The L mode on the transmission dial is for the hybrid system to engage a sort of one pedal mode. It will brake on the electric motor when you let off the accelerator pedal. Love the video, can't wait to get my hands on mine.
My Car Dealer told me it is meant to be used when going downhill or with a caravan, its sort of low range mode for the gearbox. Its not meant for daily driving as sometimes (when the battery is too full to recuperate) it also connects the (still cold) engine to slow it down more effectively... Although i have the Phev version maybe that makes a difference idk
@@unknownuser7026 So you are not wrong, it depends on what version of the Kuga you are talking about. I ordered a PHEV and that is the only version available in the Netherlands, where I live. But in the PHEV version the function is: "The "L" in the PHEV increases the regeneration (and thus engine braking). If you battery is full it will also do proper engine braking as well. If you use it when the battery is not full, you can have a bit of one-pedal operation."
At first glance, I think they've adapted the 2017 onwards model styling (for the bonnet/front grill, etc), and I much prefer it to the Kuga that came in between those two. It's looking 'mean' again.
Hi, I have the 180 hybrid, no one can recommend what type of gasoline is best for this engine, 95 or 98 and in the previous one the screen could be turned off, in this one I can't find any option Could you help me, thanks
@@JRCarReviewsHvala ti na odgovoru. Da li mozda znas da li su 1.5l ecoboost motori u novim automobilima dobri u smislu dugovecnosti i bez prevelikih problema? Presao bih sa 2.0 tdi motora pa sam malo skeptican za benzinac 1.5l motor. PS. Da li ces snimati voznju nove Kuge? Pozz
@@ivans71535 iskreno snimam auto ali lokalno nema suradnju sa Fordom pa nisam probao Kugu i ne mogu komentirat. Malo proguglaj isusktva. Mada mi nisu ostale u glavi neke kritike na EcoBoost motore.
too bad that they removed the noise cancellation tech that was present in the vignale trim, that was the first reason why I've picked up a Q3 phev over this new Kuga, and also the lack of matrix LEDs in my country :)
I have a 2019 St Line X i like some of the things for the new Kuga but seems they have reduced the quality, the Rear camera is massive, rear indicators are to small, the rear interior lights look cheap, Front looks Nice, Rear is ok, but the side profile doesn't look as good. MK2.5 with the New dash, maybe a little longer with the movable rear seats would be a nice combination esp if it has a 2.0 version. USB sockets in the storage between the front seats would be nice to hide cables / usb drive etc. USB socket next to the rear view mirror for dash cams would be good or inbuilt one with the already fitted cameras. Faster responsive screen. No excuse with today's computing power.
Pessima presentazione !!!!!!!!! Il tizio che commenta non fa altro che sottolineare tutte le parti in plastica dell'auto, sembra che si diverta, e non le altre qualità dell'auto, non per niente é il suv più venduto in Europa.
Driving this car since a few days.. honestly.I M COMPLETELY IN LOVE
picking mine up on friday this week thanks for the review
Very good report, congrats.
Cool video, beautiful car!!

You described it all very, very well. Congratulations
Wonderful car 🏆
L gear helps to regenerate energy when coasting

Can you please also present this car in Agate Black?

You can use 95, but peak power is measured with 98. Unfortunately, the climate control is on the screen so you can't turn it off..
Buen video ❤
Great video 👏 Is this model the ST Line or the ST Line x? Im asking because if its not the x, it has a lot of extras. Thank you
St line. The X has a sunroof
@@tonywest6855 Thank you sir 👌
Da li razmatrati u obzir benzinski motor 1.5l ecoboost od 186ks za ovaj auto i da li felne od 18 ili 19 inca mogu pruziti udobnost u voznji?
Snaga dovoljna, felge što manje to udobnija vožnja i jeftinije gume.

Detailed i like it
Does this 2.5 Duratec have the dreaded wet belt?
Nope. It's an older Mazda engine
No headroom shot? Or did i miss it? Thanks
I forgot for rear seat somehow but it was ok for me.
Somehow the structures remind me to Indonesian YarisCross Hybrid 😊

you can not put map on screen behind wheel What a pity

From the first view I realised this is Tiguan for sure). Some sort of collaboration?)
It's possible
On my 3rd Kuga. The interior has definitely gotten cheaper in terms of materials
KUGA is likely meant mean cougar. (gangsta style)
New ford Kuga...Blatant copy of the M.G. Z.S...Front and back !!! because the little M.G is so popular in the pacific countries...
Tiguan is v ugly this is much better design
