Ford’s new 2009 Kuga inspired by the 2006 Ford iosis X concept and previewed at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show, the production-spec Kuga debuted at Geneva as the brand's first European crossover. With a 2.0-liter Duratorq TDCi diesel engine and all-wheel drive, the Kuga gives drivers better traction and more room than its Focus platform mate, all while beautifully maintaining Ford's kinetic design language.
The Kuga's exterior features a light assortment of chrome accents, side vents, projector-style headlights and fog lights, rear parking sensors, dual exhaust outlets, and a "liftgate-in-liftgate" tailgate. Inside, the crossover's instrument cluster and audio/navigation systems are shared with the Focus, but each vehicle receives its own unique air vents and smaller design touches.
