The first generation of the urban crossover from the German division of Ford, released in 2008, was perceived by consumers rather restrainedly, the car did not become a bestseller. You can search for and analyze the reasons for a long time, but we will not do this, since the manufacturer himself has already done all this, having studied in detail all his shortcomings and tried to correct them when creating the second generation Ford Kuga 2013 model year.
Dimensions Ford Kuga 2013
To begin, consider overall characteristics ford kuga 2013. The updated SUV began to look more mature and aggressive, which was facilitated not only by the modernization of the head optics, bumper and grille, but also by a change in the dimensions of the car. So, with the same wheelbase as the previous generation, equal to 2690 mm, the second generation crossover became 81 mm longer (up to 4524 mm), but at the same time it became 8 mm narrower (1702 mm) and 4 mm lower (1838 mm). The 2013 Ford Kuga has increased ground clearance by 10 mm and now stands at an impressive 198 mm.
The 2013 Ford Kuga also offers a more spacious luggage compartment compared to the previous generation (it has increased by 46 liters to 456 liters, and when folded rear seats- as much as 1653 liters), which is equipped not only with an electric door, but also unique system hands free. To open the trunk, you do not have to get your hands or shoes dirty - just slide your foot under rear bumper. It is worth noting that even adhering dirt or snow does not interfere with the operation of the sensor installed there.
Engines and transmission Ford Kuga 2013
The range of power units installed on new crossover, consists of two gasoline and two diesel engines, during the development of which engineers paid special attention to the issue of efficiency.
Gasoline engines belong to the family of modern Ford EcoBoost engines, equipped with turbochargers, direct fuel injection systems and systems that regulate valve timing:
- The 150-horsepower 1.6-liter power unit has a maximum torque of 240 Nm and is able to accelerate the crossover to 100 km/h in 9.7 seconds at a top speed of 195 km/h. Fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 8.3 liters in cities and 5.6 liters outside. True, these figures are typical for a mono-drive version with a mechanical transmission. With the same engine, but with all-wheel drive and an automatic transmission, Ford Kuga 2013 has the following specifications: acceleration to hundreds - 10.7 seconds; electronically limited maximum speed - 192 km / h; fuel consumption when driving around the city - 10.2 liters per 100 kilometers, on the highway - 6.3 liters;
- The 182-horsepower 1.6-liter engine has a maximum torque of 240 Nm and provides acceleration to hundreds in 9.7 seconds, and the maximum speed that it allows to develop is 200 km / h. Fuel consumption in a metropolis reaches 10.2 liters per 100 kilometers, and outside it drops to 6.3 liters.
Diesel engines belong to the Duratorq TDCi proprietary family of turbocharged engines:
- The 140-horsepower 2.0-liter power unit develops a maximum torque of 320 Nm and allows you to reach speeds of up to 187 km / h, providing acceleration to hundreds in 11.2 seconds. Fuel consumption when driving around the city is 7.3 liters per 100 kilometers, on the highway - 5.5 liters per 100 kilometers;
- The 163-horsepower 2.0-liter engine has a maximum torque of 340 Nm and accelerates the 2013 Ford Kuga crossover to 100 km/h in 10.4 seconds. Max Speed electronically limited to 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.
Petrol power units They work in tandem with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission, while for diesel engines, either the same mechanical transmission or a robotic PowerShift is provided.
Innovative solutions in Ford Kuga 2013
To begin with, we note robotic gearbox PowerShift, which is able to pre-select the next gear, minimizing loss of power and speed when shifting. Extremely fast and smooth shifting from one gear to another makes the driving experience incredibly pleasant, and also provides significant fuel savings and reduced emissions. At the same time, the intelligent system itself selects the optimal gear, depending on the current situation. For example, when overtaking, it can turn on downshift, which provides more power for faster acceleration and ensures safe completion of the maneuver.
When driving a crossover Ford Kuga with a manual transmission, the gearshift indicator located on the dashboard. It determines the optimal moment to shift into the next gear, making driving more economical.
Another innovative system aimed at saving fuel is called Ford Eco Mode. It takes into account the speed at which the car is moving, the most frequently selected gears, the manner of braking, the length of trips and other factors, based on which it gives advice to reduce fuel consumption in accordance with the driving style of a particular driver.
The intelligent all-wheel drive system, which is equipped with the new 2013 Ford Kuga, manages to assess the situation on the road twenty times in the period of time that a person needs to blink an eye. In this case, there is a constant redistribution of torque between the wheels to ensure optimal handling and maximum grip with the roadway. It is worth noting that the system is activated only when it is really necessary, therefore, on relatively flat and straight sections of the road, the crossover actually drives in front-wheel drive mode, due to which it is possible to achieve significant fuel savings.
The Curve Control system also provides invaluable assistance to the driver, which compares the actual speed of the car with the desired one at a particular turning point and corrects it in case of deviation from the norm. This is done on the basis of information received from sensors for vehicle speed, lateral roll, lateral acceleration, wheel speed and steering angle. All data is analyzed a hundred times every second, and in the event that the trajectory of movement is incorrect, Curve Control begins to correct it by braking each of the wheels individually, applying different braking forces to them. When entering a corner at too high a speed, this system is capable of dropping approximately 16 km/h every second.
Ford engineers have also worked fruitfully on the issue of reducing road and wind noise, as a result of which the cabin of the second generation Kuga can safely claim to be one of the quietest in its class. This was achieved through the use of a special aerodynamic design of the side mirrors, more rigid door frames, new seals, thicker glass and upgraded chassis components. The special ClimAir deflector also contributes to the elimination of noise and turbulence, which allows you to keep the windows on the front doors open even when it rains.

