The FORD KUGA is a compact family SUV, with a raised driving position and practical cabin suited to UK roads. It competes with the Nissan Qashqai and Volkswagen Tiguan, offering more space and versatility than a hatchback without the bulk of a large off-roader. Used for school runs, commuting and weekends, the FORD KUGA suits couples and families wanting flexible passenger and luggage space. A comfortable ride, good visibility and petrol, diesel and hybrid choices make it easy to live with and capable on longer journeys. It is also regarded as an enjoyable drive among family SUVs.
