This text was not translated, because it is originally in English The second generation of Ford's popular SUV is larger, more refined and better equipped than previously, yet retains its handling prowess. Our first steer in the all-new Ford Kuga on UK roads. The new Kuga has grown bigger for its second-generation, adding increased practicality, quality, equipment levels and refinement in the process, according to the Blue Oval. The increase in size is also due to it now being twinned with the US-market Ford Escape, a place where bigger nearly always mean better for buyers. But just because it can trace its roots across the Atlantic, dont expect the new Kuga to be softly set-up and brash to look at; the new Kuga is very much a car for the European market, with bespoke chassis tuning and styling revisions. Four engines are offered: 138bhp and 161bhp 2. 0 diesels and 148bhp and 178bhp 1. 6-litre petrols. Its the more potent diesel were testing here, complete with Fords new Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system and a six-speed dual-clutch automatic Powershift gearbox.
