The Ford Kuga not only has street cred with its looks, but has added the appeal of being available as a plug-in hybrid or PHEV as we affectionately call them.
The Ford Kuga will provide an ever growing appetite for zero-emissions motoring, with its good electric-only range between charges and UK tax benefits. As well as a PHEV, Ford also offers full and mild-hybrid Kugas with 2.5 litre and 2.0 litre Ecoblue engines and a smaller 1.5-litre petrol engine (the 150 Ecoboost). There’s quite literally a Ford Kuga for all of your family trips, which includes popping down the shops or even towing a caravan.
Theres a wide range of trim levels with entry level Zetec for all round affordability, Titanium Edition if you want lots of equipment, ST Line Edition and ST Line X Edition for added sportiness, and Vignale for top of the range spec with added luxury.
Charging the PHEV’s batteries takes 3.5 hours from a 7kW home wall-box, or less than eight hours if you use a three-pin domestic plug. If you keep the battery topped up and do mainly shorter journeys, your fuel costs will be negligible. When the battery runs out, you can still expect a good level of economy, and we achieved around 47mpg over varied test routes.
You get a three-year/60,000-mile warranty included as standard, while the main batteries of plug-in hybrid models are covered for eight years/100,000 miles.
The entry level Kuga starts from £30k and is well provisioned with safety kit. Lane-keeping assistance comes as standard, as does automatic emergency braking (AEB), which can stop the car automatically if it senses an imminent crash. Blind-spot monitoring, traffic-sign recognition and lane keepy, as well as blind spot mirrors are available as part of the £1000 plus Driver’s Assistance Pack.
