New 2024 Ford Kuga Review | Are Fords Still Fun

Today on Buckle Up Jasper makes a video about a randy older lady, wait what, oh... Kuga not Cougar. Easy mistake to make. So forget about leopard print, this is Ford's large family crossover and one of the last ICE cars left in its portfolio in Europe. But can it keep up with value focused rivals, while still holding the torch for fun to drive family cars for the every person?

Up against rivals such as Toyota Rav4, Nissan Quashqi, Volkswagen Tiguan, Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tuscon, Peugeot 3008, Citroën C5 Aircross, Vauxhall Grandland, Skoda Kodiaq, Seat Ateca, Alfa Romeo Tonale, Audi Q5, BMW X3, Jaguar E-Pace, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Lexus NX, Mazda CX-5, Mercedes Benz GLC, Mini Countryman, Mitsubishi Outlander, Renault Kadjar, MG HS, SsangYong Korando, Subaru Forester, Suzuki Across, KGM Torres, Tesla Model Y and Volvo XC40 does the Comfortable Runabout Vehicle make a good enough case for itself?

Good review just ordered one in France which uses E85 at 75 cents a litre

[AndrewKNI]

Great review Jasper but please cut down the background music at the start. It was a bit hard to hear your dulcet voice over. 😆😆😆

[gooding]

What electric range did you get with this? Reading a lot of owners struggling to get more than 15 miles?

[JasperCarrot-uszi]

I have 2.5 vignale great drive but hate the lane tracking system

[MrTrull]

Yes, please cut the music once the presenter starts talking. Good 8/10 Jasper Thigh Score this time.

Mentioning the lane tracking system on a road with no tracks 😁 i hope it doesnt take over too much i find that unnerving.

Jasper Bruce Wright test driven Ford Kuga also known as Escape PHEV model .

[rossspeirs]

says in the manual that L means low range, got the pre facelift version - L is definately low range

[ag]

Have you ever driven these through a 6'6" /7' barrier? Do they fit at all?

[maff]

The interior rattles would be a concern for me and has been an issue with Fords I've owned in the past. This could have been easily improved for the facelift but they have just carried over the same plastics in the interior.

[JeremyGeduldt-mh]

Like Kuga is also Escape Evos should also be Electron .

[nickbakis]

Maybe the question you should also ask is whether Fords are still unreliable

[gerdmueller]

Blödes Auto, das Lenkrad ist auf der falschen Seite! 😉🤣

Pre gen 2019 models actually looked liked faux SUV’s. This is nothing more than an ever so slightly raised discontinued Focus.
Styling is at best described as mid 2010’s and interior is cheap and lacking in technology and layout whatever “sync” model it is.
Only saving grace Ford have in the uk is all those Fiesta and Puma pcp customers it has wanting to renew is to go to this…
