Advantages and disadvantages of the 2018-2019 Ford Kuga in a new body revealed based on reviews real owners... More detailed pros and cons Ford Kuga 2 generations 2.5 and 1.5 turbo with automatic, front and four-wheel drive 4x4 can be learned from the stories below:
Owner reviews
The car is comfortable for long distances over 1,000 km per day. We drove both on highways and on military dirt roads, climbed along talus roads into the mountains (no extreme) - Kuga 2 drives confidently, drives up when sliding, when stopping on a reverse slope, it does not go back, you can move calmly as if on a level one.
Up to 140 km / h, the speed is not particularly felt, it becomes noisy faster and vibrations appear, but the course holds confidently at 160. The car is generally balanced, it has no frankly weak points.
The turbocharged engine pulls quite briskly in the city, for sharp overtaking there is Sport on the highway, or a button for a low one.
The suspension is more urban on country roads, you will not go quickly, it will pass through virgin fields, along rainy forest roads, along a flat beach, it drives nicely. For 30,000 km, nothing has arisen, the interval between maintenance is 15,000 km. General impression- a typical urban crossover: comfortable, vigorous, with its own pleasant little things.
But at the same time, I do not like the layout: the body is narrow, high and elongated (compared to classmates). The wide front pillar blocks the side view, the mirrors do not fold completely and end up sticking out, there is illumination of the legs for some reason, but there is no illumination of the glove compartment, on the tailgate there is a closing handle on only one side, so with a busy right hand you need to contrive to close and the move is pretty hard, a weak woman will have to hang on it.

You can switch the speed on the automatic box in manual mode. Very comfortable seats, you get into the car like a spacecraft. Nice flat square volume luggage compartment with the rear seats folded down.
Ford Kuga II holds the road perfectly, the car is very maneuverable when driving around the city. And it's very cool to refuel gasoline: I opened the flap and there are no plugs, put the pistol in and took out the pistol, clean and comfortable.
Gasoline consumption fell after 40,000 km, sharply, the car began to consume 2 liters less gasoline. It's strange why such a long break-in period? In rainy weather, the trunk does not open from the foot on the first try. The doors also sometimes (very rarely) do not open on the first attempt with keyless access.
Yes, for some reason the side windows get dirty very quickly in the rain. There was only one complaint - after 35,000 km, the motor cooling bypass failed, it was changed under warranty, despite the fact that I never came to MOT, I changed the oil and filter myself.

Video review
Very comfortable and pleasant to drive a car, many options, a gorgeous panoramic roof, excellent bi-xenon, a very convenient famous door that opens with a foot, excellent seats, which proved to be very good on long trips (1,300 km without stopping, you can safely drive), good materials interior trim, decent dynamics, good brakes, very good insulation, comfortable suspension, sharp steering wheel, the car is comfortable at speeds up to 200 km / h.
But there are also jambs: the box beeps, pushes and kicks, steering rack knocks and asks for replacements, the defenders crunch, rubbed the saber in back door holes to metal, keyless access falls off, music - full g .., steering column clicks, the speedometer is crooked, the hood vibrates at idle, the tailgate opens and then no longer, something squeaks, taps, rattles, the tire pressure monitoring system does not work, the washer level sensor too ...
In addition to this, I was faced with a complete reluctance of official dealers to do anything within the framework of their warranty obligations. Complete from the word "absolutely". Tightly frostbitten guys. And he received the same attitude from the head Russian Ford ...

Where can I buy?
After being taken away, we drove the first 200 km - the average consumption showed 8.6 liters. In the city, the consumption with all the warm-ups and idling showed 13.9 liters. It's a smooth ride.
You understand, while I run in, I do not force it. The departure was out of town, along a distance of 200 km one way - the flow rate showed already 7.3 liters. I pour gasoline on the 92nd, the seller advised only to drive the 92nd, I don't know how much is correct, what are you pouring in?
Now the mileage is already in the region of 900 km. The car warms up very quickly, 5-10 minutes and the temperature arrow goes up. It feels like this is not a car, but an airplane, it is quiet, calm and comfortable inside. The seats also warm up very quickly.
Another big plus, which was paid attention to, is the blowing of the rear passengers. On the Kuga, it has a plus for heated legs. In my opinion, there is no CX-5. We carry the child in the back. Another plus is the tilt-adjustable rear seats.
I started the car even at -30 degrees (after 12 hours of inactivity), there are no hints at all that the Kuga will not start. The salon is warm, and in the current frosts I sit loosely in a T-shirt.
About handling - generally a thrill. There is no ice or snow porridge between the stripes. When overtaking everything is smooth and calm, you sit high, the visibility is excellent. Rubber is Nokia 5 R17 (received as a gift from the salon).
Review of Ford Kuga 1.5 turbo (150 hp) with automatic and all-wheel drive 2018
I will compare Kugu with my former Suzuki Grand Vitara. Exterior. Like the front. Still, the muzzle adorned this unit. I do not like the previous body (some kind of squinted in front). From the side, nothing has changed, indifferent. The rear has changed a little for the better.
Salon. The width on the front row is the same as on the Suzuki. The seats are more comfortable. I settled down right away, the lumbar support is good, as well as the lateral support. The right leg does not get tired.
Wind windshield heated is a wonderful thing, perhaps the most useful thing after the air conditioner. There is no need to wait for the engine to heat up, and when, in turn, warm air heats up the glass, which means it is not necessary to make ridiculous movements with the scraper.
It is quite spacious under the hood, but the neck for the washer is a little higher centimeters - it would be more convenient. What I don't like is the lack of a dipstick for checking the oil in the automatic transmission.
Suspension. Compromise solution. I can assess it fairly objectively, since every day I go to and from work on the same path (road). In those places where I remembered everyone, starting with the road workers and ending with our supreme power, with bad words, now I fly by imperceptibly, well, or almost imperceptibly.
Engine. I got what I wanted. Simple volumetric aspirated. Someone may not have enough traction, but a wave is enough for me, and in extreme cases there is a sport mode. That's just servicing (changing the oil) it is necessary every 15,000 km. For me, sheer blasphemy.
The owner drives a Ford Kuga 2.5 (150 hp) AT AWD 2016
I have standard equipment, but it has everything you need. Front-wheel drive. The car holds perfectly and a dry road, and a large downpour with puddles. Someone wrote that Kuga does not eat rut - they lie! Ford normally digests it, any car will feel this lack of our roads. On a normal smear, outside the asphalt and after rain, the car drives confidently and does not grimace.
The handling of the Kuga is excellent and holds the turns perfectly, even on a circular path. There is no roll at high-speed approach! Do not listen to anyone, since I also read somewhere that lurch too much.
This is my first machine gun, and it seems to me that the mechanics would be faster. Gear shifting is slower than desired. Also frustrating is the expense. On the highway at a speed of 110-130 km / h, 9.5-10 liters are needed, and at 140-150 - already 10-11 liters. Around the city - 12 liters.

