Trend Basic equipment includes air conditioning, CD audio system with 6 speakers and steering on the steering wheel, 17-inch steel discs with decorative caps, fog lights. The engine is started with a button, and glass and side mirrors (heated and rotation pointers) are controlled by the electric drive. The version of Trend Plus will add to the equipment two-zone climate control, windshield heating and front seats, adjusting the driver's seat lumbar stop, alarm with perimeter sensors and volumes, silver roof rails. The crossover in this configuration also has a tint on the rear glasses and 17-inch alloy wheels. Titanium equipment will offer Keyless Entry invoice access system, rain and light sensors, Sony multifunctional audio system with voice control Ford Sync, combined seats finishing with cloth and leather, cruise control. The most equipped is the version of Titanium Plus. It includes 18-inch alloy wheels, bixenon headlights, panoramic electric roof, leather seats, navigation system, rear view camera. Here are available features such as the background lighting of the cabin (7 colors), the opening system of the Hands-Free trunk and active assistance in parking.
The car is offered with three engines: the two gasoline turbo travels of the EcoBoost family (150 and 180 hp), as well as a 2-liter turbodiesel DURATORQ (140 hp). 1,6-liter motor power 150 hp It can be aggregated with a 6-speed MCP or a 6-band "robot" PowerShift, other power units - only with PowerShift. The basic version on the "mechanics" is available exclusively with the front actuator, while other modifications have an intelligent four-wheel drive. In addition to these motors, since 2014, buyers are offered a 2.5-liter 150-strong power unit, combined with an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.
Independent McPherson Front Suspension and Multi-Layer Rear still remain a constant feature Ford Kuga. And in this generation. The chassis, together with the optimized stiffness of the suspension, provides a car good sports deposit. KUGA is equipped with an electric power steering system (EPAS), which allows not only to save fuel, but also changes the reaction to the steering wheel depending on the speed of movement: less effort will be required in the parking lot, when driving at high speed, the system will provide more acute steering. The 197 mm clearance declared in the characteristics will allow the driver to confidently feel the conditions of light off-road. The intelligent full drive system (AWD) is activated only at the time of necessity and redistributes the traction force between the wheels in such a way that it transmits to each wheel exactly the moment that is necessary to ensure maximum clutch with the road.
Ford Kuga Security Base is an intelligent security system (IPS). In addition to the rigid and heavy-duty body frame, the car has a regular equipment of the 7 security pillow, an electronic course stability system (ESP), an ISOFIX attachment, an anti-lock system (ABS), along with the brake force distribution system (EBD), an assistance system at the start-up. In case of emergency braking, automatic an alarm is turned on. Optionally available automatic braking technology Active City Stop, creating an additional security factor in urban conditions.
In addition to the introduction of a variety of "smart technologies" and improving security, in the new generation Ford. Kuga made a bet on small gasoline engines created using EcoBoost technology, making it possible to squeeze as greater power from the volume. However, at the same time, a fairly reasonable approach to buying requests was made and a fairly reasonable approach to buying requests - for example, a conservative version with a 2.5-liter atmospheric gasoline engine of the DURATEC series, which is considered one of the most reliable in the Ford line, can be said in the Russian market.
The first generation of the city crossover from the German division Ford, released in 2008, was perceived by consumers quite restrained, the car did not become bestseller. Causes can be sought and disassembled for a long time, but we will not do this, since all this has already done the manufacturer himself, in detail who studied all his shortcomings and attempted to correct them when creating a second generation Ford Cuga 2013 model year.
Dimensions Ford Kuga 2013
To begin with, consider the overall characteristics of Ford Cuga 2013. The updated SUV began to look more adulthood and aggressively, which contributed not only to the modernization of head optics, bumper and radiator lattice, but also a change in the dimensions of the car. Thus, with the same with the previous generation of a wheel base equal to 2690 mm, the crossover of the second generation has become longer by 81 mm (up to 4524 mm), but at the same time it became 8 mm already (1702 mm) and 4 mm below (1838 mm). Ford Kug 2013 has a clearance increased by 10 mm and now constitutes an impressive 198 mm.
Ford Kug 2013 also offers more spacious luggage compartment Compared with the previous generation (it increased by 46 liters and is 456 liters, and with a folded rear seats - a total of 1653 liters), which is equipped with an electric door with an electric drive, but also a unique Hands FREE system. To open the trunk, you will not have to pack your hands or shoes, it is enough just to spend your foot under the rear bumper. It should be noted that the work of the sensor installed there does not fit even the plump dirt or snow.
