Ford updates Puma Gen-E for 2026
Although Ford has claimed the Gen-E will become ‘even better’, its announcement remains short on details. We know the battery has been redesigned, enabling an increased range from 376 to more than 400km, as well as what Ford claims is an urban driving range of over 550km.
However, Ford hasn’t specified what the changes to the battery are exactly, or what its future energy content will be – which currently sits at 43kWh. type. It therefore remains unclear whether other cells with a higher energy density will be used or whether the structure of the battery pack itself has been changed to accommodate more cells of the same type. With around seven percent more range, however, it stands to reason that the energy density of the cells plays an important role.
The other headline addition is, of course, Ford’s BlueCruise driver assistance system. This semi-autonomous driving software enables hands-free driving on designated ‘blue route’ highways, of which there are more than 135,000km across Europe. Ford has stated than three other new vehicles will also feature BlueCruise. Drivers must purchase the Driver Assistance Pack with their Puma Gen-E in order to obtain the system.
There’s no word yet on pricing or subscription options, only that the new Puma Gen-E will be available from Spring 2026. Further details are still to be confirmed, although Ford has said this will take place ‘closer to on-sale date’.
