For The Kuga looks great, has a strong and economical diesel engine, and strikes a good balance between comfort and control.
Against It's not especially practical, there's too much wind noise and prices are high. The 2.5-litre petrol engine is thirsty.
What Car? says
Ford's 4x4 offers a great balance of comfort and control out on the road, but it's not the most practical. Zetec trim is the most sensible to buy.
There are 5 Ford Kuga editions available
Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
For the moment, there's only a limited range of Kugas to choose from. Both models come with the same diesel engine, four-wheel drive and the choice of two trim levels. We favour the cheaper Zetec, which is still well specified. However, in time, Ford will add a high-performance petrol model to the top of the range, as well as a two-wheel drive model at the other end.
This last version will have a useful drop in CO2 emissions and, consequently, company car tax liability, although even the four-wheel drive models are respectably green by the standards of the class.
Whichever Kuga you shop around for, remember to check Ford's website before you buy. There are almost always special offers to be had, even on its most sought-after models, like the Kuga.
