Ford Kuga 2013: a new life

In fact, for the first time the version of the predecessorFord Kuga 2013 was presented in Los Angeles in 2011 - as a modification of the successful and proven model of city crossover Ford Escape. As a tribute to the modern trend, the updated generation looks super-light, aerodynamic and with a claim to a sports car. A serious competitor of this class for Nissan, Volk and other titans.

What changed externally

Old good-natured uncle Henry's class does not go anywhereIn the Ford Kuga 2013: narrow slanting headlights, relief wings, a roof line, low in the luggage compartment, and, of course, an oval radiator grille. In length this miracle reaches 4520 mm, in width - 1840 mm, completely urban parameters, providing both maneuverability and reliability.

But in the salon there is a noticeable similarity with "Focus", inincluding the torpedo panel. From novelties - system MyFord Touch, a multimedia portal for communication with the driver. Outwardly this car became closer to the solid, courageous. The number five door to Ford Kuga 2013 is the signature handwriting of this model, which is not stolen by any Korean woman (we all understand who we are talking about).

And inside ...

The new Ford Kuga 2013 comes out on our domesticmarket in three trim levels, depending on the engine: petrol for 150 and 182 horsepower, and - a tribute to the relevance - a diesel engine with a capacity of 140 horses. Accordingly - three types of transmissions, MT, AT and mixed (robot - for diesel vehicles). For the car is offered as front and four-wheel drive, opening up spaces for travel outside the city and office transfers.

Seats in the Ford Kuga New are incredibly pleasing to theirergonomics - moderately athletic and at the same time, soft enough cushions and flexible backs. Due to the increased length of the exterior has increased by 50 liters and the trunk, another nice advantage in this compartment is the control system of "handcraft" - that is now to open the car with occupied hands quite conveniently and really.

... Well, on the move

The first thing that catches your eye, and to be more precise- then in the ears of the driver "Kugi", this is silence. The most complete soundproofing is the pride of the developers, who kept saying at the presentation about creating an acoustic paradise. Excellent is the diesel engine, soft and smooth, combined with an impeccable system of stabilization. We forget about drifts using the braking system of a separate wheel, the new PowerShift and a dynamic new suspension - the rolls are almost invisible. Discussing the box machine in the confrontation of the "robot", which does not always manage to smoothly switch in the urban rhythm, of course, preference is given to the first. Moreover, the consumption of the "Kugi" is quite adequate, and the acceleration to 100 km / h in 9.7 s is not super-speed, of course, but satisfactory.

But the most pleasant thing for Ford Kuga is the prices: to buy a car for 35-38 thousand dollars in the most universal configuration - not first-class, of course, but good - but with such characteristics, you need to try. At the same time, the Ford company has never been distinguished by an unjustified or unpredictable price increase in the world market, nevertheless, it is this concern that is associated with eternal quality and stability. Although someone can argue - break "Ford" not less often Korean and even German cars. So, to solve the owner - to let "Kugu" in the garage or give preference to the good-quality and more spacious Hyundai IX35.
