Product Overview

Ford Kuga (chassis code C394) is an affordable compact crossover in production from 2008 to 2012. It was available with a range of inline-4 and inline-5 engines that displaced 2.0 to 2.5 liters.
Designed by Ford for the European market, the Kuga has the underpinnings of an entry-level American crossover and the exterior design comparable to ugly Euro eco-boxes. The interesting option is the turbo I5 petrol engine, even though it was severely underpowered just like the diesels.
Those who drive offroad, for work or leisure, need to think twice before pulling the trigger: the Ford Kuga I is hardly the "offroader" that Ford would like you to think.
