2024 is set to welcome numerous innovative vehicles with futuristic designs and Ford isn’t for missing out on the action. Following the release of the Ford Mustang Mach-E in 2021 and the debut of the Ford E-Transit in Europe this year, Ford is soon to offer a nippy hatchback that is sure to take the market by storm. After allowing the updated Fiesta to receive some well-deserved glory in 2023, the all-electric Puma will hit the market in 2024 and is one of seven glorious vehicles that make up the American automotive brand's new ‘Model e’ electrification era.
Looking to compete with the Fiat 500 Electric and Vauxhall Corsa-E, the 2024 Ford Puma EV will showcase a petite hatchback that is speculated to offer impressive range and a smooth drive. Sure, the all-electric Puma won’t differ completely from previous models where design is concerned, retaining its beloved curvaceous body and sloping rear end. The 2024 Ford Puma EV is an exciting prospect that we can’t wait to see on our streets.
The 2024 Ford Puma EV Will Offer An Impressive Range
While Ford hasn’t released the specifics of the Puma EV’s drivetrain, it’s expected to house a battery pack able to reach up to 311 miles per charge. With such an impressive range, the new 2024 Ford Puma will be able to rival the likes of the Peugeot e-2008 and the Jeep Avenger EV when it comes to long-stance driving capabilities. Unlike many modern-day EVs, the new Ford Puma is likely to use a battery pack incorporating LFP cells rather than NMC cells.
The American giants have announced that towards the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024, they are hoping to utilize CATL-made LFP batteries with cell-to-pack technology. This is a great idea by Ford, as these iron-based cells last longer, are cheaper, and are safer.
Rather than using Volkswagen's MEB platform or Ford’s own architectural platform found on other Ford models, the Ford Puma will sit on Ford’s modified B-platform, currently used for combustion models. To complete the Ford Puma, many components will be taken from Ford's EV van lineup. While the 2024 Ford Puma’s range isn’t record-breaking, it's more than adequate and will certainly offer a smooth and quiet ride.
The 2024 Ford Puma EV Will Flaunt A Sleek, Futuristic Design
At a glance, the upcoming 2024 Ford Puma EV looks like a distant relative of its former self. Featuring a compact, petite hood, the all-electric Puma boasts elongated headlamps that stretch along the tops of the wheel arches. Similar to that of its cousin, the Mach-E, the 2024 Ford Puma EV flaunts a beefy grille, offering a heightened look that created a strong appearance.
Sleek curves and sharp lines make up the Puma’s overall build, with a bold sloping roof creating a coupe-esque feel. Large ‘Puma’ lettering stretches itself across the EV’s rear, with oval-shaped taillamps posing on either side. It's petite, pretty and modern. Able to rival the Kia EV6 and the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the 2024 Ford Puma EV is bold and attractive enough to compete with the best.
The 2024 Ford Puma EV Will Likely Hold A $37,000 Price Tag
Once inside the all-new Ford Puma, car enthusiasts will be astounded. As well as its sleek design and comfort elements, it will feature Ford's new SYNC 4A. This is Ford's cloud-based infotainment system. However, the Pumas' version of SYNC 4 is an upgraded version of the system found in the Mach E and F-150 Lightning. New features of the system include an adaptive dash card rather than the customary menu, which means that in the Ford Puma, passengers and drivers can easily navigate through customized menus based on recent use and personal preferences.
Not only does the Ford Puma's new SYNC 4A infotainment system provide ease, but it also has double the power and processing speed of the previous SYNC 4 system. If you’re worried about getting lost while driving, the all-new Ford Puma irradiates those worries with its advanced route planning for strengthened navigation. Not only this, but the 2024 Ford Puma also features more precise and human-like voice recognition, so precise that you’re able to have a full conversation with your 2024 Ford Puma EV.
Even though the 2024 Ford Puma EV’s price tag hasn’t yet been confirmed, due to its all-electric drivetrain, incredible finish, extraordinary design, and futuristic technologies, it’s expected to be slapped with a price tag in the region of $35,000 to $40,000, most likely around the $37,000 mark. This petite, compact crossover is the perfect addition for any all-electric-lover to roll into their garage.