Dynamic crossover with striking design and excellent chassis characteristics of Ford Kuga has won the hearts of more than one motorist. But, before buying this handsome man, drivers want to know?
The model that the American brand has created for the European and CIS market in order to compete with Nissan Qashqai, first produced in Germany at the Ford Motors plant in Saarlouis. But the growing demand of Russian consumers made the manufacturer think about the start of car assembly in the Russian Federation. The famous car brand chose the Sollers plant in Yelabuga (Republic of Tatarstan), where some of its models are made.
Where and how is Ford Kuga assembled in Russia
Assembly started in 2012 first Ford Kuga in Yelabuga. This is not the first model of the American brand to roll off the assembly line of a local plant. The successful production of other Fords has also been established here: Tourneo, Explorer, S-Max, Galaxy, Transit, EcoSport 2015.
A year later, in 2013, the company began production of the second generation of the popular model using a full cycle technology: body welding, painting, final assembly. It is these cars that travel on domestic roads and neighboring countries. And they are not inferior in quality to their counterparts created on the European conveyor.
It is known that the value of a car depends on who collects it. Russian production Ford Kuga did its job: the price of the crossover was quite affordable.
The model pleased the consumer with everything: spectacular design, economical engine, high-quality interior trim. Still would! After all, the Tatar conveyor, where Ford Kuga is assembled for Russia, fully complies with the standards of the auto brand. Every detail goes through several stages of control - to guarantee the impeccable quality of the crossover loved by many.
Russian version of the Ford Kuga. What is she
The current Ford Kuga model is equipped with gasoline engines the EcoBoost series with a volume of 1.6 liters. They give out from 150 to 185 hp, and are aggregated with a six-speed automatic or mechanical transmission... But, in 2014, the lineup was replenished with another engine - a 2.5-liter gasoline unit. A version with a diesel engine is also presented: a 140-horsepower Duratorq engine is paired with a six-speed "robot" PowerShift.
The manufacturer calls the crossover the "smartest" in its history and invites motorists to appreciate the mass of electronic assistants and innovative technologies.
But, in practice, the local assembly of the Ford Kuga still has flaws: the turbine needs repair after a couple of hundred kilometers, and the suspension is “naughty” when the “speed bumps” pass.
Second Ford generation Kuga for the US market is manufactured in Louisville (USA).
A world-renowned automaker, Ford is implementing a unified quality control and standardization system at all of its manufacturing plants. The main European plant for the production of American cars located in Saarlouis (Germany). The Americans started building the plant in 1996. It is considered one of the largest engineering complexes in Germany. The plant employs about 6.5 thousand workers and more than a thousand robots, all of them work in three shifts. Every day 1650 machines of different models are assembled at the enterprise by joint efforts. Almost 80% of all assembled cars are sent for export to more than eighty countries around the world, including New Zealand and Australia. But, many Russian motorists are interested in where FordKuga is assembled for the Russian Federation?
Assembling the model for Russia
The first generation Ford Kuga for Russian consumers was assembled in 2012 at an enterprise in Elabuga (Republic of Tatarstan). And in 2013, the second generation rolled off the assembly line American crossover.
Ford Kuga assembly plant for Russian market also produces:
- FordTransit
- FordExplorer
- FordTourneo
- FordS-Max
- FordGalaxy
- FordEcoSport 2015.
However, it was the Kuga model that Russian motorists received warmth, because in addition to the low cost price (due to production in the Russian Federation), each potential owner is waiting for a car with low fuel consumption and a modern, aggressive design.
In the Russian segment, this American crossover is in great demand. Since, machines that meet all quality control standards come off the Tatarstan conveyor. The components and materials with which the Kuga is equipped are checked many times before assembly.
But, even in the case of this model, car owners cannot avoid minor problems. Ford Kuga Russian assembly noticed some faults in the electronics:
- errors occur that can drown the engine
- the turbine will have to be repaired after traveling several hundred kilometers
- the crossover has suspension problems.
For our consumers, Kuga cars were equipped with a 2-liter diesel engine with capacities to choose from - 140 and 163 Horse power... Also, there are crossovers with a petrol 1.6-liter power plant(175 hp). In the basic version, the car is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. And additional options include a six-speed robotic gearbox with double clutch... For the Russian buyer, both all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive models are available. Each vehicle has independent suspension and variable power steering. As additional options, the manufacturer offers:
- a roof with a panoramic view
- leather interior trim
- automatic braking system
- automatic valet
- heated windshield
- navigator and rear view camera
- eight-inch touchscreen multimedia system
- xenon and more.
