The second generation of the Ford Kuga was unveiled in 2012 and it was the answer given by Ford Motor Company for the compact-class SUV. It was designed in Europe.
The first generation of Kuga was premiered at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, at the same time with its main rival in Europe, the Volkswagen Tiguan. While the economic crisis started, the sales figures dropped and Ford was forced to sell its premium brands in Europe such as Volvo, Aston Martin, Land Rover, and Jaguar. Kuga and all the other cars offered by Ford had to survive and drive the car-maker ahead.
The 2017 model received a big improvement for the second generation of the Kuga. A bigger, taller, and wider grille was adopted. It was flanked by new headlamps incorporating LED daytime running lights and complemented by fog lamps. The taillights and the rear bumper were redesigned as well.
Inside, the biggest improvement was the introduction of the SYN3 infotainment unit. It was engineered to complement the modern smartphones and offered a better understanding of voice commands. The 8” touch-screen display offered a better layout. It featured a parallel or perpendicular automatic parking system.
For the drivetrain, the Ford C1 platform was perfect for the compact Kuga. Due to its architecture, it allowed both front and all-wheel-drive systems via a Haldex electronically controlled center differential. Kuga was offered with a choice of four gasoline and four diesel engines. All of them were turbocharged.
