Ford has revealed UK pricing for the new Ford Kuga models arriving early next year.
The Ford Kuga Zetec, available from £23,995 on the road, features FordPass Connect embedded mode, wireless charging and advanced driver assistance and safety features as standard.
The Ford Kuga Titanium First Edition, from £28,145 on the road, features B&O premium audio system and driver’s assistance pack as standard including front and rear view cameras, adaptive cruise control and traffic sign recognition.
Kuga First Editions are available with all powertrains including the 2.5-litre 225hp plug-in hybrid. The Titanium First Edition plug-in hybrid is available for £33,995 on the road, priced the same as 2.0-litre EcoBlue 190hp engine.
“The all-new Ford Kuga is our first passenger vehicle to offer plug-in hybrid technology, alongside a full line-up of other options to give our customers a comprehensive engine choice,” said Lisa Brankin, passenger vehicle director, Ford of Britain.
“Matched with a contemporary design, advanced technology, driver assistance and safety features, the all-new Kuga represents the best in one package.”
The plug-in hybrid’s powertrain utilises a 2.5-litre ‘Atkinson cycle’ petrol engine that enables it to deliver a more efficient drive than the ‘Otto cycle’ engines usually used in conventional vehicles. The PHEV can operate on electric power only, enabling electric only driving for up to around 30 miles powered by the 14.4kWh battery pack.
Kuga First Editions are available in Titanium, ST-Line and ST-Line X trims, adding sporty interior and exterior design cues and sports suspension, with 12.3in digital instrument cluster. Starting from £31,845, ST-Line X First Edition includes handsfree power tailgate, panoramic roof and 19in alloy wheels.
