Kuga hybrid plug-in review: Boot space and economy figures make this Ford a solid farm option

The Ford Kuga plug-in hybrid

Alistair Chambers

The Ford Kuga was one of the original family-sized SUVs when it was launched in 2008. Over the years it has had a strong farming following, with the previous two-seat and four-seat commercial versions found at every mart in the country.

It used to come with a 2L diesel engine which was strangely thirsty, especially if teamed with the four-wheel-drive system.
