@13:21 The floor does indeed lay flat. The load liner is adjustable allowing you place it higher up on the ledge making the area completely flat. When the seats are up it can be placed back allowing for a greater capacity.
Thank you for this review. Regarding the ridge that prevents a flat surface with the seats folded down, it should be noted that the flat tray can be lifted and is designed to sit flush with the seats because there are protruding lugs at the rear of the seat compartment provided for this purpose. I have seen this demonstrated at a car dealer as I like and need a completely flat tray baggage area. No ridge, and no problem!
Thanks 🙏
Dont miss all the fantastic landscape shots spread out through the video!
Great review, and shots of Finland. A bit big for me living in a built up urban area, but nice.
I don't understand some of these comments as regards to interior materials (especially about the door). If you get in a Audi Q3 and go to the bottom of the door, the rubbish plastic is the same. I'm not suggesting that the Kuga uses as good materials, or is as well built as a Q3. But the comments made about how this a 'budget car' and implying it would be different in a 'premium car', is highly false and misleading. Even in something as expensive as an A7 has rubbish plastic that low down on the door.
I purchased a new 2017 Escape Titanium Awd with 2.0 EcoBoost. I found the fit and finish to be great. A lot of soft padding throughout the cabin. The storage bins in the door are hard plastic and need to be to hold larger and heavier items. I found this the case in much more expensive vehicles I test drove before deciding on the Ford.The copy you reviewed has a different shifter location then mine which limits space to the heater controls. My console is layed out much better than the ST version you reviewed. The 2.0 EcoBoost is rated at 245 Horsepower and provides more power increasing the fun factor. The ride and handling is outstanding. I totally disagree with your comment regarding it's handling. I recommend trying the US version with the 2.0 EcoBoost. After 16,000 miles. Absolutely no regrets. By the way. I have quarter mile times with a full tank of regular gas of 15.466 at 95.82 mph. I know that's not Mustang GT numbers, but it's still fun for a relative heavy all wheel drive SUV. One thing You failed to mention. The Sync 3 can be operated by voice command. I find the infotainment center to be solid. If you're going to compare the Escape's short comings. Please let us know what your compairing with. Like I mentioned. I test drove Toyota, GM, FCA to mention three and I still purchased the Escape. my decision was based on looks, comfort, fit and finish, ride and handling. I will add that the Engine option of having the 2.0 EcoBoost with 245 HP helped close the deal.
Super review AJ. Great photography too, especially slow motion elements. What a location...beautiful.
thanks andrew!
GREAT REVIEW
Excellent slow motion shots. Congrats! :)
Cameraman Jonas did a great job indeed!
Hi AJ, thanks for the nice review and the beautiful landscapes where it took place! I just like to say that this car looks much better then previous designs! :)
thanks bro!
Finland! It looked too familiar in the thumbnail to be from anywhere else ;-)
Cool to see a testdrive in Finland :) We dont get too many of these journalist tests here.
Congrats !! very nice detailed description !!
👌
Had 2018 Trend 2.0TCDI in New Zealand for 2 months and thoroughly enjoying driving experience.
Great review!
thanks byron!
Very looking for the new KUGA will come to Asia.
Nice review AJ. Interesting Landscape. Very different to what I am used to seeing.
+Arun K 👍
the inside of the door is exactly the same as on the outgoing model
best review ive seen on this car
👌
beautiful car
Best car review I have seen so far! :-) Great work!
love to hear that, keep joining us!
Great review 😃 and very pleasant voice and pronunciation. Keep it up! 😃
appreciated!
Great review! :)
appreciated!
i have got a st line on order
where to buy used ford Kuga from 2017-02019 ?
I think it would be better if you do test of midle seat in the back, especially for the foots.
Nice review. Aj has improved.
this looks great. i hope they bring this trim to the usa
Can you test the 1.5 150HP model?
Good and fair review. But since the review was done in snowy environment, I would like to see a bit on how this small cross over performs in snowy icy hill climb. I do believe with winter tires, the AWD capability of this CUV should emphasis. There are a few videos that have done this. Claimed to be second only to Subaru AWD, which is a huge compliment. I think Ford should explore marketing this CUV from this marketing angle.
Why isn't the gear stick placed as in the American 2017 Escape (same car)? It is totally idiotic to place the stick so high up, almost half the way up on the dashboard, very near the buttons. It is these kind of stuff that makes me wonder how the Ford engineers and designers think? And what about the console in the middle? Jeeeezus, the build quality on that thing seems to be horrendous. Otherwise I really like the design of these new Fords, especially the Titanium and Vignale (Escape, Kuga), they look great... but are they good enough cars? Are they durable or do they fall apart within a couple of years?
