If you are looking for a highly versatile and practical SUV vehicle, then the Ford Kuga could be the perfect car for you! Complete with a comfortable ride and composed handling, the Kuga is a perfect car for both city driving and longer journeys. In this blog, we will be discussing all of the benefits to the Ford Kuga vehicle, from its performance to technology and safety features.
Performance:
When it comes to performance, the Ford Kuga is equipped with a range of different engine options from standard petrol to hybrid, helping to stay environmentally conscious on the road. The 1.5 litre EcoBoost petrol engine, known for its balance in performance and efficiency, has the ability to perform 0-62 mph in just under 9.7 seconds. On the other hand, this vehicle also has two different hybrid engines, the 2.5 litre petrol full hybrid, complete with front wheel drive and all wheel drive, as well as the 2.5 litre petrol plug-in hybrid (PHEV).
While older Kuga models still have diesel engines, Ford has made a conscious decision to switch to more environmentally friendly hybrid engines. When it comes to these engines, the full hybrid has the capability to perform 0-60 mph in around 9 seconds, whereas the plug in hybrid can complete it within 9.2 seconds. Depending on if you are wanting an environmentally friendly engine or not, there is little difference in the speed of the engine compared to the standard petrol option.
Technology:
The Ford Kuga is packed with a range of different technologies designed to enhance the convenience and overall driving experience. One of the main features is Ford’s SYNC 4 infotainment system, which includes a large touchscreen display. This system provides drivers with intuitive access to navigation, entertainment and vehicle settings with ease. Using this device also gives drivers the opportunity to seamlessly integrate their smartphone using the wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
As well as this, the Kuga vehicle also comes with the FordPass Connect, which enables remote vehicle access through a smartphone app. This incredibly convenient device allows users to remotely start the engine, lock and unlock car doors, and access all vehicle status information through their phone.
Safety Features:
The Ford Kuga also comes complete with a safety suite, the Ford Co-Pilot360, which comes with a range of different driver-assistance features designed to help convenience on the road. Within this suite, there is Pre-Collision Assist with Autonomous Emergency Braking, which helps to monitor the road ahead for potential collision hazards, and notifying the driver using visual and audible warnings. If there is a failure in moving the vehicle out of harm’s way, the Emergency Braking system automatically applies, helping to deter the vehicle from possible harm.
Also featured within this suite is the Lane Keeping Aid and Lane Departure Warning, designed to keep drivers within their lane especially when driving through motorways. There is also Blind Spot Monitoring and Active Parking Assist, allowing drivers to manoeuvre with ease into tight spaces with limited hassle.
