Officially, the new generation Ford Kuga was introduced by the German manufacturer last year, although it only entered the car dealerships in March 2013.
Immediately, car owners can be pleased: the new crossover added 81 cm in length, which allowed us to make more useful boot volume, the remaining dimensions of the German-American car remained the same.
The exterior design of the car Ford Kuga
Feedback from participants in the auto show indicates a significant change in the appearance of the car. We can say that the crossover has turned into an aggressive assertive car. The front of the vehicle carries a huge bumper, on which a three-segment air intake is mounted. The trapezoidal central segment and the ribs of its side faces rise through the entire vertical of the bow, forming stylish stampings along the edges of the hood. The bumper edge is complemented by a chrome insert in the center.
On the front on the ledges of the wings are beautiful headlights with ribbons of LEDs. On the pronounced profile of the car through the hoods located on the sides, the hood flows down, supplemented in the center by two longitudinal stylish ribs. The body sides of the Ford Kuga, reviews of which are very bright, abound with embossed edges, stylish ribs, and in some places bloated. In the car, embossed doors are harmoniously complemented by an enlarged rear, and the front pillar quickly ascended.
Throughout the entire length, the body is carefully protected by plastic linings, with which panels and door frames are especially securely closed. Now sand and stones flying from under the front wheels will not be able to mutilate the bodywork. The wheel arches show off alloy wheels that have received a new pattern.
Interior Design Ford Kuga
Reviews about the new car say that it almost completely copies the internal content of its fellow Focus. The steering wheel is also familiar with a conveniently shaped steering wheel with noticeable control buttons, a color computer screen and two dials, a dashboard, the same front panel and a center console turning into a high tunnel. On the front row are comfortable seats with an extensive range of settings, a nice dense padding and an excellent profile.
Seats in the second row will be enough to comfortably accommodate only two people of short stature. More massive passengers will rest their knees on the front seats. In the new model, a pleasant trifle is the ability to change the backrest and convert the rear seats when folding into a flat area. Unlike previous models, the fifth door completely opens in the new car.