Engines and transmission Ford Kuga 2013
Gamma of power units installed on new crossover, consists of two gasoline and two diesel engines, in the development of which engineers paid special attention to the issue of efficiency.
Gasoline engines belong to the family of modern Fords EcoBoost, equipped with turbochargers, direct fuel injection systems and systems regulating the gas distribution phases:
- A 150-strong 1.6-liter power unit has a maximum torque of 240 nm and is able to overclock the crossover to 100 km / h in 9.7 seconds at a maximum speed of 195 km / h. Fuel consumption 100 kilometers is 8.3 liters in cities and 5.6 liters beyond. True, these indicators are characteristic of a monolarified version with a mechanical transmission. With the same engine, but if there is a full drive and automatic gearbox in Ford Cuga 2013, the technical characteristics look like this: overclocking up to hundreds - 10.7 seconds; Maximum speed limited to electronics - 192 km / h; Fuel consumption when moving around the city - 10.2 liters per 100 kilometers of the way, on the highway - 6.3 liters;
- A 182-strong 1.6-liter engine has a maximum torque of 240 nm and provides overclocking to hundreds in 9.7 seconds, and the maximum speed that it allows you to develop, is 200 km / h. Fuel consumption in the conditions of the metropolis reaches 10.2 liters per 100 kilometers of the journey, and it is reduced to 6.3 liters beyond.
Diesel engines relate to the DuratorQ TDCI turbocharged motors company:
- A 140-strong 2.0-liter power unit develops the maximum torque of 320 nm and allows you to develop speed up to 187 km / h, providing overclocking to hundreds in 11.2 seconds. Fuel consumption when moving around the city is 7.3 liters per 100 kilometers, on the highway - 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers;
- A 163-strong 2.0-liter engine has a maximum torque of 340 nm and accelerates Ford Cuga crossover to 100 km / h in 10.4 seconds. Maximum speed limited to electronics at 196 km / h. Fuel consumption in the city is about 7.4 liters per 100 kilometers, outside the city - 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers.
Gasoline power units operate in a pair with a six-speed mechanical or with a six-speed automatic transmission, for diesel engines there is either the same mechanical transmission or robotic PowerShift.
Innovative solutions in Ford Kuga 2013
To begin with, we note the robotic PowerShift gearbox, which is capable of choosing the following transmission in advance, minimizing power losses and speed when switching. Extremely fast and soft transition from one transmission to another makes the car control incredibly pleasant, and also provides significant fuel savings and reduce the number of harmful emissions into the atmosphere. At the same time, the intelligent system itself selects the optimal transmission, depending on the current situation. For example, when performing overtaking, it may include reduced transmission, due to which a high power is provided for faster acceleration and securely complete the maneuver.
When controlling the Ford Kuga crossover mechanical gearbox Extremely useful can be the gear indicator located on dashboard. It determines the optimal moment to go to the next transmission, thanks to which the car trip becomes more economical.
Another innovative system aimed at saving fuel was named Ford Eco Mode. It takes into account the speed with which the car is moving, the most frequently selected programs, braking maneru, the duration of trips and other factors based on which gives advice to reduce fuel consumption in accordance with the style of driving a particular driver.
The intellectual system of the full drive, which is equipped with Ford Cuga New 2013 model year, has time to estimate the situation on the road for a period of time that a person needs to blink with the eye. In this case, there is a constant redistribution of torque between wheels to ensure optimal controllability and maximum adhesion with the roadpapers. It is worth noting that the system is activated only when it is really necessary, therefore, on relatively smooth and direct areas of the road, the crossover is actually in front-wheel drive mode, due to which it is possible to achieve substantial fuel economy.
The driver's invaluable assistance also has the Curve Control systems, which compares the actual velocity velocity of the car with the right point at a particular point and adjusts it in case of deviation from the norm. This is done on the basis of information obtained from car speed sensors, lateral roll, transverse acceleration, wheel speed and power rotation angle. All data are analyzed for a hundred times every month, and if the trajectory of motion is incorrect, Curve Control begins to adjust it by producing each of the wheels separately by attaching various brake efforts to them. When you enter the rotation at too high speed, this system is capable of dropping at about 16 km / h every second.
