Overall rating 4.5/5The Ford Kuga has been a popular sight on British roads since 2008 as a modern, eye-catching SUV that balances passenger comfort with on-road agility. The Kuga drives beautifully, just like any other Ford, hugging roads, while visibility is superb, thanks to the commanding seating position in a cabin that's also well-equipped. These qualities make it a strong contender if you’re shopping for a used SUV. The first generation was followed by the sleeker second generation in 2012 and the current third generation in 2019. Between these years, the Kuga has earned its place among families as a competent and fashionable SUV.
If you’re wondering, as a used buy, the Ford Kuga is a great SUV with three generations catering to different budgets. And if you are conscious about fuel bills, the modern hybrid petrol engines are not to be missed.
