The model
Read full Ford Kuga reviewThe Kuga is a decent large SUV in any guise, but it makes real sense if you opt for the hybrid or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models. Shortcomings include the iffy interior quality and the relatively small boot.
The trim
See full equipmentYou have to plump for ST-Line if you want either our favourite hybrid FHEV engine or the plug-in hybrid. This trim is mostly about the interior and exterior styling tweaks, but also gets firmer sports suspension that helps with handling but does compromise ride slightly.
The engine
See full engine specsThe 148bhp Ecoboost 150’s 148bhp drops the 0-62mph time down to a reasonable 9.7sec, so expect it to cope with fast flowing roads and heavy loads than its smaller sibling. Only available with a six-speed manual gearbox and it has a towing capacity of 1800kg. CO2 emissions are on the low side for the class, although beaten by the Citroën C5 Aircross.