Ford engineers fruitfully worked over the question of reducing noise from the road and wind, as a result of which the second generation kuga salon can safely qualify for one of the quietest in its class. It was possible to achieve this by using a special aerodynamic design of lateral mirrors, more rigid door frames, new seals, thicker glasses and upgrades of chassis components. Defect noise and turbulence also contributes to a special CLIMAIR deflector, which allows not to close the windows on the front doors even during the rain.

KUGA premium equipment offered in Russia at a price of 1,425,000 rubles.
Also note that every equipment of the KUGA car is characterized by a high degree of security. The novelty is equipped with the full program. In the cabin there are already 7 airbags, ISOFIX fastening for children's seats, as well as three-point belts. And it is not surprising, because on the EURO NCAP tests, the crossover received five stars for safety.
In addition to the presented Ford Cuga 2013, you can also watch a vigorolyol with a test drive of this car:
Ford Kuga was presented at the General Public Court for the Geneva Automobile Salon. This is the first mid-sized crossover from Ford. The platform for it was served by the chassis time from Focus-II. Appearance KUGA The embodiment of the company "kinetic design" of the company Ford. The modern exterior is one of the competitive advantages of this model. The car is largely similar to the IOSIS-X concept car, shown in 2006 at the exhibition in Paris. Kuga retained the proportions and expressive items from IOSIS X design: the same wheels and spectacular wheel arches. Acute elements and rapid profile make a sports note in the design of the crossover. When creating a serial vehicle, the IOSIS X concept-kara IOSIS X roof profile has been changed to create a higher silhouette and comfortable placement of five people.
The interior of the Ford Kuga creates a feeling of space. There are even big panoramic options. glass roof. Possessing an ergonomic design dashboard and a central stand are moving to a bulk central console with a large storage space. These interior components create a comfortable environment for the driver and front passenger. High seats and position of the belt line provide the maximum area of \u200b\u200bglazing to create a light cabin and visibility for the driver. Passengers in the back range will find a lot of space above their heads and for feet, but the threesome landing will require the constraint of passengers. The front seats for the driver and the passenger are sufficiently solid and have a good profile. Light rear seat transformation in a ratio of 60:40 allows you to quickly increase the luggage compartment. Access to a fairly large trunk can be obtained through a separate back door.
Partners in the concern helped the all-wheel drive transmission. Volvo contributed to the full drive system with Haldex coupling. It can be sent to the back axis of the car up to 50% of the torque when necessary, but most of the time KUGA goes as a front-wheel drive car. High clearance in combination with an angle of entry in 21 degrees and an angle of the congress of 25 degrees provides very worthy permeability.
There is a choice of three steering settings options. You can not change the settings on the go, you must stop to adjust the steering for a specific road situation. Transfering the steering setting to the "Sport" position you will receive even more reverse reaction on the steering wheel and control accuracy. It is noteworthy that Ford engineers managed to achieve such manageability without adding stiffness suspension.
In the line of power units, while only one diesel engine with technology COMMON RAIL. - 2.0 l / 136 hp Dynamics of acceleration from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 10.7 seconds. It is expected that Gamma Motors will be replenished with a 2.5 liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 197 hp. Gearbox - 6-speed mechanical transmission Durashift.
High security goals were the main priority for the developers of Ford Kuga. The safety of KUGA is the Ford Intelligent Protection System (IPS) containing the body frame with increased strength and resistance to collisions, the driver's help feature that helps keep control over the car, as well as functions that reduce the likelihood of injury when hitting.
The Ford IPS-applied in KUGA contains six airbags. Front and side airbags for the driver and front passenger, as well as side curtain type airbags to protect the head and shoulders are supplemented with seats preventing driver and passenger slippers from under seat belts and equipped with height-adjustable head restraints. Also, the front seats are equipped with pyrotechnic pretensioners of seat belts and load limiters. On the security tests Euro NCAP Ford Kuga received the best combination of ratings, providing a car on the highest level of the pedestal in a group of compact all-wheel drive SUVs. In addition to the five stars (the highest assessment) for protecting the driver and adult passengers, the car won four stars for the protection of passenger children and three stars for pedestrian protection.
A high three-star pedestrian protection rating is obtained due to a number of special functions and solutions in Ford Kuga. These decisions include the use of soft material in the construction of the bumper, the creation of an energy absorbing zone between the bumper, the front panel and the radiator, the introduction of separated headlights and the front wings of plastic, as well as the optimal shape of the hood.