I am a little too late to the Party, but this is in Fact an awesome Review, exactly what I wanted to see! Great!
Thanks, always feel free to recommend :-)
The fuel consumption is so high becouse the engine is too weak for this type of car. A 2 liter turbo would use 2 liters less...
I have a Vignale 2.0 tdci AWD with all the options great SUV,i have Always had Ford from 1988 till now I have now 4 Ford's in my posetion all great cars
Speaking of Finland, how cool would it be to take the current gen Focus RS with the trick rear diff torque vectoring AWD system and some Nokian Hakkapelitta winter tires go up against the WRX STI in some deep snow! Maybe on a frozen lake or something both with nokian tires, seems like fords new AWD system would fare quite well in snowy conditions
Real winter out there :)
Kuga got rather massive silhouette in this facelifting but nothing special IMHO.
AJ have you been to Kerala?
great video ! Please, can you tell me what do you Thin about the 1.5 L Tdci 120 CV ? Is it suitable for the vehicle's weight?
www.ford.co.uk/Hidden/BrochuresandPricelists
According to brochure 0-100 12,7 seconds too slow for 120 hp. Slower than 2013 1,6 tdi 105 hp passat variant.
Yunus Emre Simsek Thank you !
I'm not sure about this Kuga face-lift... with its prominent Edge-like nose... and it looks a bit Ecosport-like too. The interior looks like an improvement with a better infotainment system. Thanks for the review AJ, and the great views of lovely Finland.
appreciated !
AJ's a natural!
totally!
Autogefühl still, waiting for the Holmeister
the Holgermeister is in L.A. for us at the moment and will give you an exclusive coverage soon from the motor show!
But does this model also burn as easy as the outgoing model? How long before another safety recall? Just search Kuga Burning South Africa...
You're lucky to get the 2 trims.... Thats not fair we don't get that in The US
Great review! greetings from Argentina!!!I hope someday you can come and visit us!
Argentina is definetely a target one day
Öncelikle tüm Ford Kuga kullanıcılarına kazasız belasız iyi günlerde sevdikleriyle beraber güzel yerleri gitmelerin dilerim Ford Kuga araç sahipleri aracınızın kıymetini bilin Umarım bir gün benim de böyle güzel bir araba mı olur İyi günlerde kullanın🚙🚗👈
Could be wrong but here in the states I'm pretty sure that's the Escape.
indeed
Where's Thomas? you're sit on his seat. 😎
at this point of time he was in spain for this review: ruclips.net/video/Jp6YEKIzYSo/видео.html
Look more balance and thougher. More handsome version of Focus.
Yea i love your videos today its my birthday i would love that u say me something
Happy birthday m8 :)
It seems that the Vingale Trim in Europe is the same as the Platinum Trim in the USA. And the “One Ford“ strategie is the right decision for the Ford Brand. But I think, they should offer the same engines in both parts of the world. And also the cars should use the same names. So the Kuga should be called Escape in every market and the mondeo should called fusion in every market. Than I also could live with the different trim names. That is of course my personly opinion. 😊
It is a subaru from rear
When reviewers / drivers demonstrate self-parking mode, why do they always hold their hands in the air as if someone is pointing a gun at them?
Where Thomas?
GBRIDRGER Feeding his cat...😉
I was here: ruclips.net/video/Jp6YEKIzYSo/видео.html
Lol :) @ 3
Are you originally Indian, if so which part?
Bangalore
Oh nice I'm from Kerala
The way it looks is ok but that 11L/km is bad,ford always had bad mpg(l/km)
The exterior wasn't that bad, ford should have better changed the interior.
Without looking at the title I honestly thought this was a 3rd Gen Toyota RAV4..
Previous one looked like an SUV, this one looks like a van...
slapi2006 It looks like MPV/Van/SUV.
I kinda like this guys, Thomas is nice too but he is not as loud and clear as this dude, just made Thomas's review like ASMR video, no offense though :) Nice video!
Agree. Thomas is really great but should raise his voice somewhat...
robert4you and his speaking Skills :D
Would of liked to know more about the extra kit on the Vignale, and I bet Thomas wouldn't of been impressed about you saying "nice leather" !? 😂
AJ was almost grounded for this but the praising Alcantara comment earlier saved him (Thomas)
+Autogefühl just wondering what cars you all drive?
Now of course the only newcomer missing is the Peugeot 3008 :)
+Terry_42 we ll ask for one
+Terry_42 we ll ask for one
Ford Kuga/escape ST-line not ST, its not a real ST :p
Suomi mainittu torilla tavataan
Torille sitte voon!
sorry i dont like it
This looks like a mini van. Disgusting.
Car looks so cheap :/
