The new Ford Puma Gen-E is slightly different from the Ford Puma hybrid. Instead of the usual grille, the electric vehicle has a new front grille in the style of the Ford Mustang Mach-E. The Gen-E line consists of a basic configuration with 17-inch wheels and a Premium version with 18-inch wheels. LED headlights are standard equipment, while the top version has matrix headlights and a double sunroof.
