Fords New Kuga
Published Date: 23rd Sep 2007
On sale in the summer of 2008, the new Ford Kuga is being unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September in near production form. This trend-setting newcomer takes many of its design ideas from the Iosis X concept shown at the Paris Motor Show last year.
Combining elements of SUV and estate car design with a coupe-like profile in a package similar in size to a Ford Focus hatchback, the Kuga is the latest showcase for Ford’s acclaimed kinetic design.
The Ford Kuga will boast an intelligent all-wheel-drive system which contributes positively to normal road use and helps give an almost sporty dynamic ability for those who want to use it cross-country.
Kuga’s powertrain will feature Ford’s established and fuel efficient 2.0litre, 136 PS Duratorq TDCi common-rail diesel engine, mated to the slick Durashift 6-speed manual transmission.
For the production Ford Kuga the roof profile of the Iosis X concept has been adjusted to a slightly higher silhouette offering comfortable accommodation for 5 people and the luggage compartment is accessed via a split tailgate. Together with the divided rear lights this ensures the maximum full load width is available for loading and unloading. Inside, fine leathers and striking orange piping dominate.