Ford Kuga has already managed to visit Delta4 × 4 tuning studio, which specializes in finalizing all-wheel drive cars. The first thing the masters increased the clearance of the machine to 550 mm and installed new wheels. For special connoisseurs of tuning, huge 22-inch discs will be offered, drowning in ultra-low-level tires. The motor was not left without attention. After the work performed, the power of the serial 2.0-liter turbodiesel rose to 162 hp. and 380 nm.
Interestingly, Ford will not offer KUGA in the American market.
Ford Kuga 2nd generation 2013 model year was officially represented by Russian motorists in 2012 on MMAS. The crossover acquired a new appearance. The main features and lines remained unchanged, but the design itself was done more modern. Newly rushing expressive headlights are immediately striking, which look great with a large massive bumper and the whole front of the whole. Kuga began to look more solid and rapidly, in contrast to the predecessor.
The car added 81 mm in length, such a change made it possible to increase the volume of the luggage compartment by 82 liters. Other dimensions remained unchanged: width - 1842 mm, height - 1710 mm, wheelbase - 2690 mm, clearance 175 mm.
Ford Kuga Salon 2013 almost completely copies the internal decoration of Focus. Already familiar and convenient steering wheel with control buttons, dashboard from indicator control indicators, central console, basic buttons to control functions and options, and, of course, on-board computer. Noise insulation at a high level, therefore extraneous sounds practically do not penetrate inside.
In the first row, very comfortable seats with good adjustment in different directions, the rear rows of seats can also be adjusted for the greatest convenience, they can accommodate two and even three passengers with comfort. The quality of the salon assembly at a high level, as well as the materials used, the plastic is soft and pleasant to the touch.
The trunk has a volume of 450 liters, and with folded seats, the volume increases to 1928 liters. And the door of the luggage compartment is now completely open, you can also install an electric drive for the door of the trunk, then you can open and close it without help, having spent my foot under the rear bumper.
Motor line has changed much in comparison with the previous generation Kuga.Now it includes EcoBoost gasoline engines. Two 1.6 liter gasoline engines are offered, developing 150 and 182 horsepower. These KUGA units are available with a six-speed "machine" and "mechanics", with front and full drive. Diesel engines of two liters develop 140 and 163 hp respectively. As a result, before the first "hundred" KUGA with the most modest diesel engine is accelerated in 10.6 seconds. And overclocking at the 163-strong KUGA is another 0.7 seconds faster. Fuel efficiency indicators for the new model demonstrate a reduction in gasoline fuel consumption by 25%, and diesel - by 10%.
The model for the first time in Europe will be equipped with a developed Ford Global Intelligent Full Drive System (AWD) with a trajectory control system. An improved thrust control system will also be presented, providing better controllability in the class.
The Basic version of KUGA will include air conditioning, MP3 audio system, stabilization system, seven airbags, as well as front and rear door power windows. In the equipment of the top crossover included: 18-inch alloy wheels, bixenon headlights, panoramic roof, parking, navigation, rear view camera, electric heater with electrical controllers, leather insanity seats, SYNC multimedia system with voice control in Russian and climate control.
Also, for KUGA 2-generation, an Active City automatic braking system is available, which tracks the distance to the object in front of the machine and operates at a speed of up to 30 kilometers per hour, as well as the BLIS blind zone monitoring feature.
Choose a car
Ford Kuga is the "best selling" sacrifice of the company "Ford Motor Company" from the United States of America in Europe. It cannot be said that it turned out randomly, since, in particular, this model has become the "debut compact crossover" of Americans, who developed the local (German) separation "Ford of Europe".
If we speak for the domestic market, then the model does not have such good things, but it is not in a hurry to leave Russia. This version "SUV" appeared for the first time in 2008 and changed the Maverick ossellite model on the European market (which many know as "escape"). To speak honestly, "Maverick" was not very in demand. A total of 2 generations of such a crossover came out. The last time this vehicle survived restyling in March 2016. The whole range of Ford.
I generation (2008-2012)
For the first time, the vehicle was presented in the form of a Ford IOSIS X concept car. It happened back in 2006 during a car dealership held in the city of Paris. Next year, the Frankfurt exhibition presented a conceptual version of Ford Cuga of the 1st Family. In the formal order, Ford Kuga I was presented in 2008, in Geneva. Sell \u200b\u200bvehicles began in the same year.
