Ford Kuga (2020-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons

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 practical and engaging family SUV that combines genuine driving enjoyment with everyday usability. The current generation, launched in 2020 and refreshed in 2024, finally delivers a machine that competes effectively with class leaders. It offers a commanding driving position, excellent headroom and legroom, and flexible boot space ranging from 412 to 553 litres, expanding to 1,534 litres with rear seats folded. The latest SYNC 4 infotainment system features 5G connectivity, cloud navigation, and wireless smartphone integration as standard.

The Kuga's powertrain options include a turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol, a conventional hybrid with a 2.5-litre engine, and a plug-in hybrid offering 37-43 miles of electric-only range. The plug-in hybrid is particularly appealing for company car drivers, whilst the regular hybrid provides an excellent balance of performance and efficiency. Ford's reputation for creating engaging vehicles shines through, with direct steering, well-controlled body roll, and a supple suspension that delivers both comfort and confidence. Running costs are competitive, especially for models under the £40,000 VED threshold.

Best for: Families seeking a practical, engaging SUV with good fuel economy, company car drivers interested in the plug-in hybrid option, and buyers wanting a car that's genuinely enjoyable to drive.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising premium cabin materials, maximum boot space compared to rivals, or seeking a diesel engine option.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Kuga if: You're seeking a practical, engaging family SUV with good fuel economy, interested in a plug-in hybrid for company car benefits, or want a car that's genuinely enjoyable to drive.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise premium cabin materials, require maximum boot space, or need a diesel engine option.

Competitive Position: The Ford Kuga is a solid contender in the crowded family SUV market, offering excellent driving dynamics, practicality, and competitive running costs. Whilst the Kia Sportage edges ahead on expert rating and the Hyundai Tucson scores highly with users, the Kuga distinguishes itself through its engaging driving experience and flexible powertrain options. The plug-in hybrid variant is particularly compelling for company car drivers. Though it may feel like an underdog compared to more fashionable rivals, the Kuga rewards those who take the time to experience it, delivering genuine enjoyment alongside everyday practicality and affordability.
