The revised Kuga will hit the market next year, just in time to fight the Volkswagen Tiguan compact SUV, which will also receive a mid-life makeover for next year. The revised Kuga is expected to make its world debut at next year’s Geneva Auto Show, with the SUV to reach showroom floors shortly after that.
Our spy photographers have caught a Ford Kuga test vehicle during a road driving session, with the vehicle wearing pre-production parts that offer us an image of the upcoming makeover.
The vehicle’s front fascia will receive a set of changes aimed at making the car more aggressive and offer it more of an “off-road” look (please notice the quotes). The automotive producer will use the same treatment for the rear fascia.
Yesterday, Ford’s UK arm announced that the Kuga range has received additional engines that offer increased efficiency, coming with enhancements both in the performance and the emissions areas.
The Kuga received the 2.0 liter Duratorq TDCI diesel unit that delivers 140 hp, as well as the beefed up version of the powerplant, which puts 163 hp at the driver’s disposal. In addition to that, the PowerShift six speed dual clutch automatic transmission is now offered for the entire range of all-wheel drive models. The updates will be available starting from August.
