Ford Kuga

The New Ford Kuga is longer, wider and has a bigger wheelbase than the car it replaces, this time around the Kuga leans heavily on the Ford Focus, both in looks and interior build, the same 8 inch touchscreen sits atop the dash and the boot is near class leading at 612 litres. Trim Lines available are ST Line Edition, ST Line X Edition and The ultra plush Vignale.

The 1.5 and 2.0 litre diesel engines have been removed, what remains is a manual gearbox only 1.5 litre petrol Ecoboost offering 148bhp and a claimed economy of 42.8 miles per gallon, a 2.5 litre hybrid (FHEV) paired to a 1.1kWh battery offering a combined power output of 187bhp and a claimed economy of 51.4 miles per gallon and the Plugin Hybrid (PHEV) which offers a 14.4 kWh battery tagged on to the 2.5 litre petrol which offers 222bhp and the ability to travel up to 37 miles on a full electric charge using only battery power.
