Ford Kuga (2020-present) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|

| 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 practical and engaging family SUV that combines genuine driving enjoyment with everyday usability. The current generation, launched in 2020 and refreshed in 2024, finally delivers a machine that competes effectively with class leaders. It offers a commanding driving position, excellent headroom and legroom, and flexible boot space ranging from 412 to 553 litres, expanding to 1,534 litres with rear seats folded. The latest SYNC 4 infotainment system features 5G connectivity, cloud navigation, and wireless smartphone integration as standard.
The Kuga's powertrain options include a turbocharged 1.5-litre petrol, a conventional hybrid with a 2.5-litre engine, and a plug-in hybrid offering 37-43 miles of electric-only range. The plug-in hybrid is particularly appealing for company car drivers, whilst the regular hybrid provides an excellent balance of performance and efficiency. Ford's reputation for creating engaging vehicles shines through, with direct steering, well-controlled body roll, and a supple suspension that delivers both comfort and confidence. Running costs are competitive, especially for models under the £40,000 VED threshold.
Best for: Families seeking a practical, engaging SUV with good fuel economy, company car drivers interested in the plug-in hybrid option, and buyers wanting a car that's genuinely enjoyable to drive.
Not ideal for: Those prioritising premium cabin materials, maximum boot space compared to rivals, or seeking a diesel engine option.

What people say
Plenty of room inside, good styling, seat arrangements give versatile usage of boot space, prices do fluctuate a lot depending on mileage.
Great car, very lively, lots of room. Very well made. Whats not to like
Comfortable to drive good to have a well looked after car, fuel consumption is decent obviously the car is heavy so that factors in. I took a few hours to get the hang of the controls and sat nav as well as linking phone and will probably need a few more to get total abillity to navigate but I'm very happy with the car also it was very clean in and out the only down fall and not much of one is the wing mirrors are electric but don't fold in electricly which when parking is nice to have in certain areas so they don't get hit when you have to do them manualy sometimes you forget
For a 2013 SUV, the Titanium X trim is well-equipped, especially considering it’s now over a decade old Decent price especially with full service history.
the car has great features, However it has s wet cam belt, which needs replacing before 60000 miles, At a cost of approx £1500. Thats just 4500 miles left.
