Ford Kuga Coupe 2012, the new contender? - jitenc - 26-03-2012 08:19pm
Is the Ford Kuga 2012 the new contender for the Evoque? It due to be launched in Sept 2012 and estimated to be max £22000.
sorry, don't know how to post a pic.
Just got the link;

I've seen worse and it will be a lot cheaper, so bound to sell.
It won't be on my shopping list though.

Will it still have the horrid plastic interior?

Apparently, it would cost £22000 max so it will sell to a wider market...

Looks good. But a contender no, at the end of the day it's a Ford, no match for LR or any of the Germany brands.
But look out Nissan.

I think it looks cool! It could have been a contender if it had been around at the same time as the evoque and a shot waiting list. My father has a Mondeo and I like the way it drives.

Won't have hill descent control or any other handy SUV features.

Why not? You can get a Kuga as a 4x4 and it is, in fact, the same system as used on Evoques (admiittedly without the clever terrain electronics).

DD I stated SUV:
It doesn't even have the hill descent control that the Rav4 or Tiguan have. And that's not even part of the terrain response. Remember LR have now moved on from Ford!

Fair enough, but, in the bit of your post I italicised to indicate which bit I was replying to, you had said it doesn't have "any other handy SUV features".
