Ford Kuga to cost from 20,495

These are the first official pictures of the production version of the Ford Kuga 4x4, which will go on sale in June from 20,495.

Engine choice at the car's launch is restricted to one engine: a 134bhp 2.0-litre diesel, which is coupled to a six-speed manual gearbox and a permanent four-wheel-drive system.

The Kuga emits 169g/km of carbon dioxide and does 44.1mpg on average.

Inside, the Ford Kuga has fold-flat rear seats, as well as storage areas under those seats and under the boot floor. There's 1355 litres of luggage capacity with the rear seats down and 410 litres with the seats up.

Just two trims are on offer: Zetec and the range-topping Titanium.

Ford says the car, which will be displayed for the first time at the Geneva motor show, has genuine off-road ability.