In addition to the presented Ford Kuga 2013 photos, you can also watch a video with a test drive of this car:
The latest generation of the Ford Kuga was introduced in 2012 under the name smart crossover. This is true, since the equipment includes a huge number of different devices and driver assistance systems. Compared to the previous modification, the new car has a chic appearance, powerful and economical engines, high ground clearance and much more. Today we will analyze the technical characteristics and try to find out how good this car really is? Getting started.
First of all, I would like to say that the Ford Kuga crossover is an enlarged Focus. They have the same platform, but the size of the car is slightly different. Ground clearance our hero is 20 cm, which is 6 cm more than Focus. If we compare the new car with the previous generation, then the dimensions have also changed: the car has become longer by 80 mm and narrower by 4 mm. In general, the appearance has become more aggressive and solid.
Technical part
New Ford generation The 2017 Kuga is a significant upgrade in terms of engines over its predecessor. Now the crossover can be equipped with the following motors:
- Petrol: 1.6-liter (150 or 182 hp).
- Diesel: 2-liter (140 or 163 hp).
All gasoline engines belong to the Eco Boost range, which is a definite advantage, since dynamic characteristics quite impressive with a low appetite for fuel consumption. Diesel engines can accelerate Ford Kuga to hundreds in 10 - 11 seconds. At the same time, in the city, the consumption is about 7.7 liters, and even less on the highway - 5.5 liters. It should be noted that, compared with the previous generation, the 2017 crossover shows impressive efficiency indicators, since the consumption of gasoline engines has decreased by 25%, and diesel engines by 10%.
As for the transmission, there can be 3 different options depending on the configuration:

- Automatic, which can be equipped with an all-wheel drive version with a gasoline engine.
- A robot that is installed on all-wheel drive diesel engines.
General Specifications crossover Ford Kuga are quite impressive, which is achieved through many modern systems. For example, all-wheel drive modifications are equipped with the Torque Vectoring Control system, which significantly improves the handling and stability of the car on the road. According to the developers of the system, it can simultaneously control and process about 40 different characteristics, which allows you to quickly apply traction to the rear axle of the Ford Kuga.
Also, the 2017 crossover has a global intellectual system all-wheel drive and a car control system when cornering, which has a positive effect on overall maneuverability and handling. Another useful system is Active City. Its essence lies in tracking cars and other objects around the Ford Kuga and, if necessary, activating automatic braking. It works at speeds below 30 km/h.
Complete sets and useful systems
Ford offers a choice of 4 different configurations of the Kuga crossover:

