    When you said they got the pricing right I couldn’t imagine you were going to say a number above £25K. For this rehash of an old design that never seemed all that interesting even when it was launched. The Explorer now looks better value.

      Even the petrol powered Puma is over £25,000, it starts at £26,350.

      Being a Ford, it’ll likely be discounted from the £29,995 starting price anyway. I means ever really paid full price for a Ford?

    Seems like they’ve made some good compromises here. 10-80% in 23 minutes with 233 mile/375km range actually makes it pretty decent on longer trips as well without breaking the bank. Good storage, good enough space and a design that is, while a bit boring, inoffensive and modern enough.

    Yeah, probably going to sell decently well. Much better than the Explorer or Capri!

    After many disappointments from Ford over the last few years, I was expecting another when this released. And I am again.
    That grille didn’t look good on the Mach-E, doesn’t here either.
    The battery? looks to be protruding out of the bottom of the car.
    Too expensive. Although I expected this as the ICE Puma is over £26k.

      Yep, I would rather get a used Ioniq 5 with a bigger battery (more range), faster charging and V2L. I can not understand why the can not do a smaller EV with a 64kwh battery with at least 150kw DC charging.

    44kWh is a bit disappointing. The Kona was launched in 2018 with 64kWhs and a genuine 300 miles in good conditions.
    The 233 miles quoted, seems quite optimistic.

      You’d think as a smaller car it would get more range out of a smaller battery. Either this car is morbidly overweight for its size or the efficiency is in the gutter.

    I’m not surprised to see that Ford are moaning that not enough people are buying EVs, but it’s their own fault! People ARE buying EVs, but not Fords because they’ve been way too slow to bring them to the market. They’ve been napping while the Chinese car makers have made great leaps and now Ford are complaining. Stop whinging and bring us some decent mass market EVs at sensible prices and we’ll buy them!
