All-New Kuga - Safe, Smart, Efficient

All-New Kuga - Safe, Smart, Efficient

Date: 2013-07-12
The all-new Ford Kuga debuting in South Africa is set to shatter the myth that an SUV can't be green, high-tech, capable and exceptional all at once.

The all-new Kuga offers ample space, a sharp design, enhanced driving dynamics, fuel efficient engines and a host of clever technologies including SYNCª, Ford's 'open sesame' handsfree automatic tailgate, Ford's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system, Active City Stop, Lane Keeping Aid, Blind Spot Indication System and more.

The launch of the all-new Kuga sees the introduction of a new range of engines including a turbocharged 1.6-litre EcoBoost petrol engine and a 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine. Both powertrains produce outstanding performance, impressive fuel economy and low emissions.

"The all-new Kuga line-up is well-rounded and comprehensive with a host of fantastic features that make it the perfect choice for families. Ford's smart technologies offer extensive safety and convenience benefits that will be welcomed in this market," says Ford Marketing Manager Gavin Golightly.

The all-new Kuga delivers impressive fuel efficiency from a powertrain lineup that, for the first time, includes EcoBoost engine technology.

The all-new Kuga's smart AWD system pre-emptively assesses conditions 20 times faster than it takes to blink an eye, readjusting the AWD power split to give the driver the best blend of handling and traction.

The all-new Kuga comes with a 4-year / 120 000km comprehensive warranty, a 4-year / 80 000km service plan on petrol derivatives and a 5 year /90 000km service plan on diesel derivatives. Added piece of mind comes in the way of a 3-year /unlimited km roadside assistance plan while service intervals are staggered at 20 000km on petrol derivatives and 15000km on diesel derivatives.
