THE Ford Kuga is now available with a significant range of upgrades that include the smart utility vehicle’s most powerful diesel powertrain to date.
Improvements to the Kuga’s diesel and petrol engine range also deliver lower CO² emissions. Kuga will have more advanced technologies as standard to help reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions, including auto-start-stop and active grille shutter.
Ford has increased peak power of the TDCi engine by 12kW to 132kW and peak torque to 400Nm up from 340Nm. This engine choice will deliver the most pulling power ever for the Kuga, particularly when combined with Ford’s Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system. The Kuga also underwent a facelift. It gets a powerful petrol engine, the 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine that also powers the Focus ST and delivers 177kW with 340Nm of torque.
On top of the cruise control with adjustable speed limiter that is offered as standard, Kuga also offers adaptive cruise control including forward alert, which warns drivers if they are travelling too close to the vehicle ahead.
Another standard technology is the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, which warns if any of the tyres lose significant pressure during a journey.
Other available technologies include:
• Hands-free tailgate.
• Blind spot information system.
• Active city stop.
• Auto high beam.
• Lane keeping aid.
• Lane keeping alert.
• Driver alert.
Kuga, featuring the new 2.0-litre TDCi and 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre EcoBoost engines, is on sale now. It will also be offered in three additional colours:
• Ruby Red Metallic.
• Magnetic Metallic.
• Tiger Eye Metallic.
