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.

ST-Line is a mid-level trim, and includes 18in alloys, automatic climate control, a 360-degree surround view camera, 12-way electrically adjustable front seats and a power tailgate. It also offers sharper styling, sports seats and a stiffer suspension set-up.

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.
