Frequently asked questions
Is the Ford Puma Gen-E worth the extra £1,280 over the Citroën ë-C4?
The Ford Puma Gen-E costs £1,280 more than the Citroën ë-C4. For that premium it adds 37 miles more WLTP range, 186 litres more boot space and a 2.0s quicker 0-62mph time. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Ford Puma Gen-E comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Citroën ë-C4 or the Ford Puma Gen-E?
The Citroën ë-C4 is £1,280 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £144 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Citroën ë-C4 comes out roughly £1,160 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Citroën ë-C4 and Ford Puma Gen-E like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 161 miles for the Citroën ë-C4 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 Ford Puma Gen-E goes roughly 25 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 26-30 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Citroën ë-C4 or the Ford Puma Gen-E?
The two are within 5 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 600 mm of total clearance for the Citroën ë-C4 and about 595 mm of total clearance for the Ford Puma Gen-E. The Ford Puma Gen-E also turns in a 0.4 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Citroën ë-C4 or the Ford Puma Gen-E?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Citroën ë-C4 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.
