Ford Kuga

The Kuga is derived from the fantastic Focus, so it is no surprise to find it strikes a good balance between handling and comfort. It is accurate and grippy through corners, and the steering offers you a choice of assistance weights.

The Kuga’s premium look is reflected once you’re behind the wheel. Ford has really upped its game in terms of interior quality, and this shows in the Kuga. The layout is simple but stylish, yet in spite of the abundance of black trim, it isn’t gloomy. The driving position is spot-on and all-round visibility is good, too, even if the thick C-pillars make parking tricky.
