Ford Kuga 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 solid choice in a crowded SUV marketplace, being roomy, fuel-efficient and good to drive. The plug-in hybrid is the star of the range, partly thanks to its generous electric-only range. Running costs will be very affordable for the right kind of driver, but the rest of the Kuga range is also very capable. Nonetheless, the Kuga still feels like something of an underdog or outsider. If you’re in the market for a SUV, whether it’s petrol, hybrid or PHEV, don’t dismiss the Ford Kuga until you’ve driven one.

Best for: Families looking for a roomy, fuel-efficient, and enjoyable-to-drive SUV, especially those interested in a PHEV
Not ideal for: Buyers seeking a premium interior feel or a car that stands out from the crowd immediately


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 you value a capable plug-in hybrid or affordable running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You want a car with a more premium interior, class-leading boot space, or a car that has a stronger "wish-list" appeal.

Competitive Position: The Ford Kuga is a solid, well-rounded family SUV offering strong driving dynamics, practicality, and efficient hybrid options, especially the PHEV. While it may be an "underdog" in popularity, it delivers a very capable and enjoyable ownership experience.
