Welcome to crowded segment SUV , middleweight section. Our traveling companion, the new Ford Kuga , Ford is putting the almost unique piece of the sales pie that seems to be really alive right now. The importance of Ford Kuga should be huge and therefore, we expect a brand proportional effort to achieve an attractive and complete .
The bad news is that in this booming segment there is a growing number of rivals undoubtedly attractive , with which you will have to measure this second generation Ford Kuga . To fight with others under the middleweight boxers, Ford brings to the table a new interior and exterior design , along with a complete collection of electronic aids the driver leads not only, but keeps better than many humans.
The aesthetics of the new Ford Kuga is a major change compared with the previous model, although I'm not entirely sure you finish better. On one hand, the aesthetic features of the previous Kuga still present subtly, on the other, have been largely renovated and eventually I perceive it as something more classic than the last , with plenty of straight lines everywhere where there was a greater sense of dynamism.
In my humble opinion, Ford designers have taken refuge in the calm waters of the conventional, exactly looking for a car for all ages and digestive aesthetics . In fact, it reminds me slightly to Toyota RAV4 2010 , moreover pioneer and king of the segment. The problem is that, among its Kuga Ford pulled without risking too much, Toyota has been renewed deeply (RAV4 2013) by moving the reference point.
Here are the pictures, but at this point I would especially like to know the opinion of the readers in the comments below, because sometimes reality is more dependent on the observed object observer. Aesthetically Has not been a little out of date before you start , as a RAV4 2010 presented at 2013?
The interior of the Ford Kuga also leaves me mixed feelings so far. The car has a consistent design, fresh and attractive , keeping very recognizable line of the last Ford in terms dashboard and center console. The layout and feel of the controls is pretty good, and the user interface is more or less straightforward , especially when you consider the amount of features that we manage, although the software deserves special comment (below).
In general, the distribution of things is logically quite clear interface and I especially like the high placed gear stick very close to the steering wheel and therefore the driver's right hand. midfielder is rather small and contributes to the nice subliminal feeling that the car is compact and handy, but has rather little of the one and the other. The unit tested also had nice full leather seats, sunroof widespread and virtually all equipment imaginable.
