Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Ford Puma Gen-E or the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer?
The Ford Puma Gen-E is £0 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 two land within £0 of each other - effectively the same to own. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Ford Puma Gen-E and Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 186 miles for the Ford Puma Gen-E and 229 miles for the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer goes roughly 43 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 26-26 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Ford Puma Gen-E or the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer?
The Ford Puma Gen-E is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 55 mm narrower than the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 595 mm of total clearance for the Ford Puma Gen-E and about 540 mm of total clearance for the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Ford Puma Gen-E or the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Ford Puma Gen-E and 84% for the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer. 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.
