Overview

The Ford Kuga (III) PHEV is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by Ford since 2019. It marks the third generation of this model and is primarily designed for European markets, though it shares its name with the North American market's Ford Escape. The vehicle features five new engine/transmission combinations including a plug-in petrol electric hybrid capable of up to 30 miles on electricity alone. Built on the C2 platform, which also underpins the latest Focus model, this generation is longer and wider than its predecessor, offering improved interior space and fuel efficiency.

Go wider and the offset has to rise with it, about 8 to 10 ET per extra 1J, or the wheel pokes past the arch. The fit-check settles the exact offset and any spacer.

History & notable variants

The third-generation Kuga made its debut in April 2019 and went on sale as a 2020 model. It was designed to be Ford's first SUV using the C2 platform, which allowed for significant weight reduction compared to previous models. A facelift was introduced in January 2024, following the North American market counterpart, the Escape.
