The Ford Kuga combines SUV practicality with car-like driving dynamics, making it an excellent choice for families seeking a versatile vehicle. As Ford's popular mid-sized SUV, it offers elevated driving position, generous space, and robust build quality while maintaining reasonable running costs.
When considering a used Kuga, engine selection is important. The 1.5-litre EcoBoost petrol engines provide smooth performance and are well-suited to lower-mileage drivers, while the 2.0-litre TDCi diesel options offer stronger pulling power and better fuel economy for longer journeys. Post-2016 facelifted models benefit from improved efficiency and updated technology.
Trim levels are well-specified, with Titanium being particularly popular for its balance of equipment and value. Features to look out for include the hands-free power tailgate, SYNC 3 infotainment system, and active park assist. All-wheel drive versions offer extra security in adverse conditions, though front-wheel drive models provide lower running costs and are perfectly suitable for most users.
When inspecting a used Kuga, verify the operation of all electrical systems and check for a complete service history. The optional panoramic roof is a desirable feature but ensure it operates correctly and shows no signs of water ingress. Recent models offer improved safety features, including autonomous emergency braking and adaptive cruise control, which are worth seeking out.
