Ford has revealed full UK pricing for the all-new Ford Kuga, including high-specification First Edition models arriving early next year.
The Ford Kuga Zetec, available from £23,995, features FordPass Connect embedded mode, wireless charging and advanced driver assistance and safety features as standard.
The Ford Kuga Titanium First Edition, from £28,145, features B&O premium audio system and driver’s assistance pack as standard including front and rear view cameras, Adaptive Cruise Control and Traffic Sign Recognition.
Kuga First Editions are available with all powertrains including the 2.5-litre 225PS plug-in hybrid. The Titanium First Edition plug-in hybrid is available for £33,995 on the road, priced the same as 2.0-litre EcoBlue 190PS engine.
“The all-new Ford Kuga is our first passenger vehicle to offer plug-in hybrid technology, alongside a full line-up of other options to give our customers a comprehensive engine choice,” said Lisa Brankin, passenger vehicle director, Ford of Britain.
The plug-in hybrid’s powertrain utilises a highly efficient 2.5-litre Atkinson petrol engine that enables it to deliver fuel economy of 201mpg and NEDC CO2 emissions of 26g/km. The PHEV can operate on electric power only, enabling electric-only driving for approximately 35 miles powered by the 14.4kWh battery pack.
Kuga First Editions are available in Titanium, ST-Line and ST-Line X trims, adding sporty interior and exterior design cues and sports suspension, with 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.
