Ford Kuga (2020-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Enjoyable to drive	The cabin feels a bit low-rent in places
Roomy and practical interior	Some rivals have more luggage space
Plug-in hybrid will appeal to company car drivers	It's hard to apply the plug-in hybrid's brakes smoothly

Quick Summary

The Ford Kuga is a family SUV that competes with models like the Peugeot 3008, Kia Sportage, and Hyundai Tucson. It aims to blend SUV style and practicality with lower running costs and ease of use, building on Ford's reputation for making great-driving cars. The current generation, particularly after its 2024 facelift, offers significant improvements in technology and efficiency. It's practical, drives well, and is affordable to buy and own.

The Kuga provides ample space for a family, with a sliding rear bench that allows for flexible boot capacity (412-553 litres, up to 1,534 litres with seats folded). Driving dynamics are a strong point, offering a comfortable ride and engaging handling. Engine options include petrol, petrol hybrid, and a plug-in hybrid with an impressive 37.2-42.8 miles electric range. Running costs are generally affordable, and the mid-range ST-Line is considered a sweet spot, especially the hybrid variant which offers improved economy and performance.

Best for: Drivers seeking a roomy, fuel-efficient, and enjoyable-to-drive family SUV, especially those interested in a plug-in hybrid with a good electric range, and buyers looking for an affordable option below the £40,000 VED threshold.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising a luxurious cabin finish, maximum standard features without extra cost, or those who need the absolute largest boot space in the segment.

Competitive Position: The Ford Kuga is a strong contender in the crowded family SUV market, offering a compelling blend of practicality, enjoyable driving dynamics, and fuel efficiency, particularly with its impressive plug-in hybrid option.
