New Kuga cutting edge in technology

Ford says its new Kuga will deliver to customers an even more technologically advanced, refined, and affordable sports utility vehicle, making driving simpler, safer and more enjoyable for growing numbers of SUV customers in Europe.

The new Kuga arrives in Ireland this month and full spec and price details will be issued at that time.

In the meantime, Ford says the new Kuga offers the company’s sophisticated SYNC 3 communications and entertainment system, innovative driver assistance technologies, an ergonomic and comfortable interior, and powerful and efficient engines, including Ford’s 120 bhp 1.5-litre TDCi diesel that returns 4.4 l/100 km (64.2 mpg) and 115g/km CO2.

The new Kuga also features Ford’s Perpendicular Parking technology that helps drivers park handsfree in spaces alongside other cars; an enhanced version of the active city stop collision avoidance system; and Ford’s adaptive front lighting system for optimised visibility in low light. Further advanced technologies include hands-free liftgate and Ford intelligent all wheel drive (AWD).

“New Kuga offers cutting-edge new features and technologies that will help drivers stay connected, comfortable, safe and stylish on the road,” said Joe Bakaj, vice president, product development, Ford of Europe. “The sophisticated redesign has given Kuga a fresh and modern feel, while SYNC 3 enables drivers to communicate with their vehicle and connected devices in seamless ways that would have seemed impossible just a few years ago.”
