Ford Kuga cars for sale

Frequently asked questions about the Ford Kuga

• What is the Ford Kuga?
• Ford's Kuga is one of Europe’s best-selling medium-sized SUVs, and not without good reason. It sits above the EcoSport and Puma in the company’s SUV range and offers stylish good looks, keen driving dynamics and a range of trim levels and engine options to suit most tastes and budgets.
  
  Spring 2020 saw the arrival of this third-generation Kuga, which features an all-new, softer look. Volkswagen’s Tiguan, Skoda's Karoq and SEAT's Ateca are just three of its fiercest opponents, but the Kuga must also see off the likes of the Kia Sportage, Nissan Qashqai and Peugeot 3008.

• Which versions of the Ford Kuga are available?
• The Ford Kuga comes in one SUV bodystyle, but that’s not to say that the assemblage of trim levels won’t leave you scratching your head. There are five to choose from, including Zetec, Titanium, Vignale, ST-Line and ST-Line X. As we're not expecting a performance-focused Kuga ST, the ST-Line pair will be as sporty as this SUV gets.
  
  Engines have had a something of an expansion compared with the Mk2 Kuga: as well as the usual petrol and diesel choice, there's a diesel mild hybrid (mHEV) and a petrol-electric plug-in hybrid (PHEV). The latter will be joined later in 2020 by a non-plug-in version of the same system..

• Is the Ford Kuga good to drive?
• Few cars in this segment are as good to drive as the Ford Kuga, thanks mainly to communicative steering, bags of grip and willing turn-in. In fact, we’d go as far as to say that the Kuga is as pleasant to drive as some family hatchbacks, making it the default choice if you’re after keen dynamics. ST-Line models get sports suspension, while all-wheel-drive Kugas come with a lowered ride height.
  
  Don’t be in a hurry to opt for the more powerful hybrid model unless the tax advantage is a big factor for you, because the smooth mHEV diesel is a great all-rounder, while the six-speed manual gearbox feels solid and well-designed. It’s our pick of the range.

• Should I buy a Ford Kuga?
• Other SUVs are cheaper than the mid-range Kugas, while the.top-spec Vignale doesn't quite manage to feel special enough to justify its price tag compared with upmarket opposition. However, once the newness of the Mk3 Kuga dampens down securing a healthy discount shouldn't prove to tricky.
  
  Given how roomy it is and how engaging it is to drive, it's our pick in a very competitive mid-size SUV marketplace.
