"The Ford Kuga is practical, comfortable and easy to drive. It is a safe bet for the buyer after the space and high driving position of an SUV . "

the impact Ford Kuga is a midsize SUV that, with popular competitors like the Nissan Qashqai Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sportage competes. It melts car-like ride and handling with fuel-efficient engines, while still to have a secure sense of adventure.
With hard off-road styling, each Kuga apart from those of the smallest engine 1.5-liter gasoline can be operated to be ordered with all-wheel drive, although this adds to the purchase price and running costs. Although most owners of the Kuga to use moderate off-road capabilities are unlikely, a four-wheel-drive setup does not have practical advantages on rough or slippery surfaces and can be used in rural areas.
A prove useful 1,5-liter turbocharged EcoBoost petrol engine or 2.0-liter diesel engine for the Ford Kuga will be selected. The best of the petrol engines is the 148bhp version; it is only two-wheel drive is available, but at 45.6mpg, the fuel consumption is reasonable for a car of this size, with a good 0-62mph time of 9.7 seconds. The CO2 emissions are higher than for the diesel models, put the car holder in the £ 145 road tax.
The 178bhp petrol model comes with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive only. Its 0-62mph time of 10.1 seconds slower than the less powerful petrol because of the additional weight of the all-wheel drive system. The car maintains official economy of 38.2mpg, while road tax £ 210 will cost per year.
Our favorite of diesel engines, the 148bhp version, which is available in two or four wheel drive. Although the all-wheel drive variant only 178bhp is slightly faster, at 9.2 seconds 0-62mph do is the less powerful diesel when buying, tax and run, 60.1mpg in two-wheel drive form, compared to 53.4mpg return for more powerful engine. This makes it that for to go.
A 1.5-liter 118bhp diesel engine is expected to start in September 2016, 64.2mpg fuel consumption promising.

For a fairly bulky car is the Kuga very easy to drive to enjoy lean resistance and the suspension potholes and poor road conditions with the body in corners. The steering feels a little light, but the overall driving impression feels like a larger version of a normal gasoline engine. For such a high car, handles the Kuga competent and can be quite fun to drive. The ST-line version also offers sports suspension for better body control and steering, and it has been re-calibrated for increased feel.
Those who will be in seventh place have elsewhere looking for, but the Kuga seats four adults comfortably with room for a fifth, smaller passenger in the middle seat of the back three. The interior is spacious and the boat is wide, and worked with the rear seats in use and down, it has a long, wide load range with a practical flat floor.

the Kuga range has recently been extended trim to close the sporty ST line in order to bring a series of touches stylish exterior, including 18 or 19-inch alloy wheels. It is also a part-leather trim belong. The other five trim levels start extremely useful "Quickclear" heated windscreen with the relatively well-equipped Zetec, air conditioning, DAB radio, cruise control and Ford.
Next come the Titan, Titan Sports has, Titanium X and Titanium X Sport. Titan is our favorite trim level, as it updates the DAB stereo on an 8-inch touch-screen system with Ford SYNC2 Bluetooth connection technology with voice control. Partial leather seats and a rear center armrest are also available.
Titanium X created electrically operated front seats in full leather, a panoramic sunroof and xenon headlights. The Sport versions add mainly other styling tools, but also the Titanium X Sport brings top-of-the-range navigation and adds a 10-speaker Sony stereo with subwoofer.
After a shaky 110th-place in 2015, the Ford Kuga 45. Owner ended of 150 cars in our 2016 Driver Power satisfaction survey. Ride quality, one-way and in-car technology have been widely praised, are rated seating comfort, handling and practicality high, also. Reliability and operating costs have not been described in such glowing terms
Comfort is a confirmed Ford Kuga strength -. It deserves the full five-star in the independent Euro NCAP safety tests. All airbags and driver assistance programs are expected to include and additional systems such as Active City Stop, Blind Spot Assist, road sign recognition and Lane Keeping Assist are available as an option.
The Kuga for each is a strong package in the market for a practical, safe, family SUV with youthful good looks and a strong fun factor.
