The Ford Kuga offers tidy handling, a spacious interior and plenty of standard kit, but iffy interior quality and a relatively small boot keep it from beating the best family SUVs. The full-hybrid version – our recommended model, along with ST-Line trim – provides smooth performance and competitive running costs.
A four-wheel-drive version of the FHEV hybrid is available. It produces a bit more power than the front-wheel-drive version (180bhp as opposed to 178bhp), so performance is a bit quicker (0-62mph takes 8.3sec rather than 9.1sec).
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we partnered with Autotrader to bring the biggest selection of discounted new cars available in the UK
