Video Summary

Here is the summary of the YouTube video car review:

The video reviews the Ford Puma Gen-E, an all-electric Puma built on the platform of the ice car. It has sold around 100,000 models in the UK in 2023, 2024, and is doing well in 2025.

The car features a 43-kilowatt-hour usable battery. The real-world range is around 300 kilometers (200 miles), though official urban figures suggest a range of 500 kilometers. The urban range is still there on the fact sheets today

The official mixed driving figure is closer to reality at 340 kilometers, although even that may be optimistic.

One of the first production cars Ford ever made, the Puma Gen-E has white lettering on its name. It has an electric tailgate and a flexible parcel cover in its premium version.

There’s a 100-kilo-tolerant gig box with a drain in the boot, suitable for carrying a man, child, or dirty items and cleaning it later

With the gig box removed, the regular boot floor has a modular construction to enable height adjustment. It provides 574 liters of space, where you can fit two carry-on suitcases.

The interior includes 12- and 12.3-inch screens. The steering wheel is from a Transit and is sized in part to complement the screen. It also features a cigarette-lighter style volume knob

The car has front and rear seat USB-C charging pockets and offers a B&O sound system in the higher-spec version.

The car has a nearly $1400 surround vision package that provides three different camera angles with varying clarity

There is a lane-keeping system, heated windshield and steering wheel, and stop-start button in the car as well.

Because it’s not part of the VW group, it features physical Ford buttons, although it is made with cheaper-feeling materials. The test reviewer found the breaks felt comparable to an internal combustion car with no sponginess.

At 120 kilometers per hour, it burns about 15-kilowatt hours every 100 kilometers, and that’s close to Ford’s published mixed-use numbers

There is also a limited side-slip available because of the high tire squel.

Because there's just one L-mode available, the user can easily set that level of regen braking for more predictable downhill driving.

Although it’s based on an internal combustion car, Ford has fit a 40+ liter Frunk under the front hood, where the Type 2 cable goes.

Running for about 35,000 Euros, the car provides more rear-leg room, but has a smaller battery for shorter journeys

Ford has said it's designed to be a gender-neutral vehicle, appealing to both women and men.

There are no struts on the frunk's hood. The highest specs come with Matrix lights, making side lighting available with the headlight unit.

Ford's research suggests a concern from 12% is the difficulty of charging the car at home. For electric Ford customers, the company will pickup the out of range vehicle with a truck and bring to the charging point, at no charge.
