I have driven my Kuga for 2 years and absolutely love it. (Not the new one) 1. If it is to much effort to walk 3 or 4 steps to flatten the back seats you are lazy and have much more serious problems! And how often do you actually flatten them? 2. If you are not an uber driver or a pimp how often do you have 3 adults in the back seat? 3. How often does anyone remove the load cover? 4. Don't put the silly large tyres on it! The ride is much better on the normal tyres. 5. As far as the interior plastics are concerned - When is the last time you were in a similarly priced Toyota, Nissan or a VW? It is not that bad.

I just went to a Kuga test drive yesterday and I gotta say, I was impressed. I am 6'3 (194cm) and I could stay behind the drivers seat adjusted so I can drive confortably really fine. I could almost stretch my feet and head room was good, never touched the ceiling, not even with the head.

I have the NA version (Called the Ford Escape) and it's lovely, the steering is light and direct, the 2.0L Ecoboost is torque-y (240bhp, 250lb-ft) and is great for passing on the Highway, we have the pre-facelift model and it aged well (Coming up to 6 years old since we got it in 2013) plus have had no problems with it. I love the car and I would recommend it to anyone

Sorry but...... We’ve got a 2017 Kuga Titanium, and it’s a great car. Took 4 adults plus 4 very large cases to the airport in total comfort, and even though its only a 1.5 diesel, has plenty of poke and is averaging 45 mpg on mostly urban usage. We only fill it up once a month for flips sake! The Sync 3 , sat nav, all that stuff is bang on, and it’s smooth as fook on the motorway. Love it😁

I have this car in metallic grey, 1.5tdci st line. The car is excellent value for money, the interior is good quality in all places that you actually touch. Matt is exaggerating with the problems he's pointed out. If you can get this on a cheap lease deal or interest free ... it's worth the money. It's better than the Rav4, kadjar and mokka.
@mihneaburada5864
@mihneaburada5864 6 жыл бұрын
Muhammad Bashir I agree about the Kadjar (Mokka is actually in a smaller class, so it is not comparable). I would like to own a Kuga (I currently own a Focus and would like to trade up), but unfortunately, the Skoda Kodiak exists, which trumps the Kuga in most areas. I was really amazed at the acceleration of that thing with the small 1.4 petrol engine!!!

It's some 1000 euros cheaper than a Karoq, but the Skoda is a lot better car. The Kuga is thirstier and the interior is hideous. I honestly see no point in going for a Kuga over the Karoq.

It rides smooth and few things which are easy to fix including oil change. I also have a 2 series with dinan package, but fusion is daily driver and cant ask for better for the money.

Actually the flaps don't go back, if you look closer they are wider than the boot area. They are there so when tou tilt the seats forward, stuff in your boot doesn't fall behind the seat backs (a gap is created when you lower them forwards).

The Hills Ford review of the Kuga is an actual review. I’d recommend that over this so called review any day of the week. It’s comprehensive, straight to the point, and tell you what you NEED to know given the amount of cash you have to part with when buying any new car. I like Matt, but I’d rather know about how the car handles, its features, it’s safety (having been in a serious accident) and it’s fuel economy rather than “Kuga means plague in Croatia” who cares about that? Probably try your hand at stand up comedy rather that car reviews Matt and leave that to grown ups

CJ X - I was the same until I took it for a test drive. Smooth ride. Minimal (if any) road noise. Good seating position and nice elevation. The floor can be made flat as well so don’t be put off by his un-researched review. Also the parcel shelf can be stowed away too. It comfortably seats 3 adults as well in the rear and there’s plenty of head clearance too. I think these reviewers need to do their research as there were plenty of features that he didn’t mention. Surely that’s the whole point of a review? I’m not interested if “Kuga” means “plague” I just want an unbiased and honest review of how the car actually drives! It’s clear that he’s not a Ford fan and a bit of a badge snob. I would recommend that you watch several reviews on call this car and take it for a test drive too. It’s going to be my next car for sure. Hope this helps

He actually makes a lot of sense, newer rivals are better in most areas: practicality, build quality, entertainment system, driving dinamics, comfort. Just watch the Skoda Kodiak review, it beats the Kuga at all those categories. I love Fords, but the Kuga is just older than it's rivals.

Tbh this is the worse carwow review ive ever seen, alot of features were missed such as the floor in the boot space being able to be raised a bit on blocks visable in the video to make a more level load space when back seats are down. Also it dosnt look good if the person doing the review has also done videos on the kugas features???

Jack The Lad yeah, they chose a larger dashboard over a longer bonnet so the inside space is bigger - on some models they even have a secondary storage space on top of the dash on the passenger side, on top of the glovebox. Some of you guys are trying hilariously hard to diss Ford. This is probably the silliest and most pathetic-amusing reason to dislike their interior design.

Have a 180st line awd and it's fantastic, mud flaps as with all cars stop the crap under the doors, yes rear bumper gets mucky but don't they all? Economy for the power is great, tows fantastic,comfy, plenty room in the boot. Yes ours has sporty suspension but doesn't roll like the titanium which is slightly softer and higher which are all described in the bumf you get at dealers so it's down to choice. I agree with the screen moan, the bottom buttons are a pain but let's face it you shouldn't be messing about while on the move anyway. Towing mpg 27mpg and I don't hang about, solo 45 can be achieved.
