Compact SUV Ford Kuga 2nd generation released on Russian market in March 2013, built on a modified platform Ford Focus 3. So, almost all the suspension elements of the crossover are "our own", at the same time the chassis configuration is familiar: in the front - MacPherson struts, in the back - a multi-link. Ford engineers have endowed the Kugu with a proprietary plug-in all-wheel drive system called Active Torque Coupling. This scheme is based on a basic front drive and a rear axle coupled with a multi-plate clutch. Maximum backward is sent up to 50% of the torque, and the exact dosage is determined by the control unit, which takes into account the readings of many sensors. A feature of this 4WD system, also used on the Ford Explorer, is that it connects rear axle at the moment when it considers it necessary, without waiting for slippage.
The range of engines of the Russian Ford Kuga, assembled in Tatarstan, has undergone changes more than once during its presence on the market. Today, the crossover has the following gasoline engines:
- 2.5 Duratec 150 hp, 230 Nm - a classic, time-tested "atmospheric" Japanese design.
- 1.6 EcoBoost 150 HP, 240 Nm - turbo engine with direct injection and phase change system on both shafts.
- 1.6 EcoBoost 182 hp, 240 Nm - analog of a 150-horsepower turbo unit with other program settings. It has increased power and a wider torque range of 1600-5000 rpm (for a 150 hp engine, the upper limit is at 4000 rpm).
From the start of sales in the arsenal of the SUV there was diesel unit Duratorq 2.0 with 140 hp output and a torque of 320 Nm. Subsequently, the motor fell out of the range of available power plants.
Two types of gearboxes were assigned to the Ford Kuga engines - a 6-speed "mechanics" and a 6-band "automatic" with the factory index 6F35. Mechanical transmission designed only for the "turbo four" 1.6 EcoBoost 150 hp, while the automatic is combined with any of the engines. The version with a 2.5-liter "aspirated" is available only in a front-wheel drive configuration.
In terms of fuel economy latest motors EcoBoost looks a little more preferable. The front-wheel drive version with 6MKPP stands out, consuming about 6.8 l / 100 km in the combined cycle. The fuel consumption of Ford Kuga 2.5 according to the passport is 8.1 liters.

Prices and configurations Ford Kuga
Price in 2015 for Kuga seems to have stopped jumping, although it is quite possible that the cost of the car may change, because the economic situation in Russia is unpredictable. Therefore, let's talk about the current, for today, the price of the Ford Kuga. The basic configuration of the Kuga TREND has only one version with an atmospheric 2.5-liter engine, automatic and front-wheel drive. For this configuration they ask for 1,349,000 rubles, but if you use bonuses for utilization, trade-in and other preferences, then you can buy a car cheaper.
The next version of TREND PLUS will delight you with a variety of transmissions and engines, but the price starts at 1,429,000 rubles without taking into account all kinds of discounts. The most expensive version of the TITANIUM PLUS with a turbo engine of 182 hp. will cost you 1,949,000, with a diesel engine the price of Kuga in this configuration exceeds 2 million rubles! In general, one hope for all kinds of discounts and promotions, without which the purchase this car in 2015 can be very expensive.
Quick jump to sections
Have updated Ford Kuga has changed the shape of the hood, the headlights and the radiator grill have become slightly different. Taillights changed the shape of the sections, which may be important for fans of the model, but of course, this did not affect the technical characteristics of the restyled Ford Kuga. The main changes that have occurred in the car relate to its electronic filling.
Like others, Kuga is equipped with a turbo engine of the EcoBoost family, in this case, its volume is 1.5 liters, and the power is 182 hp, as well as an automatic transmission. This is the option that is sold in Russia. If Ford cars have enemies, then they do not like it lately, first of all, for the interior design solution. Indeed, the center console is made in such a way that it literally runs into the driver. But dashboard can not help but like it. The steering wheel is grippy, quite comfortable and easily adjustable because it is adjustable in two directions, and the devices can be called sports at all. At Kug they are the same as at the "Focus", sunk in two wells.
Interior innovations
A new control unit appeared on the steering wheel, thanks to which the new Ford Kuga received adaptive cruise control and the ability to track the lane. Moreover, the car can even steer a little if the driver is distracted and does not closely follow the lane.
Video: new Kuga on the road
The center console of the new Ford Kuga now has a full-fledged large screen and a modern multimedia system Sync 3 with voice control. Navigation system and maps - in Russian. The screen is touch-sensitive, however, individual functions can be operated using buttons. Not without "relics of the past" - on the center console, temperature indicators, as before, are green. A clear tribute to tradition, indicating that this is an American car.
Ford Kuga captivates with huge space for rear passengers. Even when pushed back front seat knee space - more than enough. There is no tunnel under the feet of the passenger sitting in the center of the second row, which means that the three of us will be comfortable sitting on the back sofa. In addition, the rear passengers have an adjustable backrest tilt, armrest and door pockets. An interesting detail: glass in back doors go down to the very bottom, which is not found on all cars. This is another reason why young families choose the new Ford Kuga. If you add a few more fashion options to it and slightly freshen up the design, then the car will sell even better.
Dimensions and other dimensions of Ford Kuga:
- Length: 4524 mm;
- Width: 2077 mm, with mirrors folded 1838 mm;
- Height: 1689 mm, with roof rails 1703 mm;
- Wheelbase: 2690 mm;
- Turning circle: 11.1 m;
- Fuel tank volume: 60 liters;
- Trunk volume: 484 liters, lowered rear seats 1653 liters.
Overhangs and clearance allow
When a crossover is bought, especially an all-wheel drive one, its owner wants to believe that his car will be able to drive at least moderate off-road conditions. For this, the Ford Kuga has the prerequisites. In particular, its overhangs are short, so that during a test drive the car moved without problems over hilly fields.
The curious thing is. Any modern crossover is full of various electronic assistants. In particular, an assistant when descending the mountain today is, it would seem, on every crossover. Alas, for some reason it was not on the updated Ford Kuga. I had to go down the old fashioned way, that is, on the brakes. It's not scary on a dry hillock, but when you have to drive down slippery slopes, the electronic assistant would even come in handy.

