Find your perfect Kuga

Cars available now

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 – provides smooth performance and competitive running costs.

Active trim comes with a similar list of standard kit to ST-Line, but instead gets a more rugged appearance and raised suspension for better ground clearance. It’s slightly more expensive than ST-Line.

The hybrid version of the Kuga, called the FHEV, is our recommended engine option. It provides the best balance of performance and running costs, thanks to its nippy acceleration and ability to run on electric power at low speeds.
