The Kuga has never offered seven seats but that’s true of many of its closest rivals. Instead, the Kuga is a spacious five-seater with a big boot. However, you’ll probably not notice the difference, and with the rear seats in place the new car has a much bigger boot than before.

What was the problem with the Old Ford Kuga?

Thankfully, Ford has listened to these complaints and improved things dramatically.

Is the Ford Kuga a good car to buy?

However, this is a large bodied car and it does remain my belief that small engines do not work well in large cars, therefore if buying one do NOT go for anything below the 2 Litre 180PS diesel engine variant which comes with a double clutch auto box (the 150PS auto is an old unit and is terrible in gear changes).