Another question is to what extent the new Kuga is suitable for driving to the top of one or another hill. On the first issues of Kugah there was a Haldex coupling, but then Ford company decided to save money and started developing all-wheel drive systems on her own. They coped with the task and their system works well. The only question is: why does it not have a clutch lock button so that, if necessary, the driver could force the all-wheel drive to be permanent? By the way, there is no disabling the ESP system here, and off-road it helps a lot.
Nevertheless, the new Ford Kuga is capable of conquering the roller coaster well. Still, his motor is good, and besides, it works in tandem with a real machine. The car easily enters the top of any hillock. In places where the car is posted, it is triggered traction control, the torque is transferred to the wheels that have traction with the ground, and the car successfully drives up.
About steering
What motorists have always liked the Ford Kuga is handling. New ford Kuga has retained this dignity and the restyled model is still unmatched. This is especially felt on the version where it acts as a checkpoint full-fledged machine... its presence is especially valuable off-road, but it also demonstrates its advantages well on asphalt. The box does everything it needs quickly enough, especially in Sport mode.
Video: how the all-wheel drive system works on the Ford Kuga
However, a different feature appears in the sport mode. Sitting down in the car with the usual movement, you switch the selector lever down and immediately enter the Sport mode, and the fuel consumption in this mode is such that it easily reaches the level of 16 liters. However, the sport mode itself is wonderful. It also has an instant response to pressing the pedal, there is also a pick-up, but the emptying of the gas tank occurs at an alarming rate. However, as soon as the lever is shifted up, the mode will change to the usual "Drive", after which the character of the car changes significantly. The pickup is no longer the same, but the fuel consumption is reduced to 12 liters "per hundred" of the run.
Overview of the disadvantages of the Ford Kuga
One of the main features of the updated Ford Kuga is the new Sync 3 multimedia. big screen There are no questions, but now her new map is very difficult to figure out. In particular, if you want to return to the main menu from the navigation, it is rather difficult to do this.
By the way, there was also a disconnection in the multimedia system. Traction Control that I wanted to do so, but failed during a test drive off-road. The fact is that in most cars this disconnection is very simple: by pressing a single button. You couldn't think of it better. For example, while driving, when the driver sees that there is dirt in front of him. In this case, he presses the desired button and the ESP system is instantly deactivated. As soon as the dirt is left behind, the driver activates the system using the same button.
On the new Kuga, this functionality is much more complicated. The owner of the crossover has to climb into the menu, make five or six movements there before he gets to the desired option, and only after that he will be able to turn off the stabilization system. Why are there such difficulties?
Under the hood of the new Kuga
In Russia, Ford Kuga is sold with gasoline engine"EcoBust", with a volume of one and a half liters and a capacity of 180 hp. There is also a second motor - this is a well-known, time-tested aspirated engine. its working volume is 2.5 liters, and the power is 150 hp. It works in tandem with a machine gun. Why is this motor good? It is, of course, much more reliable, since it does not have a turbine. On the other hand, while driving, he is very slow and the car, as they say, does not go with him. If there is EcoBoost under the hood, the dynamics of the car is completely different.
Two versions of the new Ford Kuga:
- Engine: EcoBoost, displacement 1.5 liters, turbocharged, power 182 hp, torque 240 Nm. Drive: either full or front, gearbox: 6-speed automatic.
- Engine: gasoline aspirated, displacement 2.5 liters, power 150 hp Drive: front only.
Options and prices
The test drive showed that the updated Ford Kuga has changed, in general, not much, which has twofold consequences. With one of them, the good thing is that the car's handling and its cross-country ability have been preserved. On the other hand, some electronic chips of the updated model will not really appeal to future owners. Although, of course, the decisive factor, as usual, will be the price. There is hope that flexible price policy Ford will continue with the new Coogee. By the way, the following question may arise: where is the Ford Kuga assembled? In Yelabuga, where the Russian plant of the Ford company is located.

The novelty is offered in four levels of equipment:
- 1,379 million rubles. there is a restyled version of the Kuga in the Trend version. This is the basic configuration, and therefore it is not worth waiting for it much. Under the hood there will be a 2.5-liter engine, and the drive will only go to the front axle. However, the crossover will have both ESP and ABS, which has become mandatory today. The driver will have a range of assistants designed for situations such as emergency braking and starting off on an incline. Moreover, the electronics will help the driver to control traction in corners, as well as prevent possible rollover on tight bends.
- Trend Plus will be slightly better at a price of 1,469 million rubles. Here the buyer will receive a car with a turbocharged EcoBoost, and most importantly, he will have the opportunity to choose the type of drive: either front or full.
- Next comes the Titanium package with a price tag starting at 1.559 million rubles. Anyone who buys such a version will have the opportunity to choose an engine: either a good old aspirated engine, or a brand new EcoBoost with a turbocharger.
- The model line is crowned by the Titanium Plus version, which costs almost 2 million rubles. It will feature all the innovations described above, such as Sync 3 multimedia, as well as a parking lot and a "wave your foot" opening of the trunk.
