Ford Kuga launched with multiple power options ranging from hybrid to plug-in hybrid, diesel, and petrol. Kay Hart, the Ford Kuga CEO of Australia and New Zealand at the launching ceremony, said, “We’re satisfied to bring the earliest of our international electrified vehicles to Australian clients in the stylish and capable all-new Escape. Australians continue to embrace SUVs, which is why we are introducing our first plug-in hybrid powertrain with this vehicle.”

 

The Ford Kuga range has a lot of variants, comprising Kuga Titanium, Kuga ST‑Line, and Kuga Vignale, which offers numerous hybrid power options.

 

Ford Kuga Battery and Engine:

According to the researched statistics, the fuel consumption of Ford Kuga is estimated to be around 1.2 liters for 100 kilometers and 29 grams per kilometer of carbon dioxide emissions. The battery is recharged by means of a forward-facing fender-mounted charging port and is spontaneously refilled on the move using recreating charging technology that captures kinetic energy usually vanished during decelerating.

 

On the road, it’s attractive, entertaining, and very lively, with quick steering maintained by good chassis dynamics and collected suspension with an independent rear arrangement. Off the road, the bumpy 235 tires need to be acknowledged for providing brilliant grip in slippery circumstances, while the 192.9 mm ground sanction is above class standards and even above what some more serious off-roader cars or other SUVs offer.

 

It is expected that fully charging the battery from an external 230-volt power supply will take about four hours. Ford Kuga Ambiente and Ford Kuga Titanium also have their EV Auto mode – complementing petrol engine power with electric motor support using recollected energy for improved fuel efficiency. In Ford Kuga Diesel, the petrol engine is supplemented with the diesel engine. Under the bonnet of Ford Kuga, you will find a 2.5 liter Atkinson cycle petrol engine.

 

Ford Kuga Exterior:

Ford itself tells the clients about the best features of the car, i.e., predictive curvature light and sign-based light assists drivers see more visibly in the dim light. Head-up display equipment aids drivers to keep their eyes on the road in advance, and Active Park Assist 2 allows fully computerized parking maneuvers at the thrust of a button.

 

The new Kuga / Escape is 44 mm wider and 89 mm longer than the old model, while the wheelbase has increased by 20mm. Ford Titanium distinguishes itself with a trapezoidal grille and high-set headlights. Kuga Ambiente launched a considerable 81 mm added extra to the length for enhanced rear-seat space and cargo size.

 

Ford Kuga Interior:

Inside of the Ford Kuga has 43 mm additional shoulder room and 5 mm extra hip area in the front seats than the previous model, while back passengers profit from 20 mm extra shoulder room and 36 mm more hip area. The whole second row of seats can be displaced backward for up to 1035 mm back legroom or forwards to raise boot space by 67 liters. The company has added a diamond-type style to the doors in the Ford Kuga, but it’s pretty justly boring to sit in, and the stiff plastics on the door handles are a continuous reminder that this isn’t a premium car to have.

 

The front seats are very spacious and comfy, but at the back, there is sufficient space for two people to sit back on long drives while the third will have to be uncomfortable. The Kuga Titanium can start with keys in your pockets, and music lovers will appreciate the sound system advancement called the B&O system, which has ten speakers and a subwoofer for more rich bass.

 

Pros:

✓ Family Car

✓ Well-equipped

✓ Keyless entry and start

✓ Driver Impairment Monitor which offers an alert if the system senses the driver is dozy or unfocussed

✓ Steering is positive and precise

✓ Dual-zone climate control

✓ Nice seats

✓ Fuel-efficient petrol and diesel engine options

✓ Good legroom and headroom

✓ Airy Atmosphere

✓ The driving seat is placed high, giving you a perfectly clear view 

✓ Sliding into the seats seems very convenient

✓ Voice recognition

✓ Cruise control with brake function

✓ Central locking and a start/stop button

✓ Modern safety devices with nine airbags

✓ Five-star rating

 

Cons:

✓ Only two cup holders behind the gear lever and not much else

✓ Dash-mounted gear lever makes no additional room for smaller items such as a mobile phone

✓ It lacks rear-seat folding mechanism

✓ The Ford’s selected layout for the controls on the dashboards is confusing and complex

 

Final verdict:

The Ford Kuga costs a bit high, but it is worth it. Because of its better-quality sound system, bigger wheels, dual-zone weather control, and more exemplary seats, it would rate significantly more if added separately. Convenient features like keyless entry can also make an immense difference to the possession experience. One of the finest things in opting for the Kuga Ecoboost is the driving and control physiognomies, both on and off the road.
