Available in two versions (the Kuga Trend and the Kuga Titanium), the model will come with a 2.5-liter 5-cylinder petrol turbo engine with 197 hp, mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. Ford says that the Kuga has a combined fuel consumption of 6.41-liter per 100 km and CO2 emissions of 169 g/km CO2.
“The Ford Kuga will be an exciting addition to our Australian model range. The Ford Kuga is certain to appeal to customers looking for a stylish, practical and fun compact SUV. During the last year we have either replaced or updated around 85 percent of Ford’s Australian model line-up and we are certain the Ford Kuga will be another compelling offer for our customers”, said Bob Graziano, the president and CEO of Ford Australia.
