Introduction

The new Kuga was developed on the basis of the platform of the C-MAX. The innovative design of the Kuga offers a high vehicle ride height as well as an elevated seat position. Like many of the new Ford models already, the new crossover concept is characterised by the extremely dynamic styling of the Ford kinetic design.

The Kuga is supplied with five seats.

A panoramic roof over the first and second seat row is available as an option. The panoramic roof consists of laminated glass, which is vapour-coated with a heat-reflecting "Solar Reflect" coating.

Some systems already used on the C-MAX 2007.5 are also used on the new Kuga. In addition, a number of new systems and functions are available for the new Kuga. Components have also been carried over from the S-MAX/Galaxy and the new Mondeo.

A significant modification has been made to the powertrain. The Kuga is optionally available with all-wheel drive. This is realised by means of a Haldex clutch.

A reversing camera is available in combination with the navigation systems. The high-end hands-free phone kit with Bluetooth and voice control features a USB jack with iPod control function.
