Three new Kuga vehicles to be released by Ford

2 December 2008
Greater power and torque are just some of the additions developed by Ford as it launches three new Kuga crossover vehicles.

A new front-wheel drive version has been created, which maintains the style and refinement of the existing Kuga 2.0-litre, but offers enhanced fuel economy and a CO2 output of 159/km.

Also, flagships vehicles in the Kuga range are to be given the 2.5-litre Duratec engine more commonly found in other models of the Ford brand such as the Mondeo and the Focus.

This five-cylinder petrol engine will allow used car drivers looking at buying a new Kuga to hit 62 miles per hour from standstill in 8.2 seconds, with a top speed available of 129 miles per hour.

Motorists looking for an automatic rather than manual gearbox may be pleased to know that a five-speed automatic transmission is alternatively available with the engine.

The Ford Kuga is a crossover SUV similar to the old Ford Maverick.

It has only been on the market since the start of this year.
