Ford Kuga 2018 SUV in-depth review | carwow Reviews

[@prieurduplessis4993]

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.

[@Raprada]

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't you supposed to flip over that flap thing on the bottom of the back seat in 4:33 so you can slide items over the ridge?

[@anonymousmind]

No. (yes)

[@callingbell-ix5se]

Thts what happens when the reviewer just want to trash the car

[@skyhigheagleer6]

You can lift the floor up as well, so it sits on the ridges. This is a feature Matt has praised on so many other cars and completely misses it on a Ford. Surprise Surprise.

[@mel2401]

Dear me is he getting a bit sloppy? Oh and who would buy a diesel now?

[@mihneaburada5864]

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).

[@TL-xw6fh]

Ford should stick a VW badge on it and Matt will sing praises of it. "Best thing since sliced bread", he'll say

[@ne2256]

Nah, I would say stick a Peugeot badge and he would be impressed

[@tugboat25]

This guys criticisms are often times completely ridiculous (no matter what the car).

[@aghevl9999]

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.

[@gangoa07]

Lucky you didn't listen to Matt🤣 ,glad you had a good experience, I've been driving ford focus's all my driving life and thinking of getting a Kuga , I have had the pleasure of driving one for work and have to say they are gorgeous to drive

Why are you comparing it to Kodiaq!? Kodiaq is quite longer than Kuga ..Ford Edge is Kodiaq's rival, not Kuga.

[@skyhigheagleer6]

Exactly, it's smaller than a car in a different category. Surprise!

[@bars4741]

Kuga wider and higher than kodiaq

[@mihneaburada5864]

The Kodiak and Kuga have the same prices, that's why. You get more for tour money with the Kodiak. I love the Kuga looks, but he is right.

What a lazy update to the car. The centre console is at least 6 years old now and hasn't aged well at all.

[@eduardschneider1552]

Mr H Reviews Mr H Reviews IKR! I just the same again

[@Grumpycat95]

The interior design is different from the other cars but cheap , It's a big hunk of plastic .I swear I've never seen a ford with some brushed aluminium or something that would make the car look solid.

[@skyhigheagleer6]

Have you seen the interior on SEATs or VWs in the last 5 years? They haven't changed either. Infact I would say they are even more drab flat faces of grey plastic.

[@thorbjrnmadsen4984]

skyhigheagleer6 Have you even see newer Volkswagens? A current Volkswagen Passat have nice interior with metal trims. But yes VWs 5 years ago have shits an boring interiors, some VWs interiors are still boring. But in my opinion Skoda have better interior than Volkswagen, despite Skoda is owned by VW and uses elements from VW

[@Horizon301.]

skyhigheagleer6 VW interiors are designed well, they don’t need to be changed much as it’s what people like. E.g. the golf. Unlike ford who has crappy interiors

[@callumhardie3506]

Kuga is actually a rather good car. To give a flat load space when back seats are down you simply raise the boot floor.

[@gregg.d]

Got this model.. the boot floor does go flat if you know how to. The luggage blind sits neatly out of the way under the rear seats.

[@sowgelder]

Just shows if your looking to criticise its easy. I get sick of the 1 litre bottle test. Its pathetic. I have had 3 of these and my kids both have one. Great car.

[@coastaku1954]

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

[@ionutiancovici802]

The retractable boot cover has a storage space under back seats. Read the manual pls before assuming incorect opinions.

[@leebradley1977]

Really?! I've had this car for 3 years and it goes back in two weeks, and im inky just learning this 🤦‍♂️😂

[@heartsineurope]

@@leebradley1977 LOL

[@MrPilgrim609]

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😁

[@TheMobo95]

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]

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!!!

[@mmmakeee]

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.

[@sauberbeast]

It's worth the money, until it starts continously breaking down.

[@Mogsy28uk]

Mihnea, the Kodiak is the same size as the Edge, Karoq is the new Skoda same size as Kuga, only snag is the top engines are all 150PS, no 190PS models yet

[@wakeuppeople1334]

[@ddawson457]

This isn't so much of a review but a beating. Matt is on a mission. Wonder how much skoda bribed them as the kuga is one of the most popular suvs in the UK.

