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 entry-level engine in the Kuga is a 148bhp 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine. It’s not as quick as the hybrid or plug-in hybrid versions, but it should provide plenty of performance if you want to keep buying costs down.