Interestingly, the name of this car is consonant with the word "COUGAR", which is translated by the word "Cougar" - one of the names of the Puma.
It was such a feeling that everyone who just wanted could release a crossover (even the French model, despite the fact that these are not their stylistics). In reality it turned out that not all. Americans presented their vision of the first compact crossover. The basis for the novelty was the famous machines of Ford - and C-Max. Produced this car in Germany.
About the hero of our article can be said - "not past 100 years." Why? Because after the middle-sized Maverick has disappeared from the Russian market, the company's management did not prevent anything instead. There was no compact all-wheel drive machine. By the way, the version of Cuga was not designed to replace "Maverick" - it became his replacement.
Some consider American crossover Ford. Kuga alternative for a competitor. The Japanese car was able to gain peace on the market of small crossovers seriously and for a long time. I want to immediately say (maybe even a little disappear) that although Cuga can be in a rival for Qashqai, however, at the cost of a Japanese model, it can be withstanding any of the autocompany.
Interestingly, the Fords specialists did not try to compete with the compact crossover company. The company's management wanted to move to their side of lovers of type machines. It is worth saying that it is worthy of competing "American" is capable, as it has good arguments in their direction.
Appearance
The novelty has a not very large size, an attractive dynamic design, where there is a beveled back, which does not promise the abundance of free space inside. In reality, this is well proves practice. Streking adds and not too wide interior decoration, as well as a shortage of free space before the feet of the passengers sitting behind.
The height of the road lumen in 188 mm allows you to feel the compact machine that it is a full crossover. The main idea of \u200b\u200bthe appearance of Ford Kuga 2008 is kinetic design. The new branded style allows you to make a car unmistakably recognizable. The front of the "American" has a huge part of the lattice of the falseradiator and the head optics of large sizes.
In contrast to them, elements of the upper part of the radiator lattice and the "fog lattoman" have small and "light" forms. Stamping, which can be noticed on the doors, and wings, were able to emphasize the greatness of the wheeled arches. As for the shoulder line, it is well distinguished. External mirrors Designers placed on a rather long leg, which is installed on the door.
Ford Cuga Ferry Lanterns are high. The stern window was narrowed on the sides. The rear bumper turned out to be massive. If we speak in general, then all the details of the appearance are made so that the car has a massive, but rapid appearance. It is worth saying that some sports notes can still be seen in the vehicle exterior. This was achieved with a sharp profile and pointed parts.
Salon
The inner decoration of the first generation looks quite well to the C-MAX version. Inside not find futuristic. Due to the combination of colors, it is possible to dilute the overall picture and make the cabin more "easy." The dashboard has classic dials. Torpedo also received classic.
If an externally car looks small, then inside everything is changing radically, for which the company's engineering composition should be thanked. The chair has a big spectrum of settings. Although the car received a rather bulky salon, sitting the 5th passenger will not be so convenient (exception, if the 5th passenger is a child).
The ergonomic component of Ford Cuga, together with the architecture of the chairs and layout of the controls, is rational and convenient location. As for all buttons and the handles, they are on obvious places, and the devices are read easily. Many drivers will delight that the car received compartments for different little things. Interestingly, the repair kit with adhesive fluid to injected by the "spoiled" wheel is installed in the container under the legs of the left passenger seated behind.
The first-aid kit specialists decided to put symmetrically on the right. Speaking about the quality of the finish materials, it is worth saying that it is not perfect, but fully meets the current criteria. Because of this, the inner decoration looks rather neat. You can easily disassemble the rear seats to increase the volume and capacity for the luggage compartment.
The layers can be folded in the 60:40 ratio, which provides a flat floor. The stern door turned out to be separate. The luggage door itself is made of 2 elements: it opens partially either completely. The luggage compartment is wide, and the European version has a division into departments under the double floor - but this version did not receive the "spare" or "stage". The volume of the luggage compartment is 401 liters, and with folded seats, it increases to 1,405 liters of useful space.
Specifications
If we talk for the technical part, then the Cuga of the first family has a 2.0-liter 140-strong (or 163-strong) turbocharged diesel engine DURATORQ or a 2.5-liter gasoline turbocharged 200-strong DURATEC power plant. The diesel ruler designed for 140 "horses" received 320 nm, and the version that received 163 horse forces has 340 nm, respectively.
