New Car

Buying

Ford Kuga

On sale November, price £ 25 ,0 00 (est)

Ford’s changes to its European business plan puts

SUVs at the core of its model line-up – with the

Kuga expected to be one of the most popular and

profitable. The third generation takes a departure

from the old car in terms of styling, taking

inspiration from the new Focus, while ramping

up interior quality, space and technology.

A hybrid option will be available for the first

time, too, alongside a familiar array of petrol

and diesel engines.
