First impression: compact brawn with a polite roar

Ford Kuga carries a confident SUV silhouette that feels modern without shouting for attention; the proportions are balanced across lengths around 4.6 metres and a width of 1.88 m, so it looks planted yet manoeuvrable in the city. The face is sharper than earlier Kugas, giving a bit more presence on the road without becoming ostentatious. A range of powertrains is offered across the line-up, so the look remains the same whether the priority is efficiency or a touch more performance.

Cabin character: sensible, with a few designer flourishes

The interior mixes soft-touch panels and textured plastics in a way that reads mature and practical rather than premium theatre, with ergonomics generally well judged and controls easy to live with on a daily basis. Seats are supportive for long drives and the driving position is upright, giving a good view out for parking and traffic. Infotainment and switchgear are modern enough to satisfy families and commuters, though some rivals push a bit further on material quality in the upper trims.

Room to live: seats five, carries cargo with a smile

The Kuga is a genuinely practical compact SUV for a family: it seats five and offers a 412-litre boot with the capacity to expand to about 1,534 litres when the rear seats are folded, so grocery runs and weekend kit are handled without drama. Rear legroom is competitive for the class and the payload allowance near 540–550 kg means luggage and passengers add up without upsetting the ride. A low-ish loading lip and sensible storage pockets make everyday use easy, even if very tall loads will need planning.

How it drives: composed, with choices to suit taste

On the move the Kuga aims for a comfortable, composed ride rather than sporty theatrics; steering is reasonably direct and the suspension soaks up most road imperfections while keeping body control tidy through bends. Engines range from modest 150–186 hp petrol units to hybrid and plug‑in systems topping around 243 hp, which means 0–100 km/h times can vary from roughly 9–10 seconds down to about 7.3 seconds for the briskest plug‑in variant. Curb weights from roughly 1,526 to 1,859 kg explain the priority on stability and comfort over razor-sharp agility.

Running costs: pick the powertrain that matches your mileage

Fuel consumption depends heavily on the choice of powertrain: conventional petrol 1.5 EcoBoost variants are in the mid-6 L/100 km ballpark, full-hybrid 2.5 FHEV examples claim around 5.3–5.7 L/100 km in mixed use, while the 2.5 PHEV can dip to about 2.8 L/100 km when the battery is charged and offers an electric range of up to 68 km. The plug‑in’s 14.4 kWh battery gives real urban EV kilometres for most commutes, while the small hybrid battery is passive and focused on smoothing consumption rather than pure-electric driving. For buyers who do lots of short trips, the PHEV can cut fuel bills sharply; longer-distance drivers will find the full hybrid a tidy compromise.

Gadgets and helpers: useful tech, sensible automation

Cabin tech includes responsive infotainment with smartphone integration and clear menus, plus a suite of driver aids such as adaptive cruise, lane-keeping and parking assistance that help in traffic and on long drives. The assistance systems are helpful rather than intrusive, though some semi-autonomous features can feel over-eager in complex city situations. Connectivity and practical convenience features are up to date and make daily use straightforward for families and commuters alike.

Who should buy the Kuga?

The Kuga suits buyers after a practical, comfortable compact SUV with sensible technology and a range of powertrains so the car can be tailored to real-world needs — families who need boot space and usable cabin storage, commuters who will benefit from the PHEV’s electric range, and buyers who prefer the simplicity of petrol or full hybrids. Price and priorities will dictate the best choice: the plug‑in for low urban fuel costs and brisk performance, the full hybrid for steady economy without charging, or the petrol for lower purchase complexity. Overall it’s a well-rounded option for anyone wanting a competent all-rounder rather than a niche specialist.
