The Ford Kuga is a versatile SUV: it's good at space, rides well, and has a custom look. The Titanium 4WD version also offers rich equipment and improved versatility on slippery surfaces. Among the shortcomings, we find a somewhat confusing control panel and consumption slightly different from the data announced by the House of Representatives.
CITY
La Ford Kuga it grows 8 cm, which undoubtedly increases its habitability, slightly compromising the convenience of parking in the city. From his 452 cm long and 184 cm wideactually Kuga this is a large machine. The high seat and good visibility on the other side make it a pleasure to drive. The steering is pleasantly light, and the Powershift automatic transmission is quick and light, one of the best in its category. But most of all, the torque and quietness of the 2.0-horsepower 150 TDCI is appreciated. A good engine that guarantees adequate performance (0-100 km / h at a maximum speed of 10.9 and 190 km / h) and an average of 15 km / l in the city.
IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
Between the curves Ford Kuga 2.0 TDCI 150 HP behaves well. The suspension is softer than the sporty one, but despite this, the car has a pleasant dynamic behavior. He enthusiastically enters the turn and closes the trajectory, in short, a real surprise. This is also thanks to the systems Torque vector which help maintain the trajectory by "clamping" the brake discs on their own. The Powershift gearbox is good here too, even if, despite the paddle shifters, there is no true manual mode. It's a shame the steering is too light and disabled, but since this isn't a sports car, you can forgive that.
шосе
La Ford Kuga in motorway it grinds kilometers with ease: the engine is not audible at the code speed, and the hiss is limited. However, the consumption is not very low and averages 13-14 km / l.
LIFE ON BOARD
Thehabitability of Ford Kuga è adequate for a family, even if there are five of them. The back is also comfortable for a person of my height (my height is 1,85 cm), and the folding tables attached to the rear seats are an interesting plus. The luggage compartment is also spacious, boasting capacity 456 liters, which becomes 1653 with the seats down.
Inside we find a well-made cockpit made of soft materials and good quality hard plastic. However, the design is very American, with a lot of chrome outlines and too many buttons. The screen of the Sync3 infotainment system (the most advanced in the Ford house) is easy to read, but it is far away, which can create some problems when navigating the menus. Of course it is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, essential convenience.
