The all new Ford Kuga is very well-equipped, competitively priced, has a good amount of space and offers Hybrid, petrol and a plug-in hybrid options, which makes the Ford Kuga one of the most rounded family SUVs on the market.
The previous generation Kuga wasn't much of a match for its more established rivals like the Volkswagen Tiguan, Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, however, the new Ford Kuga has been given a serious overhaul that makes it highly competitive.
The Ford Kuga initially launched with diesel, petrol, hybrid and plug-in hybrid engine versions, however, Ford has since dropped the diesel engine from the range, with the focus now on the hybrid options. This third-generation Kuga is also the first to offer a plug-in hybrid option with an electric-only range of up to 35 miles. While you can't ignore the extra weight of the big battery you need to lug around on longer journeys, which could impact fuel economy, for those who do regular short trips it could prove very economical choice.
There are four trims to pick from with Titanium entry level which offers a decent level of equipment but not much in the way of engine choice. ST-Line gives you the choice of all engines and adds loads of extra equipment, with ST-Line X adding a panoramic roof and heated seats front and rear.
The Ford Kuga is a big improvement over previous models and the value-for-money factor is there as long as you stick to the middle of the trim range. It’s comfortable, practical and full of kit.
The Ford Kuga has a RRP range of £32,095 to £42,455.
