Frequently asked questions
Is the BMW iX2 worth the extra £11,820 over the Ford Puma Gen-E?
The BMW iX2 costs £11,820 more than the Ford Puma Gen-E. For that premium it adds 59 miles more WLTP range and 30 kW faster peak rapid charging. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the BMW iX2 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the BMW iX2 or the Ford Puma Gen-E?
The Ford Puma Gen-E is £11,820 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £136 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Ford Puma Gen-E comes out roughly £11,780 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the BMW iX2 and Ford Puma Gen-E like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 265 miles for the BMW iX2 and 186 miles for the Ford Puma Gen-E - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The BMW iX2 goes roughly 79 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 26-29 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the BMW iX2 or the Ford Puma Gen-E?
The Ford Puma Gen-E is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 40 mm narrower than the BMW iX2. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 595 mm of total clearance for the Ford Puma Gen-E and about 555 mm of total clearance for the BMW iX2. The Ford Puma Gen-E also turns in a 1.4 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the BMW iX2 or the Ford Puma Gen-E?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the BMW iX2 and 84% for the Ford Puma Gen-E. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
