The Ford Kuga is a strong contender in the family SUV class. It offers tidy handling, a spacious interior and plenty of standard kit, plus the hybrid (FHEV) version – our recommended engine – provides smooth performance and competitive running costs. Shortcomings include iffy interior quality and a relatively small boot.

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.
