Really compact, this is no longer. The space is accordingly good. Also people beyond the 1.90 meters will have no difficulties to find their place. Worth noting that there is plenty of headroom, although an airy panoramic roof extends the list of tools. Ford
a cause for criticism there are still. The seats could offer a bit more lateral support, the material appearance in the interior in comparison to the seats is the top dog VW Tiguan weaker. The plastic is of more robust nature, to say it diplomatically – especially in the back. Da was saved at prices beyond the 40,000 Euro in this test, the car at the wrong end.

operation and in-car Infotainment
The Kuga interior is modern and uncluttered; the operation is simple, even if one or the other switch in the dashboard is likely to be in the area of the air conditioning a little bigger. A matter of taste, and is useful Head-Up Display, which projects key information, however, to a retractable plastic screen that rises out of the dashboard. The information is not read with the Background of the hood and the adjustable font size, however, is not always easy. The other can be better.

engine, drive and fuel consumption
On the name Diesel Ford is currently of no great value, who can blame them. If the test car with the name of EcoBlue Hybrid that is also why the D-word hiding? He can see: The two-liter mild-hybrid Diesel impresses with its noise, which is more reminiscent of a diesel. 150 HP pre-accelerate the Kuga to almost 200 km/h. The consumption is according to the WLTP in the case of 5.1 litres/100 km.

This Motor is not connected to an external power source, the battery recharges automatically through the brake system – the technical term for this is recuperation.

conclusion
The color to Lucid Red metallic is not a matter of taste, my daughter finds them beautiful. Anyway, I’m not a fan of red cars, Ferrari, except once. However, the Kuga can Shine in some aspects. It rides quiet, and rather cozy, in the ST-X as standard sporty suspension isn’t as tight, but more comfortable. Overall, it is a little softer than its predecessor.
Visually, the Kuga makes her a lot, but he polarises opinion. He is not as timeless as most of the VWs – the the find one good, the other less. Criticism worthy of the material impression in the interior. Overall, the Kuga is a round thing and with the variety of drives offers something for every buyer, an Alternative – also for those who want to continue to keep the Diesel Loyalty.
