Question 1

Which versions does the new Ford Kuga come in?

Accepted Answer

The 1.5 EcoBoost petrol with 150 PS and a six-speed manual, the 2.5 full hybrid with 180 PS, or 183 PS with four-wheel drive, and the 2.5 plug-in hybrid with 243 PS. Both hybrids use a CVT automatic.

Question 2

What do the Ford Kuga trims add?

Accepted Answer

Titanium comes with the petrol engine and Active with the hybrids, while ST-Line brings sportier styling and ST-Line X more equipment, topped by a Black Package. The BlueCruise Edition adds Ford's hands-off motorway driving assistant.

Question 3

Is the Ford Kuga plug-in hybrid worth it over the full hybrid?

Accepted Answer

The plug-in hybrid suits drivers who can charge at home, as its 10 kWh battery covers short trips on electricity and it is the most powerful Kuga. The full hybrid needs no plug and is the only Kuga sold with four-wheel drive.

Question 4

How much road tax does a new Ford Kuga pay?

Accepted Answer

The first year is set by its CO₂ emissions, lowest for the plug-in hybrid, and then it pays £200 a year. A version whose list price is over £40,000 adds £440 a year in years two to six.

Question 5

Should I buy a new or a nearly new Ford Kuga?

Accepted Answer

A new Kuga brings the full factory warranty and your choice of trim. A nearly new one costs noticeably less, and a car from 2024 on already has the current powertrains.
