FORD KUGA | The Plug in Hybrid to beat! E-RANGE TEST ⚡️

This week I take the new Ford Kuga Plug in Hybrid for a spin. It's 14.4KW battery pack should be good for more than 50 km of electric range. Lets find out for ourselves!

Bedankt Thom. Informatief filmpje 👍

[@thom-lov]

Graag gedaan Sjoerd! Binnenkort meer Ford hier, stay tuned. 😉

[@alffred4021]

Ford Kuga, simply the Best👏

[@jullianhuisken7779]

Better than all the rest

[@jlrensOnline]

Dus berg afwaarts, wanneer je verwacht dat er veel regeneratie bezig is, slaat de motor aan als de AC aan staat? Kun je daar wat meer over vertellen? Werkt normaal de auto op vlakke wegen wel gewoon Full Elec. als je AC aan hebt?

[@TWARDOWSKY.]

The AC is Power with patrol engine or battery?

[@mikaelekstrom9553]

How does this compare to the Lynk 01? Range, and comfort wise

[@wenami]

You sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger... I like it 😁😍

[@thom-lov]

I’ll be back!! 😜

[@ascott1953]

Does the Kuga come in an AWD form

[@pupacila26]

Woooo you said that the a.c. doesn't work in electric mode? And what was the fuel consumltion in those 61km?

[@cevdetgz4126]

Got surprised because the (not that small) 14.4 KWh battery manages more than 50 km? What really counts is the electric efficiency, namely how many KWh you need to recharge for that range (value in KWh/100 km). Of course the plain range also is a good benchmark value as it effects your electric radius.

[@user-iu8zj6md9t]

14.4, but only like 10.9 is available as EV, the rest is set aside for Hybrid driving and for battery lifespan protection

[@Nissimcl]

You are able to do 60 to 70 kms on EV only. That's great. I just got a the 2023 version, not tested it yet. But the battery, when fully loaded, gives me an estimate of 40+ kms only. So I am just wondering, what does yours say when it is fully charged? Before driving. :) thanks

[@user-iu8zj6md9t]

it's because it needs to calibrate first

[@nikosgt2]

Mine says 73kms

[@exeauto1083]

Where are you?

[@jesusisoursavior2682]

i like you channel bro. question is the plug in hybrid mix with gasoline. and that 60km you reach its all electric what if the electric finish.

[@thom-lov]

The car will turn on the engine eventually and continue as normal ICE car with mild hybrid support from the almost empty battery which regenerates at breaking and such. :-)

[@damianbuzon8119]

🌸🇺🇸👍🏻

[@Bob-ml7tt]

Pretty sure it's the hill assist that causes the engine to turn on when going downhill this can be turned off

[@thom-lov]

Must be it! Thanks for letting me know 😎

[@dmaciv6678]

Is the electric mode only available with the AC and heater off?

[@thom-lov]

No it’s also available with the electro mode on. Takes a bit more energy consumption, that’s why I sometimes like to turn it off. Cheers,

[@ermenleu]

Hi Thom, waarom kies je niet English als taal in je dashboard scherm i.p.v. Nederlands? Bedoel je video is toch ook in English... Mooie en interessante video verder, wil miss. mijn Focus gaan inruilen voor een Kuga PHEV . E

[@marlef6717]

Mag ik even een vraagje stellen? Ik merk op dat de binnenpanelen van de deur anders zijn. Ik bedoel, geen 3D gaatjes maar mooi afgewerkte lijnen. Is dit een optie of of zo?

[@thom-lov]

Ik vermoed dat het een optie is, of deel uitmaakt van de ST-line. Het zag er in ieder geval fraai uit! 👍🏻

[@marlef6717]

@@thom-lov hoi, vriendelijk bedankt voor uw respons. Heb een beetje navraag gedaan en blijkbaar zou het interieur van de Kuga al een update gekregen hebben. Een beetje snel vind ik maar ziet er wel beter uit. Morgen een testritje doen. Ben benieuwd

[@thom-lov]

Vandaar dus, Thanks! Veel plezier met de proefrit 😎

[@hubrutijna4886]

Beetje vreemd gaan Thom ? Ford ipv Volvo. Leuke video weer.

[@thom-lov]

Haha inderdaad Hub! Merken vergelijken is toch altijd wel erg leuk om te doen. Zo weet ik ook direct of onze Zweedse vrienden nog een beetje goed bezig zijn. 😉

[@janw4725]

​@@thom-lovChinese vrienden bedoel je.

[@albertszabi2867]

What was the consumption in petrol mode on highway 110 km/h ?

[@thom-lov]

About 6L on 100kmh average. Taking it pretty easy though. As the car is quite heavy the fuel economy is not 'as good' as e.g. a Volvo XC40 T2/T3. Still, it is a very descent economy!

[@alexa795]

Not even economical as Toyota Raw 4 plug in. Try this SUV in winter months in ev mode, engine will kick in every 5-6 minutes, and economy it’s down to the bottom. That’s why Toyota Raw 4 plug in have heat pump, and you can drive in el mode in summer as it’s winter without engine will start. Best plug ins it’s Toyota manufactured.

[@mikepo182]

What's your age?

[@thom-lov]

No worries, got a drivers license 😉