Gasoline 2.5-liter installation is equipped with 320 nm. As a KP install a six-speed mechanical box Transmissions for two versions. There is also a "robotic" option with 2 Powershift clutches for a diesel engine or a five-speed automatic transmission for a gasoline version.
Silence unit working on diesel fuelFor 10 seconds, it disperses a compact crossover to the first hundred. The gasoline power plant can be impressed with an indicator of 8.2 seconds (the version with an automatic box received more modest indicators - 8.8 seconds).
Cars of the American company are equipped with a system of the connected full drive thanks to the Haldex coupling, which is responsible for connecting the rear wheels. This coupling when needed can produce up to 50% torque on rear wheels. Since the end of 2008, employees equipped the model of a more advanced fourth-generation coupling, which received an electric pump.
Chassis
As for the chassis, Ford Cuga has a complex multi-line independent rear suspension, similar to the one that was used in Ford Focus. Thanks to this, the car has sufficiently good handling, the car is obedient in turn and quickly responds to move the steering wheel.
It is worth a recognition that the suspension turned out a bit of a little more stiff. Driving this vehicle is not as hard with the electro-hydraulic steering power amplifier. The brake system is represented by disk brake devices on all wheels (front - ventilated).
Safety
During the development of a new model, the company made a large focus on a good level of security for cars, as this is an integral and important part of any car. To provide Ford Kugo due to the level of security, applied a system that prevents invasion. She possesses:
- Functions that helps the driver control the vehicle;
- Functions that in a collision lower a chance of traumatic situations;
- Body frame, which in collision has increased resistance and strength.
In addition, this electronics that is used by the car has six airbag. The driver and front passenger received side and front pillows, as well as curtain type cushions that are located on the sides (serve to protect the shoulders and heads). All seats have seat belts with limiters and head restraints, customized in height.
Based on the safety assessments of crash tests that EUROncap holds, the car was able to take a leading place. The car received the maximum number of stars - 5. Pedestrian security was estimated at 3 stars, protection of children in 4 stars, and the driver's safety and passengers sitting with him were rated 5 stars.
A acceptable pedestrian safety assessment was achieved through the use of soft matter in the manufacture of a bumper. The radiator, the bumper and the front panel have a plot focused on the blowing force.
Price and configuration
By the time of sales, the car was available in 3 versions: Trend, Titanium and Titanium S. The initial equipment has:
- Electronic systems ABS, ESP;
- Air conditioning;
- Front and rear power windows;
- Electrical drive and heating of external mirrors;
- Fog lights;
- 17-inch steel "rollers" having decorative caps;

- Adjustment of height and lumbar stop on the passenger seat installed in front;
- Lamps illuminate the field of legs in the nose part of the interior decoration.
The all-wheel drive version with the "Automatic" and gasoline 2.5-liter installation in Titanium S will cost about 1,372,500 rubles.
II generation (2012-2016)
The American-German car of a compact "cross-line" type Ford Cuga debuted in 2008 and in Russia showed rather modest sales ratings. For all while while the model was sold, almost all rivals were able to significantly update their vehicles, so Ford management decided to conduct serious work on the advent of the 2nd Kuga family, so as not to lose the remaining competitive advantages.
I would like to note that similar improvements made by the design team went to benefit and could well improve the compact crossover. In January 2011, the conceptual version under the name Ford Vertek was presented at the Detroit Automobile Salon, which became the prototype of the second family of Cuga.
The novelty received front bumper, together with the radiator grille, as well as the shape of feed headlights and interior decoration. The International Presentation of Ford Kuga 2 generation took place in 2012, however, the model reached Russian buyers with a small delay. All of the fault has become a leisurely formation of the production of Ford in the city of Elabug. After all the difficulties were settled, the car went into mass production.
Appearance KUGA II
Cuga is considered the first serial version of the crossover from the American Ford. City car retained the family appearance. This is clearly noticeable, especially if you put the 1st and 2nd family near the 1st and 2nd family. But it is worth noting that the new year of 2012 became more relevant. Appearance stands out by confidence and swiftness. It seems that in this way the modern SUV should differ.
You can see the presence of a huge wide radiator lattice and the original line along the body, which emphasizes some aggressive notes. But it is impossible to say that the vehicle turned out to be completely sporty, rather is a more sustained car. In addition to all, the novelty has new, more "sports" bumpers.
