FORD Kuga 2008 - 2012

FORD Kuga (2008 - 2012) Description & History: Ford Kuga officially entered mass-production in mid-2008, with Ford's Saarlouis, Germany production plant the only facility to build the new model. Although it is especially designed for the European market, there were a couple of rumors indicating that Ford is considering bringing the compact crossover into the United States, but no report has been ever confirmed. However, Kuga has always been regarded as a potential competitor for Citroen C-Crosser and Vauxhall/Opel Antara, being available at similar prices, about 20,500 pounds in UK, and providing almost the same engine performance and fuel consumption (rated at 44.1 mpg).
