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 (2020-present) is a compelling family SUV, offering a practical, well-driving, and affordable alternative to rivals like the Peugeot 3008 and Kia Sportage. Building on its 2020 introduction and 2024 facelift, it provides ample space for families, with good headroom, legroom, and versatile sliding rear seats that adjust boot capacity between 412 and 553 litres. While some interior finishes could be plusher and certain practical features are optional, it delivers a solid package for daily family use.

Driving dynamics are a strong suit, with direct steering and a comfortable, controlled ride, making it an excellent long-distance cruiser. Engine options include efficient petrol, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid variants; the PHEV boasts a 37.2-42.8 mile electric-only range and impressive fuel economy. Many models fall below the £40,000 luxury car tax threshold, contributing to affordable running costs. The Kuga represents excellent value, blending SUV style with lower running costs and engaging performance.

Best for: Families needing a practical and roomy SUV, drivers who value engaging handling combined with comfort, and those seeking efficient hybrid or plug-in hybrid options, especially company car drivers.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising premium interior finishes, those who need maximum boot space with all practical features as standard, or drivers who prefer diesel engines (as they are no longer an option).


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Kuga if: You're looking for a roomy, fuel-efficient, and enjoyable-to-drive family SUV, particularly if considering the plug-in hybrid for its electric range and affordable running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You desire a more premium interior feel, need every practical feature included as standard, or prefer diesel engine options.

Competitive Position: The Ford Kuga stands as a solid, if often overlooked, contender in the competitive family SUV market. It delivers a strong combination of practicality, engaging driving dynamics, and efficient powertrains, particularly with its impressive plug-in hybrid. While it may not always be at the top of wish lists, its affordability, low running costs (especially for hybrids), and comfortable ride make it a highly sensible choice for families and commuters who value a well-rounded and capable vehicle.