Test drive ford Kuga 2013
Ford Kuga 2015 A real family car! Test drive and Video review
Compact SUV Ford Kuga 2nd generation, released on Russian market in March 2013, built on a modified Ford Focus 3 platform. So, almost all the suspension elements of the crossover are “their own”, at the same time, the chassis configuration is familiar: MacPherson struts in front, multi-link in the back. Ford engineers gave Kuga a plug-in all-wheel drive system own development, which is called Active Torque Coupling. This scheme is based on the basic front wheel drive and connected with a multi-plate clutch rear axle. A maximum of up to 50% of the torque is sent back, and the exact dosage is determined by the control unit, which takes into account the readings of multiple sensors. A feature of this 4WD system, which is also used on Ford Explorer, is that it connects rear axle at the moment when it considers it necessary, without waiting for slippage.
Engine range 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 "aspirated" Japanese design.
- 1.6 EcoBoost 150 hp, 240 Nm - turbo engine with direct injection and a phase change system on both shafts.
- 1.6 EcoBoost 182 hp, 240 Nm - an analogue of a 150-horsepower turbo unit with other software settings. It has increased power and a wider torque shelf of 1600-5000 rpm (for a 150 hp engine, the upper limit is at 4000 rpm).
From the start of sales, the SUV's arsenal included a Duratorq 2.0 diesel unit with a return of 140 hp. and a torque of 320 Nm. Subsequently, the motor fell out of the clip of available power plants.
Ford Kuga engines were paired with two types of gearboxes - a 6-speed "mechanics" and a 6-band "automatic" with a factory index 6F35. Mechanical transmission designed only for the "turbo" 1.6 EcoBoost 150 hp, while the automatic is combined with any of the motors. The version with a 2.5-liter “aspirated” is available only in a front-wheel drive layout.
In terms of fuel economy latest motors EcoBoost looks a little more preferable. Particularly stands out front-wheel drive modification with 6MKPP, consuming about 6.8 l / 100 km in the combined cycle. Fuel consumption Ford Kuga 2.5 according to the passport is 8.1 liters.

Ford Kuga, 2014
Good day. Drove 5 thousand km on the highway and the city of Moscow in half. Consumption in Moscow from 10.6 to 11.2. On the highway, Ford Kuga consumes 9.6, but this is when driving from 100-160, without trying to save. The first 2 thousand km I tried not to give more than 3000 revolutions. Rides easily, 150 hp, but at the same time 230 torque. For comparison, "Sportage" 190. I was at work like this, the feeling that the engine is trying very hard to disperse the car. The Ford Kuga makes it easy. I really liked the soundproofing, I turn the engine up to 4-5 thousand revolutions, switching is only visible on the tachometer, no noise in the car, no jerking of the box. Suspension right on me, neither soft nor hard. There is a minus, punches speed bumps, if at speed. When buying a Ford Kuga, the manager convinced that for 1000 rubles. radio will read USB. However, as it turned out later, this is not realistic. I don’t like the sound of the speakers (after the Camry in the maximum configuration). Solving the issue with a "flash drive", I went around the market, the sellers consulted among themselves, called "Kulibin", there is only one answer - there are no solutions for your car. Frames for it have not yet been invented, as well as an adapter, there is for Focuses, Mondeo, but not for Ford Kuga. There is only one solution, the radio tape recorder China or Saratov on android for 25 thousand rubles. But it will read and show everything. Ordered. I was surprised how quickly the engine warms up, 2 minutes, no more. In general, the car is good, everyone is happy.
Advantages : interior soundproofing. Dynamics. Profitability.
disadvantages : radio does not read USB.

