The new Ford Kuga is the third-generation model It faces a lot of competition in the family SUV class - almost every manufacturer makes a similarly sized SUV The Ford Kuga's interior is shared with other Fords There are two petrol engines, three diesels and a plug-in hybrid to choose from The latest Ford Kuga brings back the driving spark that was missing in the previous car The Ford Kuga is sold in America as the Ford Escape The Kuga gets a similar grille to the Focus It's bigger and more spacious than its predecessor The Ford Kuga is the company's largest SUV after the Edge was discontinued Five trim levels are available, from good-value Zetec to luxurious Vignale This Titanium model should prove popular, having plenty of features All models get alloy wheels and LED daytime running lights Sporty ST-Line models have racier styling than the Zetec or Titanium models All Ford Kugas get an eight-inch touchscreen All but Zetec trims get dual-zone climate control and keyless entry Sat nav is included, along with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and DAB radio Connecting your phone is easy to do The menu screens have been redesigned to bring them up-to-date The screen uses tiles like you'd find on a smartphone All Kugas get voice control so you don't have to take your hand off the wheel The seat design varies depending on the trim level, but our Titanium-spec car's were a little flat for our liking Most Ford Kugas come with a six-speed manual gearbox Even high-spec models have some blank buttons, but the buttons shown here turn off the start-stop and let you cycle through different driving modes Every car gets an electric handbrake and lots of cubbies Titanium cars and above get an upgraded B&O sound system The new Ford Kuga is more spacious in the back than the last car The boot space is generous although some rivals beat the Kuga's carrying capacity There's not much of a lip to haul shopping over Folding the rear seats down creates a flat and practical load area Cars in Titanium spec and above get LED headlights, but these are the upgraded ones you get in the Driver Assistance pack ST-Line, Titanium and Vignale models all get different grille designs All models get alloy wheels, ranging from 17-19 inches in size The Driver Assistance pack also adds front and rear cameras, among other features LED tail-lights are fitted as standard The diesel engine with electrical assistance has a hybrid badge, although you'll only notice it cutting in when you're slowing to a stop
