Inovev forecasts 200,000 new Ford Kugas per year
- Ford unveiled the new generation of the Kuga (C segment ) SUV just a few weeks after the Geneva Motor Show, where the manufacturer was not present. The new Kuga is 9cm longer and 4cm wider than the old generation launched in 2012. Its length is therefore 4.61m and its width 1.88m. Its fluid design is inspired by the new Focus launched last year, and it uses the Focus platform and some of its engines.
- The new Kuga, which will be available as of autumn 2019, will be the only model produced at the Valencia site in Spain next year, as Ford has announced the transfer of the Transit Connect to Mexico and the elimination without replacement of the Mondeo, Galaxy and S-Max currently produced in Valencia.
- The Ford Kuga will continue to compete with the C-segment SUVs of generalist brands such as Renault Kadjar, Peugeot 3008, Citroën C5 Aircross, Opel Grandland, Volkswagen Tiguan, Skoda Karoq, Seat Ateca, Nissan Qashqai, Toyota RAV4, Honda CRV, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage...
