Is the Kuga PHEV worth making the switch? We think so...

21 July 2021

Take a further look at how making the switch to the Kuga PHEV can dramatically change your driving experience

What is the Kuga PHEV about?

It's an SUV like no other - proven with the amount of positive reviews its received since its release. It has won the best Plug-In Hybrid for long distance travelling in 2021 and we can't say we are surprised with this. It gives up to 35 all-electric miles to explore cities which are emission free! If you then need to travel further the petrol engine takes over which gives you an even further approximately 52 miles per gallon.

WhatCar? has said "smooth, quiet ride...that doesn’t cost a fortune for every mile you cover."

Beautifully designed, remarkably efficient and effortlessly capable.

The Kuga is available in three electrified vehicle options which include;  the Ford Kuga EcoBlue Mild Hybrid; the Kuga Full Hybrid; or the Kuga Plug-in Hybrid.

Whichever version you choose its designed to deliver you a cleaner, quieter, more sophisticated approach to SUV driving whilst still experiencing the drive of your life.

Also there is the Kuga EcoBlue diesel (FWD and AWD) and EcoBoost petrol options, which offer advanced non-hybrid engine options. 

So much choice!
