The model
Read full Ford Kuga reviewThe 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 – provides smooth performance and competitive running costs.
The trim
See full equipmentIf you're in the market for a non-hybrid Kuga with a manual gearbox then we would recommend sticking with entry-level Titanium trim because it is so well equipped as standard. It includes a leather-trimmed steering wheel and gear lever, cruise control, 17in alloy wheels, privacy glass, front and rear parking sensors, a rear-view camera and a heated windscreen. A great choice if you want to keep costs down.
The engine
See full engine specsThe range-topping engine in the Kuga is the plug-in hybrid (PHEV). It’s the best engine option for company car drivers, thanks to its official electric-only range of 43 miles and subsequent low official CO2 emissions. Acceleration is the quickest in the line-up, with 0-62mph taking 7.3sec.
