Under the “One Ford” strategy, the new Kuga crossover for the European market will be virtually identical to the 2013 Escape that was shown at the 2011 Los Angeles International Auto Show. Today, Ford Europe announced the brand new Kuga will be shown at the Geneva Motor Show next week, ahead of its market launch.
Slight cosmetic changes should include body colored bumpers and even a change of wheels from the US-made Escape.
The engine range will start with the same 1.6 Ecoboost with 173 hp (175 ps) and 2.0-liter EcoBoost with a more respectable 237 hp (240 PS) and 250 lb-ft of torque. But the European range will also offer frugal diesel engines that the US range doesn’t have.
We have reason to believe that the new Mondeo, basically the same car as the new US-market Fusion sedan, will also show in Geneva.
autoevolution will be attending the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, so stay tuned for some real up close and personal shots of the vehicles, as well as for first-hand details of the motorized contraptions presented at the event.