Externally Ford Kuga looks very good, I especially like the front and rear. What can I say, the plane is inside, everything is beautiful. The button to start the engine without a key is worth something, and this is in all trim levels. It can be seen that the salon is sharpened for a youth audience. For the rear passengers, there are separate air vents and tilt-adjustable seats, which is cool. In general, spacious rear surprisingly. I didn’t like the driver’s seat, it’s somehow narrow compared to the Focus. Engine 2.5 "aspirated" and 6-speed automatic are very balanced. Very good Ford Kuga starts from a place, but after 140 km / h it fades for some reason. The machine works well, tries to keep the minimum engine speed. At 120 km / h, the speed is 2400 (I remember it was almost 4000 at the Focus). Sports mode the machine dramatically changes the behavior of the car, the pedal becomes sensitive. It is inconvenient to check the oil level in the engine, the dipstick is far inside. The engine runs quietly at idle. Suspension is stiff. Most importantly, driving on gravel and small bumps infuriates me, and, judging by the reviews, not only me. I went to the service, they said everything is normal. Think design feature Well, I don't know, maybe it will pass with time. On asphalt everything is buzzing, minimal rolls. Everyone is worried about soundproofing, and so it’s excellent. Campaign did a very good job with aerodynamics, after 120 km / h in the cabin of the Ford Kuga silence.
Advantages : appearance. Engine and box. Interior. Noise isolation.
disadvantages : suspension stiffness.

It was run-in, the Ford Kuga behaves well, not as rolly as the X-Trail, the suspension is stiffer (well, there are also 18th wheels, I’ll put 17 for the winter, it should be softer), the control is excellent. Engine 1.6 150 hp it’s enough for me, the dynamics are much better, it turns out that there were not horses on the Nissan, but a pony (I squeezed 160 on it and the car didn’t go much further). I drove a Ford Kuga once at a speed of 180 and it seems that there was still a reserve. The seats are comfortable, good lateral support (when I was choosing a car, I sat in the CR-V, there were no seats at all). But it will be convenient for a slender person, since a friend (110 kg) was not comfortable, he was pressing on his sides. The panel is soft, the steering wheel is comfortable, there are no complaints. The only thing I did not like was the operation of multimedia systems. The navigator is disgusting (it doesn’t see and doesn’t know a lot of things, I would like to download maps, but it’s impossible, there is some kind of its own system) I have to travel by phone, since I’m from the Moscow region, so I don’t use it so often. The sound after 4 speakers on the "Japanese" just "killed" how much the equalizer did not turn, I could not set it up normally, I myself do not worry much about this, it plays and plays, but you need to get used to it. From time to time, this whole system can “freeze” and does not react to anything, you turn off the car, then start it and everything is fine, since this is not often. I have enough trunk, there is a dokatka, which is not so terrible. I almost forgot, Ford Kuga has a heated windshield, which cannot but rejoice in winter. In general, I like the car, the mileage is already 10 thousand km, there are no complaints, except for small crickets,
Advantages : very comfortable car.
disadvantages : crickets in the cabin. But they can be removed if desired.

After we took the Ford Kuga, drove the first 200 km, the average consumption showed 8.6 liters. In the city, consumption with all warm-ups and idling showed 13.9. It's a smooth ride. You understand while I'm rolling. The departure was out of town, over a distance of 200 km one way consumption showed already 7.3 l / 100 km, I fill in gasoline 92, the seller advised me to drive only 92, I don’t know how correct this is. Now the mileage is already in the region of 900 km. The car warms up very quickly for 5-10 minutes and the temperature arrow went up. It feels like it’s not a car, but an airplane, inside the Ford Kuga it’s quiet and everything is very comfortable. The seats also warm up very quickly. For us, after the VAZ, this is definitely a plane. Another big plus that was paid attention to is the airflow of the rear passengers. On the Ford Kuga, it is a plus for heating the legs. I don't think it's on the CX5. We carry a child in the back. Another plus is the tilt-adjustable rear row seats. I started the car at -30 (after 12 hours of inactivity) there are no hints at all that the Kuga will not start. The interior of the Ford Kuga is warm, in the current frosts I sit freely in a T-shirt. As for handling, it’s generally excellent, neither ice nor slush between the lanes is felt. When overtaking, everything is smooth and calm, you sit high and the view is excellent. Rubber costs Nokian 5 R17 received as a gift from the salon.
Advantages : quiet. Comfortable. Airflow for rear passengers. Warm salon. Controllability.
disadvantages : not found yet.