[@MarushDenchev]

I bought it last year. I like it a lot. All of the things that Matt say are true but non of them bothers me. And I do need 4x4. Have you ever tried to park on a slipper pavement in Bulgaria. Gosh ... you need a 6x6x6x6...

Don't you guys get American Ford's. Like your new Mondeo was our Fusion 3 years before you got it. And now you get our Edge and this is our old Escape. Quite sad really, cause your Ford's were better, we should be getting your European Ford's, not the the other way around.

[@dimpapathe]

Darren Marta I was a ford fanatic, I owned a 2003 Ford Escape and then a 2008 mondeo, they try to market their cars as value for money, but their efforts are not up to customer satisfaction. I will never buy a ford again.

[@rauleyshar3635]

I was not a ford guy, but now will always have ford. Why? Bought a 2011 fusion for 3900$. Went to junkyard and bought a navigation unit for 65$ and installed it by my self. 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.

[@durpinator95]

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???

[@melodymaker9711]

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

[@mihneaburada5864]

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.

[@minhtriluong5952]

mrhpijl because these are things that a car should be critisized for

[@sauberbeast]

He's being negative because it's a ford, nuff said.

[@durpinator95]

Tbh he has worked for ford, he has vids about innovative design in the ford kuga which makes me laugh so hard when i watch this

[@Matty12333]

mrhpijl Badge snobbery at its finest, if it was a Vw there would be no negatives

[@thomasrenia]

[@TavianOrd]

[@abdelhadi5770]

[@HimanshuKumar-qm9sl]

@@abdelhadi5770 tucson fof sure

[@Philipp-zb6lh]

Will there be a review of the new Kuga soon?

[@greenzero3389]

I think recently you're loosing sight of reality Matt. With this level of car, how many owners will actually use the ski hatch? and of those few that do how often? Having or not having a ski hatch on this type of car makes little to no difference to the person likely to be driving it. After seeming disappointed about there being no ski hatch you say don't bother with the 4x4 versions, just buy a set of winter wheels/tyres. A you know four wheel drive is more about stability over slippy surfaces than driving in the snow, plus how many Kuga owners can afford to buy an additional set of wheels/tyres never mind where the heck you're they store them for the other 10.5 months of the year when they're not using them. Come on mate, you have great energy and delivery with good camera work, just keep the reviews real for the demographic of the car you're reviewing.

If he was reviewing a german SUV he would say the AWD is essential.

[@thorbjrnmadsen4984]

GreenZero There is even no point having ski hatches in cars- Most estates and SUVs comes with optional roof racks. You can just tie the ski on the roof rack

[@greenzero3389]

+Thorbjørn Madsen - excellent point, something you would expect a modern car reviewer to make comment on. Reviews are best when they a measured against their target audience. Concentrating on putting out so many videos each week can risk a lazy one size fits all approach to reviews, which I fear Matt and carwow maybe falling in to.

[@johnc007]

+Thorbjørn Madsen Roof box means reduced MPG and less stable too.

[@LucasFernandez-fk8se]

GreenZero ITS A FORD FREAKING ESCAPE WHY IS EVERYONE CALLING IT A "kugah"???! I MEAN REALLY ESCAPE IS SO MUCH EASIER TO PRONOUNCE AND TYPE

[@hakanozkocak9459]

Interesting thing is matt was in favor of kuga II a couple of years ago while promoting and advertising it. What have been changed since then? This car only had a facelift.

[@carwow]

+Hakan Ozkocak it got old

[@iot1452]

I see dog...I press like immediately. Didn't like the car though.

[@thorbjrnmadsen4984]

®ioT It's a bulldog. And bulldogs are ugly in my opinion.

[@radudeATL]

Yeah but they are so ugly they are almost cute tho...

[@emjayay]

Bulldogs are mutants, but that bit was hilarious.

[@johansteyn8526]

Let me tel you something in SA. I buy a good late low mileage Kuga any day before any new SUV on the market in this price range. Superb car. One in its class. All negatives are all nonsense. Brilliant car totally underrated.
