Ford Kuga (2012 - 2020) 2.0 TDCi (150bhp) Zetec 2WD 5d Owner Review

The Kuga is a very easy car to live with as it has a good sized boot space and very spacious cabin. It is equiped with the silver roof rails which I recommend as it gives the car a more muscular and more SUV-ish look. It has decent visibility all round and the blind spots are not too big; the wing mirrors are a good size and counter the blind spots anyway. If you ever need to lift heavy luggage into and out of the boot there is no load lip to lift things over and has a scuff plate to avoid damaging your paintwork.. The seats are very comfortable and make the Kuga a great car to travel long distances in and to go on holiday with. There is a lot of adjustment in them if you are a shorter or taller person. The infotainment is a bit slow to respond but is easy to navigate round and is easy to use. The suspension is quite comfortable over bumps and potholes and has a very smooth ride, and although it is an SUV the Kuga does not lean and feel like it is about to fall over when you go round a corner at higher speeds. The engine is a diesel engine which is smooth and quiet. At higher revs you can hear that it is a diesel but it still has a decent noise and is not rattly and rough sounding. The manual gearbox is smooth. On the outside the Kuga is a large and tall car that looks very good and well designed. There are a few fake vents along with plastic trim that has massive gaps inbetween the doors but unless you physically look for them and are a petrolhead, you don't notice the fake vents.Overall, the Ford Kuga Zetec is a very nice car and is practical and easy to live with and I would recommend you consider it if you are looking for a practical SUV or an estate car.
