Ford Kuga II, after his brother with a blue oval on the grille - Ford Focus, is becoming a global model, and all markets will be offered with the same interior and exterior styling. But in North America crossover will carry a different name - Ford Escape.

Immediately car owners rejoice - the new Kuga was more increase in 81 mm to 4524 mm possible to significantly increase the useful amount of luggage, as much as 82 liters. So that the second generation of American-German crossover with five crew members are able to take on 442 liters of cargo.

Let's take a look at the new appearance of German Ford Kuga crossover. It can be said that the design of the new model from the kinetic transformed into aggressive pushy. The front of the car with just the same huge bumper on a powerful body which is located stucco three-segment inlet. Central segment of a trapezoid, his side faces his ribs rise across the vertical plane of the "nose" of the vehicle to form at the edges of the hood stylish vyshtampovki. Located on the sides of the "trapeze" the other two segments girded aerodynamic elements and originally highlighted with strips protivotumanok of turn. The edge of the bumper with a lip protruding forward added chrome inserts on the center. Beautiful headlamps with LED strips are located on the front benches of the wings. Hood - with two stylish longitudinal ribs in the center, through the side drains vyshtampovki the pronounced wheel arch profile. Body side crossover abundant relief edges, stylish edges, and occasionally bloated. Short bonnet, rapidly ascended the front desk, soft flowing lines of the rear of the roof. Embossed door harmoniously complemented the increased rear.

In reviewing the side of the new Ford Kuga looks stylistically complete. Foods - Heavily fifth door, original lamps dimensions of complex configuration, neat bumper "dressed" in a protective plastic inserts under the bright metal and "trunk" exhaust pipes. The whole body from the front to the rear bumper carefully protected by plastic covers, especially "safe" covered boxes and door panels. Stones and sand flying out from under the front wheels will not hurt the paint of a car. Crossover got alloy wheels with new drawing, the wheels depending on the equipment installed on the 235/55 R17 to 235/50 R18, and even 235/45 R19.

Ford Kuga interior 2013th model year almost exactly copies the interior of the bestselling Russian market Focus. Familiar steering wheel convenient form with the controls, instrument panel with two large dials and a color display trip-computer, a stylish front panel and center console, turning into a high tunnel. Comfortable seats front row with a wide range of adjustments, excellent profile and nice thick padding. In the second row there is enough space for a comfortable stay two passengers, and then if their growth is not more than 185 centimeters taller people will be in contact with your knees back of the front seats. Passenger who agreed to sit down a penny prevents high "hump" transmission tunnel and convexity sofa cushions. Pleasantly pleased to regulate reclining rear seats and transformation in a flat area when folded. Unlike the previous generation of the new crossover fifth door opens completely, does not work anymore to raise only its upper half, but you can open the tailgate sweep leg under the bumper, it is also possible to order electric tailgate.
As we wrote above trunk volume has increased to almost 450 liters with all passengers (load up to the level of glasses), folding rear row can be useful to increase the volume up to 1928 liters (download the ceiling).
The quality of the materials used (soft, textured plastic and leather) is better, excellent insulation and interior ergonomics nice complement internal comfort. Now you can order for the new Kuga auto valet Active Park Assist and automatic braking system (useful for when the driver did not have time to react to a sudden obstacle appeared on the road). The car will be equipped with an emergency alert emergency services in the event of airbag deployment. In the basic configuration will be air conditioning, trip computer, electric heated mirrors, head unit.
The list of options can complement your Kuga second generation xenon, panoramic roof, leather interior, heated windshield, SYNC entertainment system with 8-inch touch screen (navigation, rear view camera) and other "bells and whistles".

The technical characteristics -.

For motors provides basic 6 manual transmission, available as an option robotic Power Shift dual clutch 6-Th levels.
The car will be equipped with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive with clutch Haldex, electronics monitors each wheel and the case may redistribute the necessary force, up to simulate transverse differential lock (hung out wheel lock brakes, torque the wheel be passed having contact or greater traction. In real life, just do not notice, when you connect the rear wheels feel virtually impossible, and off-the crossover relative. But as the "German American" behavior on a hard surface, due to the short strokes knocked independent suspension (front MacPherson strut, rear multilever) and electric power steering with variable characteristics (possible forced choice mode amplifier from comfort to sport), the car seemed to be sent asking the turns. Reactions steering no lag, minimal body roll - cool, if you go on a hatchback, not noticing high "growth" Crossover. Ford Kuga a great car that competes on a virtually standard compact crossovers - WV Tiguan .

I wonder how much to increase the price of the second-generation Ford Kuga model 2013. Ford representatives promised that by assembling Elabuga price for a new Ford Kuga 2 did not significantly increase. Wait until the start of sales of the new Ford Kuga in the spring of next year, and then find out what it is "not much."
