The Ford Kuga is available from 25,500 to 31,215 € €. Price, tab and the full range of equipment. It is available only with a turbo engine of 136 hp and two equipment levels: “Trend” and “Titanium”.

It is a car with good qualities and roadside dynamic enough to move beyond a sparsely complicated. Therefore, it is much closer to a good tour of an SUV. You do not have reductura, nor any type of aid for driving off-road, as a speed control for the decreases. For use by road is not as comfortable as a Toyota RAV4, but it has some reactions more agile.

The passenger compartment is large in height and width, but in the rear seats there is very little room for the legs of passengers. There are other models of similar size, which are better in this aspect, such as the RAV4, Volkswagen Tiguan or SEAT Altea Freetrack. The high driving position-it-sounds like an SUV.
The Kuga with equipment “Trend” can have traction Front (2WDA) or total switchable traction (4WD). The equipment “Titanium” is necessarily linked to total traction system.
The total represents an additional traction of € 3,350 in the version ‘Trend’. Equal as far as possible the equipment a “Trend” and a “Titanium”, both with traction Altogether, there are 1,050 € difference in favor of the first. The only thing you can not have the “Trend” is mixed upholstery fabric and skin that it comes with Ford in the series’ Titanium ‘.
The Kuga, as the Nissan Qashqai (the model more similar concept and other aspects) or Volkswagen Tiguan, is not intended to overcome obstacles complicated outside the asphalt.
In general, its features and price, Kuga is closer to models such as the Qashqai, Renault Koleos or the Toyota RAV4, which the Tiguan or the BMW X3, which are much more expensive (list sorted by price).

If we consider the Kuga at its option traction front, has a price similar to a Altea Freetrack 2.0 TDI 140 hp 2WD and is slightly more expensive than a Hyundai Tucson 2.0 CRDi 4×2 Full TGV Comfort, a Nissan Qashqai 4×2 2.0dCi accent or Renault Koleos Expression 2.0dCi 150cv 4×2 (ordered by list price)

The Kuga cheaper traction with the total comes at a price similar to a Toyota RAV4 D-4D Luna 136 hp, higher than that of a Nissan Qashqai 4×4 2.0dCi Visio and is cheaper than the Volkswagen Tiguan.

The interior looks fine. As in other models of Ford, the materials are correct and successful adjustments between pieces. The level of equipment with Kuga “Trend” is serial elements such as stability control, air conditioning, trip computer programmer and speed. In addition, some parts of the interior are painted blue or orange. The ‘Titanium’ has serial elements such as aluminum wheels, 17 “, dual zone climate control and partially seats upholstered in leather.

Some elements of optional equipment that may have are browser (two types), xenon headlamps, detector low tire pressure, connection ‘Bluetooth’ for the phone, USB connection, plug 230 V, assistant parking acoustic or a large panoramic roof (1050 mm x 785 mm) which can not be opened.

In other countries there is available a keyless entry system and a rear chamber to facilitate parking.

It measures 4,443 mm in length almost identical to a Volkswagen Tiguan. The width is 1,842 mm and height (including roof bars) 1,710 mm. The Kuga platform shared with two other models of Ford Focus and the C-Max, but their battle is 50 mm higher (2,690 mm) and width of 43 mm higher routes.

Despite the coincidence of dimensions with the Tiguan, Kuga is clearly less extensive. This deficiency is seen clearly in the rear seats where space for the legs is very small (of SUVs we have measured is the worst thing is this aspect). In addition, there is no system to improve the functionality, as a moveable sidewalk lengthwise or reclining backs. The height and width to the ceiling are correct.

The body has five doors. In all versions, the gate is divided into two parts; can be opened vertically (upwards) as a gate just normal or higher leaf (which includes luneta and part of the gate; comparative picture). The boot has 360 litres capacity, a volume enough to lead a normal amount of luggage. Under the floor of this there is another compartment for storing things, whose volume is 50 l.

The engine that has the Kuga is the 2.0 TDCi from 136 hp to assemble other models of Ford. With this engine spends 6.3 litres/100 km if you have traction front and 6.4 litres/100 km if you have traction total.

It has a six-speed manual while Ford plans to market the Kuga with the new automatic change called “Powershift” (Simi the DSG which has Volkswagen) at the end of the year. Since early 2009 there will be a Kuga gasoline, which has 2.5 l Focus ST, albeit with less power (200 hp), but is still undecided if sold in Spain.

The drive system not only brings the total capacity of more traction, but also intervenes to correct the trayectoría anticipation control of stability or acting together with him (video, 17 seconds). The Kuga traction with total weighs 1,613 kg, 40 more than the version with traction front.

The control functions include anti-overturn stability and stabilization of a trailer.

Ford had already anticipated this model in two prototypes, the Iosis X and Kuga (almost identical to the final model).
