Ford Kuga Crossover 2.5 Titanium 5dr

For This Kuga is quick enough to embarrass some hot hatches away from the lights, and the engine suits the fine handling of the car. Plus, because it's less desirable, you can get big discounts on this version

Against Even the claimed average economy is just 27mpg - and you're unlikely to get anywhere near that in everyday driving. Also, the high emissions will mean costly tax bills for any company users

What Car? says

4 out of 5 stars

This is nowhere near the best Kuga in the range. Unless you have an allergy to diesel fuel, there is no sensible argument to have this instead of one of the diesel-engined models

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

There's only a limited range of Kugas to choose from, and all the mainstream models come with the same diesel engine and the choice of two trim levels. We favour the cheaper Zetec, which is still well specified.

A bigger choice is between two- and four-wheel drive. However, our clear preference is for the 2WD car, which is cheaper to buy and run, as well as better to drive, than its 4WD brother, although it naturally doesn't have the same overall versatility.

At the top of the range is a high-performance petrol model. It's quick enough to shock some hot hatches away from the lights, but the diesel models are much more sensible buys.

Whichever Kuga you shop around for, remember to check Ford's website before you buy. There are almost always special offers to be had.
