Next Generation Ford Puma EV Rendered With Bold New Design

Ford is preparing for a major shift in its European electric vehicle strategy, and the next generation Puma crossover could be one of the most interesting results. The company is planning to launch 2 electric models using a Renault platform, and one of them is expected to be a fully electric Puma built on shared technology. This move signals a deeper collaboration between Ford and Renault aimed at cutting development costs while accelerating electric vehicle rollouts.

Spy photos recently spotted on the road gave the DPCcars team enough visual clues to create detailed renderings that preview what this future Puma could look like. Since Ford has not revealed any official design details yet, the renderings take inspiration from Ford’s newest design language while adapting it to the proportions of the Renault based platform.

The front end borrows heavily from the latest Ford crossovers, especially the Chinese market Bronco that debuted earlier this year. The grille is wide and squared off, the lighting signature is bold and modern, and the overall stance feels more upright than the current Puma. Retractable door handles clean up the side profile, while a broken window line gives the crossover a more futuristic look. The side glass shape is unique, setting it apart from both the current Puma and Renault models.

At the rear, the design becomes even more distinctive. Large vertical taillights dominate the corners and are connected by a slim decorative strip featuring LED running lights. This layout mirrors the styling direction seen on the updated Ford Mondeo sedan, creating a strong brand connection across the lineup.

Underneath the skin, this next generation Puma is expected to ride on Renault’s AmpR Small platform. This architecture already underpins the Renault 4, Renault 5 electric vehicle, and the newly revealed Twingo electric. If Ford sticks closely to Renault’s hardware, buyers could see a choice of electric powertrains. The base version would use a single motor producing 122 horsepower and 225 newton meters of torque, while a higher output version could deliver 150 horsepower and 350 newton meters of torque.

Driving range figures are expected to match Renault’s offerings, with estimates of 305 kilometers for the standard model and up to 404 kilometers for the extended range version, measured on the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure cycle. These numbers would position the electric Puma as a practical urban and suburban crossover rather than a long distance cruiser.

Ford has not confirmed a launch date yet, but industry expectations point to a debut around 2028. If the final production model stays close to these renderings, the electric Puma could become one of Ford’s most important compact electric vehicles in Europe.
