We hear that Ford is making the all-new Escape cheaper than the old one in America, so we expect many great things from its European brother. This Focus on off-roading steroids will arrive later this year in Europe, powered by the new 1.6 and 2.0 Ecoboost engines that are more efficient than the old generation 2.0-liter aspirated and 2.5-liter turbo engines, not to mention a bit more powerful.
The European market crossover is also being launched with a 2.0-liter TDCi diesel unit that comes in two versions, offering 140 or 163 hp. Later this year, the 1.6-liter turbo with 175 hp will also become available.
"Innovative technologies like the hands-free automatic tailgate clearly set new Kuga apart from its competitors," said Ford of Europe's chairman and CEO, Stephen Odell. "But more importantly they provide customers with everyday advantages. All-new Kuga is more spacious, dynamic and capable than the current model, which continues to be popular with our European customers."