Feelings from Ford Kuga. Valkaya, the road is not very soft on a broken road (the car is still new, maybe something will change). But in general, this does not bother, perhaps just the cost of the class. The interior of the Ford Kuga is better than the Focus. But not the class standard. Noise isolation is just enough to not remember about the noise of the wheels and the engine. Music is so-so, music lovers will have to refine. Consumption smoothly on the run-in 11.5 liters. Suitable for a small family. The floor can be made straight if the seats are folded down (suitable for nature lovers and tent lovers, you can sleep with the seats folded in it). The Ford Kuga engine inspires confidence. The classic automatic machine is average in terms of reaction indicators (those who want to “blame” in a car, take a closer look at automatic machines with 2 clutches). The sound of the engine is pleasant, not annoying. Landing moderately comfortable, high. The engine start button is a handy thing. After the key of the classic, it pleases directly. Security systems please, especially esp / etc. Bottom line: With 1.5 million rubles, I highly recommend considering this car.
Advantages : price. Comfort. Engine.
disadvantages : liquidity unknown. Small salon. Little space for small things.

The first most striking impression of the Ford Kuga is the absolute absence of engine sound. Of course, while running and more than 3 thousand we do not warm, but it does not even start up audibly, and there are no vibrations. Maybe this is how it is for me after a diesel, of course, but still, very quiet. When I tested the 1.5 turbo it sounded better. Why such a choice of motor and drive? Tested 1.5 on the front wheel drive. I did not like how the engine works together with the box. At the slightest pressure on the gas, the tachometer goes up to 3.5 thousand. I tried it for acceleration - I was not impressed. Ford Kuga's mileage will be small, because for his wife, and she only travels around the city. Why not all wheel drive? Before that there was a crossover with all-wheel drive, and it never came in handy in 7 years. And the 92nd gasoline, of course, attracted me. Consumption so far purely in the city is 12.5 - 13. As you leave the Moscow Ring Road, it immediately drops to 12. At a speed of 120 rpm, up to 3 thousand. I also noticed that the start is quite sharp, i.e. at the very beginning of pressing the pedal is overly sensitive. In general, in the city it is convenient, it seemed to me. The interior is comfortable, the only thing that was uncomfortable at first was the high seat relative to the floor. My height is 187. Another 15-20 centimeters from the ceiling. Played with the settings of the seat and steering wheel - it became quite comfortable. The left leg can be placed as if sitting on a chair, at a right angle. It's a bit cramped behind me, but only a child will ride there, so that's fine. The trunk of the Ford Kuga seemed small to me, but 4 wheels are in a row quietly with a margin. Appearance really liked his wife, so we went to see. A treacherous manager lured us with a price and an offer, and we couldn’t leave without a contract. In terms of equipment - everything is there. Very convenient wireless access. Parktronics all around - class too. The valet is breathtaking. The first two times I slowed down, because. afraid of perpendicular parking. Haven't found any significant cons yet. If it's interesting, I'll still describe the sensations. Bottom line: while the car is very like.
Advantages : design. Equipment. Automatic transmission work. 92 gasoline. Economical for its size. Smooth running. Noise isolation of the engine 100%.
disadvantages : additional soundproofing of the arches will not hurt.

Ford Kuga, 2017
We have a fifth Ford car - we love this brand, but the fourth and fifth time we "flew". Ford Kuga 2014 "ecobus" - I really liked it, but after 1.5 years of driving I had to change it (we went to dealers four times with one problem - the engine icon lit up and during diagnostics it turned out that "poor" fuel and the engine clogged). By trade-in, they changed in April 2017 to an updated Kuga with a 2.5-liter gasoline engine of 150 horses. We drove for three months - another problem, the vibration is strong in everything - the auto-steering wheel, pedal, seats and doors. As you drive 100 km, this is negligible for me, because. I dangle a lot and often, and after getting out of the car, the ground trembles under my feet, we can’t drive. Three times went to the dealer Rolf-Khimki. Just checked the engine and everything is fine. They didn’t even lift the hood - they didn’t look. I read on the Internet, because of which there may be vibration, and engine mounts and much more. They don’t want to find out anything, they unsubscribed that the features of this model. Machine under warranty. Write somebody, everybody strong vibration or just me. I like the car - modern, comfortable, but it's impossible to drive because of the vibration.
Advantages : modern, beautiful, stuffed with electronics.
disadvantages : strong vibration (dealers say all 2017 Kugis have vibration).
