SUV also includes fitment of Bluecruise semi-autonomous driving tech
Ford will update the Puma Gen-E for 2026 with an increase in electric range to more than 250 miles.
This bump in miles per change is thanks to the SUV’s 43kWh (usable) pack being modified in an effort to improve efficiency. The 2025 car offers up to 233 miles. Ford has not detailed the modifications.
Those extra miles also brings the Puma in range of its Peugeot e-2008 and Mini Aceman rivals, which both offer up to 252 miles from similar sized packs.
The Puma continues to offer peak charging speeds of up to 100kW which allows for a 10-80% top-up in 23 minutes.
The 2026 model Puma also introduces several new features, including Bluecruise, Ford’s semi-autonomous driving system that was previously only available on the Mustang Mach-E. The optional Driver Assistance Pack and a subscription will be required to use it.
Orders for the 2026 model year Puma are open now from £26,245. Deliveries are to begin in May.
Orders are open now because the allocation for the 2025 model year car has sold out. Ford claims this is down to the car being one of the only EVs to be eligible for the top £3750 discount for the UK’s Electric Car Grant (ECG). The on-sale price includes this discount.
The Puma, in both ICE and EV power guises, is currently the UK’s best selling car in 2025 with more 46,000 sales to date.
