FORD KUGA
Model range SUV Price From £24,615 Kerbweight 1493-1773kg
FORD’S KUGA IS one of the most popular tow cars on the market today. The second generation built on the success of the first, with more space and practicality, although perhaps the design was a tad bland.
Now, with the third generation, Ford has been considerably bolder. Not only is the new car more eye-catching, it’s also much more technologically advanced.
Nowhere is that more evident than under the bonnet, with buyers able to choose mild and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions.

A Third-generation Kuga is more eye-catching and technologically advanced
Diesel versus hybrid
In many ways, the PHEV looks like the pick of the range. For starters, it’s the heaviest model, with a kerbweight of 1773kg.
It should prove a lively performer, too, thanks to a 115hp 2.5-litre petrol engine and 110hp of electric power. The electric motor is strong enough to propel the car on its own at speeds of up to 85mph.