Partly successful design it turned out to be achieved with the help of beautiful front optics. It is immediately noticeable that the design of the company was able to work fine. The nasal headlights have a small squabble and draw the aggressive appearance of the car, and thanks to the LED tape of DRL increases the charisma of the crossover. It is important that the headlights of the new model have the feature of adaptive turning of turns.
The lateral part is highlighted by a rather good plastic body kit that gives a kind of highlight to the exterior of Ford Kuga 2012. The second family "grown" in dimensions. In the length, the novelty added to 81 millimeters, which provided the ability to expand the internal volume of the car. Only in the luggage compartment it turned out to increase more than 80 liters.
The external side view of the crossover show the increased harmony. The side part has a drop-down hood, strongly littered the front rack, neat back and the soft linen of the roof. The sidewalls are as if impregnated with energy, taking out, creating, powerful ribs and firewalls, bloated wheeled arches, which are able to place rubber on "rinks" from a light alloy.
The latter received a new type of drawings. Passenger doors became wider, and Sve also "grown", which will very much please potential buyers. Ford Ford Kug 2013 received a large trunk door, faceted headlights overall lights, compact bumper with the built-in a la diffuser and two exhaust pipes. The entire bottom edge of the body around the perimeter is well closed with plastic of an unpainted type.
Doors got good overall dimensions, so loading / unloading is done without much effort. The transition to the bumper is descended smoothly. In general, the appearance of the car like many. The car turned out to be strict and attractive without a hint of pathos and cord.
Salon KUGA II.
The second-generation car car shows almost a full similarity with the interior. In general, the internal decoration of Ford Cuga 2013-2014 did not design "from scratch". Drivers who have moved from the hatchback to the crossover will not feel almost no differences.
There will also be a convenient steering wheel with an abundance of settings buttons, a stylish dashboard with informative dials and a "flightcomputer" color display, a massive front panel with the blocks of the music and climate system, as well as a high speed switching lever.
The instrument panel has two solid wells with analog type sensors, between which other small sensors are located and the onboard system screen mentioned above. Chairs installed on the first row got a good "forming" and have characteristic side support rollers.
With the help of a wide range of settings, anyone can find the required position behind the "helm". Review level at a good level. External side mirrors made large, the angle of "blind" zones is small.
From the remarkable features of the new crossover - the possibility of the buyer to choose the color range of the backlight of the inner decoration. Available in total 7 colors.
The central part has the main four-position joystick of the multimedia system. The system itself turned out to be easy and understandable. Under the joystick, you can see the setting buttons with a climate system and heating. At that place, where, as a rule, salon light bulbs are located, the keys setting the panoramic hatch and backlight are set.
The second row received not much a lot of free space. Only two not very tall people will be able to settle comfortably. The rear sofa is molded under 2 places, and the transmission tunnel installed in the center will not allow the passenger to feel comfortable in the center. As for the very back of the seats, it can change the angle of inclination.
Inside the machine there are pleasant to the touch, finishing materials and smooth junctions, which is very important. Say that the salon turned out to be expensive, however, he was performed in the European style and qualitatively, despite his russian assembly. After surcharge, you can install a large panoramic hatch in the car, which comes to the rear armchairs. As elsewhere, the curtain can be opened only for the owner and sitting next to them the front passenger.
Light can be included separately for everyone, which is very pleased. It was pleasantly surprised that experts equipped the backs of the front chairs with the tables of a folding type. Vehicle ergonomics at height. The trunk received 456 liters. However, if necessary, you can remove the feed chairs, which will increase the capacity of up to 1,653 liters.
The rear armchairs themselves are cleaned in the proportion of 60/40 as completely and parts. The company has implemented an interesting system that significantly simplifies loading / unloading baggage from the trunk. The stern door opens without hands - you can only bring the leg to the rear bumper. In addition, the door opens with the traditional method - keychain, but there is no such need.
The stern door opens without hands - you can only bring the leg to the rear bumper Since the key is contactless, all that is necessary is to come to the car. The car "will feel" the key from the owner in his pocket and will open for him. Ford made the opening system of the luggage door without hands much easier than competitors. If you need to open the fifth door, there is no need to spend your foot under the bumper - it is only necessary to bring it.
The sensors mounted in the "skirt" can recognize the movement of the leg and activate the electrical drive that opens the back door. The door closes the same method or by means of a special button. Do not worry, electronics has protection against false positives. However, there is still a small minus - electric drives function not strongly quickly.
