About the Ford Kuga Mk2
The second-generation Ford Kuga, launched in 2013, was a key part of Ford's global strategy to align its European and North American SUV line-ups, sharing its platform with the US-market Escape. The 2016 model year represents the peak of the pre-facelift and early facelift transition, offering a refined 2.0-litre TDCi diesel engine that balanced efficiency with adequate torque for towing. Titanium trim was the popular mid-to-high specification, featuring the SYNC infotainment system and improved interior materials over the base Zetec. While it faced stiff competition from the Nissan Qashqai, the Kuga was often praised by critics for having superior steering feel and more engaging driving dynamics than its rivals.
